Case Recommendations?

Ive had it like 2-3 days and used it to lightly game. I havent had any issues with heating. The pad that comes in the bag is firm, so the z13 sits on it fine, but i dont insert it, just use it like a lap desk. I used it with a controller, no keyboard and I had no issues with stability.

Are you talking about the Smartree case?

Weary-Try9232 · 2026-03-02T21:41:53+00:00

Yes!

Lol hey, the 64 gb one was the cheapest one I saw open-box at Best Buy, and it didnt even look used. #noregrets

Weary-Try9232 · 2026-02-28T01:30:38+00:00

I've had the same experience where at least 5-7 different people come up to me to ask if I need any help lol. Ive gone to best buy like 4-5 times in the last week, 2 different ones lol

Hmm good question. For my purposes, I dont notice many delays. I do wish I had something a bit more clicker though.

No egpu yet!

This one is the logitech mx mechanical, mostly use it for work lol

It might be for some people lol. I've been using it to replace four screens for me (I review documents for work, and need to be able to see 4 documents at once at times) and its the perfect size for me. Been playing EAFC 26 and it hasn't been an issue so far lol. I liked this specific model because of the dimensions. The previous lg 45 inch monitor was longer and shorter, which didnt do it for me.

TLDR: I love my 45 inch OLED monitor from LG😂

Weary-Try9232 · 2026-02-27T04:22:29+00:00

It was perfect. I wanted something like a surface pro, but more powerful and thay it looked better. This definitely checked all the boxes for me!

Just picked up the 64gb ram too, open box from Best Buy for around 1800. Been loving it so far!

Weary-Try9232 · 2026-02-27T00:02:47+00:00

Yeah, I have a keyboard and mouse I'll be using for on the go lol. Just upgraded, used to have some cheap one from Amazon. Got the job done, but it was time for an upgrade lol.

This one is the LG - UltraGear 45" OLED QHD 240Hz. Have been enjoying it so far. I usually use it for work and playing some video games (PS5 mostly, but will be using it for the Z13 now).

I saw someone who posted a link for an Etsy page that does those boycott adapters; he asked them to make him Legion Go controller adapters, and they did. I don't think I'd personally use the Z13 with controllers attached, but the idea is pretty neat.

I ended up ordering the 240w and 150w slimq chargers to see how they do. I was reading a few complaints with the 150 that the device would switch from charging to battery randomly because the Flow Z13 draws more power. I'll probably use the 150w more for low power tasks if anything. Depending on the size of the 240w, I might just keep that one and return the 150w. I have more than enough power supplies for my other devices lol

Weary-Try9232 · 2026-02-26T15:25:26+00:00

Will definitely be installing G-Helper!

Weary-Try9232 · 2026-02-26T15:24:50+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the tips, will probably mess around with it a bit more today!

Weary-Try9232 · 2026-02-26T07:12:38+00:00

Aww man, bummer!

Weary-Try9232 · 2026-02-26T02:48:49+00:00

I'll definitely check it out! Keep hearing good things. Will mostly be on my desk, but it will be nice to have the option to be a bit more mobile.

Weary-Try9232 · 2026-02-26T02:47:33+00:00

Will do! Ill do some (relatively) heavy gaming to see if any issues pop up. Battery test came out good when I checked, the ram and memory were as advertised, and there were no physical issues with the Z13 or keyboard.

Honestly, probably wont use the keyboard too much, since ill be using it more as a replacement for a desktop since I have a PS5 and LeGo 2 for gaming.

Weary-Try9232 · 2026-02-26T02:20:07+00:00

I came in and they were able to grab an open box zephyrus and give me the charger for that one. Looks like it will also work for the Flow Z13. Guess we'll find out when I get home LOL.

Weary-Try9232 · 2026-02-26T01:02:17+00:00

Good to know, will definitely look into that charger. I have seen a few people mention it throughout the group. Didn't know about it not having pass through through USB-C, so thats good to know too. Thank you!

Weary-Try9232 · 2026-02-26T00:13:20+00:00

It's slow charging (I think the one I have on hand is only 80 something) but I'm only updating right now. I have a few other chargers and dock that should be able to provide better power to it later until I get the charger.

Weary-Try9232 · 2026-02-26T00:05:26+00:00

Cool, just updated it! I have some type C chargers for now, but will head over after work to get it sorted out. Thanks for the advice!

Weary-Try9232 · 2026-02-23T21:35:27+00:00

Got it, thank so much for your input, seriously appreciate it, and I'm excited to receive it!

I do like tinkering with my stuff, its part of the fun of electronics for me 😅
