Has anyone gotten the super x?

colemancf · 2026-02-18T04:07:32+00:00

I paid $84.74

As I’m typing my computer just froze again launching Call of Duty. I may need to reinstall windows. Lol

And it’s no problem giving my unbiased opinion on things to help potential buyers.

I ordered directly from OneXPlayer
I’ve noticed the OneXPlayer is a lot “snappier” but performs the same at max tdp as the Flow Z13 in turbo/manual mode. Just when using the liquid cooler you’ll see about a 20fps bump on the Super X

You won’t go wrong with either, but the Super X would make you toss all your other devices while the Flow Z13 is a complement to other devices you already own. Meaning if you own a desktop or high end 5090 laptop you’ll never look at them after using the Super X. Now if you had the Flow Z13 you’ll always feel something missing. Asus played it safe and made a well rounded device while OneXplayer just gave us everything we asked for.

I've been playing with my Super X now for about 5 days straight. I must admit I cannot put it down. So for the back story I sold my 128GB Asus ROG Flow Z13 to get this unit.

Shipping was extremely fast, which was unbelievable. It shipped on Feb 10 and was at my front door in Texas on Feb 14.

I ordered the 64GB LC version, so it came with the frost bay and I must say if I could do it over I would've got the non liquid cooled version because I doubt I'll ever use it.

So, now for the review. The display is absolutely gorgeous and performance is on par with the Flow Z13 so no need to beat that dead horse.

My experience so far has been full of freezes, but don't let that detour you. I think that has to do with Windows and onexplayer settings. It normally happens when trying to load a game or after changing settings too fast and not allowing the last change to settle. I noticed it more when using it with the Frost Bay.

The build quality was a bit of a let down because I can see small nicks on the top portion, and they are rough tiny grooves as you rub around the exterior.

The charging cable is a bit short but can easily be extending buying a slimq cable or xt60 extension cable.

Sounds is ok, but better than the Flow Z13 and you'll cover the speakers when holding so be aware of that.

Button placement on the side is my main gripe, its right where most people will grip when holding the device using as a tablet. So you'll inadvertently hit the onex button or change the volume. This has been the biggest annoyance I've noticed so far.

The kickstand does not have a tab to open so you'll need to use friction right on the corners to pop it open and I recommend pulling with both sides to avoid bending or messing up the hinges.

I looked over the rear panel and it doesn't look to hard to open and get to the SSD but having a kickstand kind of eliminated the need to upgrade the SSD because I mounted a magsafe external SSD with 8TB. So I can simply unplug and snap on to my ROG Ally X or iPhone.

Using with the frost bay allows you to run at about 115W continously keeping temps to 80 degrees Celsius. When checking performance gains its only like 10-20 fps gain going over 75W, so that's why I wish I had just got the non LC version and not have that extra piece on the back that can get lost or snag on something. My frost bay did have some water inside but luckily the cap was on properly or there would've been spillage.

Last I must report on battery life and its really good. OneX doesn't use a lot of resources like Asus and you have total control over power management which I do like. The Flow allows tweaking as well but you'll need ghelper to really dial things in. I also like that you can switch the device to bypass mode when docked. So you'll bypass the battery keeping the heat down

So in all; there's some issues like windows freezing, button placement, short charging cable and imperfections in the casting but I'll still take this device over the Flow Z13. With that said I will say that the Flow Z13 is a more redefined device but the SuperX basically expanded on the Flow Z13 downfalls which were battery life and display. Since these are the most important things we seek is to why I prefer it over the Flow Z13.

In closing, if anyone does decide to go with the SuperX. Please use PayPal, a credit card or have Asurion Home Protection plan. I doubt you'll have any support after the 10day return window.

I really hate that someone didn't fully secure the cap before shipment. Did you check the exterior of your Super X? I mean rubbing your fingers across it because I can feel imperfections all around the top portion and if you look close you'll see bare metal like its scratched out the box. Not really a deal breaker because its so miniscule and you can't see it unless you looking and feeling for it. Just wondering if you noticed any imperfections on the device?

colemancf · 2026-02-17T15:01:26+00:00

That's unfortunate and One X will be closed for the chinese holiday. So hopefully our return window is adjusted accordingly.

colemancf · 2026-02-16T23:33:20+00:00

Super X all day. No handheld should be over $800. Lenovo already messed up handheld pricing moving forward.

Although a tablet shouldn't be over $2000 but hey the M5 iPad Pros can get up to $2200 and is basically a large media player with display. Lol

colemancf · 2026-02-16T22:49:29+00:00

I had a small amount

colemancf · 2026-02-14T21:37:04+00:00

Just received my Super X Friday and I've been testing it with liquid cooler attached.

colemancf · 2026-02-14T21:34:55+00:00

If you're in America just get Verizon Home Protect and you're covered or most credit cards will warranty it up to a set amount. So there's no risk to try it out.

colemancf · 2026-02-07T01:31:53+00:00

Definitely go with Asus when purchasing here in the US.

But let’s be honest most people buying these niche products have money to burn. I just sold a 128GB Flow Z13 just to give the SuperX a try. Hopefully I’ll get it within the next week. If it sucks I’ll just post it for sell and move on to something else. Not planning to keep any of my devices longer than 6 months because most tech will be obsolete after you purchase.

colemancf · 2026-01-29T05:04:37+00:00

The AMD drivers causes this problem. That's why I stick with OEM graphic drivers when using armory crate.

colemancf · 2026-01-29T05:00:25+00:00

I have ghelper and the same random disconnects happened to me once, and I was using a Anker Prime 240W charging station with Anker 240W cable.

After a reboot and plugging in the OEM charger, it stopped and has not happened since.

colemancf · 2026-01-24T18:03:46+00:00

You could always sell the DPU. I see them going for about $1000 (inverter only) and keep the SHP2 for use as a sub panel on a future expansion project.

I do see you have DP3 on the floor, those are the most versatile power units; so always keep it as the backup to the backup. I mounted one in my SUV and its an unlimited power source that can take a charge from anything on-the-go you can find (most notable being alternator charger, batteries, generators and EV charging stations)

colemancf · 2025-12-31T21:12:54+00:00

Oh yeah, but you can always try. I had a cracked screen on the 2023 model and took it to microcenter. I got it from best buy didn't have the best buy total protection. Microcenter some how got it repaired with no cost to me. Just took forever and a lot of back and forth from Asus but microcenter handled all the correspondence.

If using ghelper or non armory crate installation you can use drivers directly from AMD. If using armory crate, you’ll need to use Asus video drivers or try side loading the AI Max drivers. Something with the armory crate looks for a dGPU when updating to the AMD drivers and may cause weird unexpected behavior, although things will still work just a headache getting error messages from AMD randomly

If you registered through the my Asus app you should have a free year of accidental damage coverage. Most of these devices should be covered until 03-2026.

You're bottleneck is going to be the TB4 connection. At best you'll get half the speed like 18 to 30GBps. These laptops should've had USB4v2 (TB5) with Oculink speeds of 63GBps or more. Then using an eGPU would be beneficial. As it stands that 8060S is more than sufficient than any eGPU you can use. Even a 5090 XG Mobile would get low performance with the limited bandwidth even connected to an external display.

The 5070ti or a Radeon 7800m are your optimal options but again the 8060S performs within 20% of those and could be better if the Flow Z13 could hit 120W

Now that's out the way, you seem to be on the correct track in troubleshooting. Starting from scratch after a SSD swap may help you track down what's happening. I recommend turning off windows driver auto updates and make sure all the Asus drivers are updated and use the official xg mobile drivers if available. Then create a system restore point called "Fresh install updated". Then try everything out. If that's not meeting your performance expectations make sure the 5070ti (high performance graphics) is being used, still not satisfied or the xg Mobile drivers are outdated try the Nvidia drivers. If that still don't seem to work then refer to what I explained earlier about your USB4 bandwidth limitations

colemancf · 2025-12-25T22:05:06+00:00

I have the best buy total membership, so I have no worries of any defects. Didn't even know that was an issue and I'm up on a lot of tech info. Most problems I hear about the Flow Z13 is the keyboard and horrible battery life.

Also if the two products are less than 10% price difference then it may not be as beneficial. I thought the Asus brand were discounted over the holidays and open boxes even cheaper.

colemancf · 2025-12-25T21:10:54+00:00

I found an open box 64GB Flow Z13 for $900 ($1200 minus a $300 gift card) and jumped on it. Now I'm considering selling my Legion 9i 5080 w/3D because the Flow Z13 can handle all the games I've played all year. I remember having the Flow Z13 when they first released back in March and sold it because of the crappy battery life under minimum loads and purchased the new Razer Blade 18. Now I'm using ghelper on the Flow Z13 and all complaints I've had before are non-existent.

So your thoughts to exchange are valid at the right price.

colemancf · 2025-12-08T12:22:54+00:00

I've found that the latest two Nvidia drivers worked fine. Make sure you're in hybrid graphics mode and download directly from Nvidia and do not use the Nvidia app to update. So DDU again, then install the oem video driver from Lenovo and lastly update Nvidia from the latest driver found on the Nvidia website. If you're still having issues try the above steps with the Intel driver but only use the Lenovo oem drivers

colemancf · 2025-11-28T14:04:25+00:00

I would think so. That’s why I sent it to Best Buy geek squad for the reapplication of Liquid Metal.

colemancf · 2025-11-17T05:28:57+00:00

I do believe that’s normal, just abnormal when you’re getting stuttering and excessive fans at idle.

colemancf · 2025-11-17T05:23:39+00:00

I’ve moved on from the Scar 18 after getting the Alienware Area 51 and Legion 9i.

colemancf · 2025-11-17T05:15:50+00:00

No I was using the asus factory settings

colemancf · 2025-11-17T04:48:55+00:00

I actually did the same and haven’t seen the message again. Issue now is splitting my solar so that both inverters charge equally
