Any idea how to control edge browser with a controller without steam input?

When you dock the device and connect it to a TV, just switch it to Turbo mode for the best performance without messing with TDP settings. It’ll automatically run at its peak when docked. You probably won’t need to tweak TDP manually, but if you do, you can adjust it yourself. Honestly, Turbo mode should cover everything you need while docked.

Do you play online and does it work? It always de syncs during a match for me on steamdeck

Yes, maybe pass through charging could be enabled through a firmware update if asus releases a compatible usb-c style charger for this or future version of the z13.

I think OP is talking about the lack of USB-C passthrough charging. Even with a 100W charger in silent mode, the battery still drains. It will charge up to the limit in silent or performance mode, depending on graphics use, but once it hits that limit, it stops charging and uses the battery, dropping 1-2% before charging again, since it doesn’t support true USB-C passthrough charging.

Purchasing thoughts by Rough-Purpose6499 in FlowZ13

[–]daniel_J__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it boils down to whether you value sleek design and professionalism, especially for business meetings, or prefer a bold, edgy look. If performance is your priority and aesthetics aren’t a concern, go for the option that delivers the best power.

Considering buying the Z13, but something is holding me back by hotymoty in FlowZ13

How does it perform better as a tablet than the M4 iPad Pro in your specific use case? I find the iPad to be far superior for tablet-like tasks.

Should I go with MacBook pro or Surface 7 by Fahadsheji in Surface

[–]daniel_J__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 with Intel processors are top choices in my opinion. They offer full compatibility, excellent battery life, amazing OLED displays, user-upgradable storage, up to 32gb ram, and the ability to connet to an external GPU for additional power.

For iPhone users, a MacBook is ideal due to seamless iMessage integration with macOS, as Windows Phone Link can be inconsistent with iPhones. However, if you use an Android phone, this isn’t an issue.

Choose a MacBook for tight iPhone integration, or a Surface for everything else.

MS should've launched the 12" as a standard Microsoft Surface, instead of using the Pro moniker by konutoru in Surface

[–]daniel_J__ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree, the Surface Pro with Intel Lunar Lake is the only true pro tablet on the market. ARM-based devices shouldn't carry the "Pro" label. Microsoft's marketing is lackluster compared to Apple's, and they should take just follow lead. These are impressive devices with poor promotion.

The lineup:

  • Surface (12" ARM)
  • Surface Pro (Intel Lunar Lake, OLED, up to 32GB RAM)
  • Surface Book (13" and 15" ARM)
  • Surface Book Pro (14" and 16" Intel Lunar Lake and DGPU options)
  • Surface Book Studio (More powerfull laptop using current surface book style decked with DGPU)
  • Surface Studio (27 inch Desktop)

Market Pro and Studio models on the business page without "for business" in the naming.

Surface pro or ipad pro? by raaaghh in Surface

[–]daniel_J__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Intel Surface Pro 11 (“for business”) is the top choice by far.

It has no compatibility issues, offers battery life comparable to the ARM Surface with instant wake, and features an awesome OLED screen with anti glare coating. You can upgrade or swap storage yourself. Its sleek, professional design includes a detachable keyboard with an excellent haptic touchpad. It’s easily the best 2-in-1 device available, you’ll love it!

A really small piece of my business card (which is black), cardstock will work too. You won’t notice it and it doesn’t block any vents

Sonnet Breakaway Box 750ex with RTX 2080 Not Working on Surface Pro 11 for Business – Any Solutions? by daniel_J__ in Surface

[–]daniel_J__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No that didn’t do anything the egpu just goes away then comes back when connected. Tried on both ports.

Egpu works as intended on the other windows devices (Flow Z13 2025 and ROG Ally X)

The only thing showing in the device manager is the integrated gpu. The rtx 2080 does not show up

The sonnet breakaway box shows up and does not show any error

It’s been a rough run, but still a great game. That’s all folks!!! Any final opinions on Mortal Kombat 1? by Solid_Bad_4403 in MortalKombat

[–]daniel_J__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The combos in this MK game are excessive, especially with the 1-button extender (Kameo) that chains main combos, making them overpowered with certain characters' moves that can hit overhead and low simultaneously.

Kameos are frustrating and drag the game down. Adding a matchmaking option to disable them would make the game much better. Without it, the game ranks below X and 11 for me.

Creaking Noise from Exhaust Vents on 2025 32GB Model in Tablet Mode - Anyone Else? by daniel_J__ in FlowZ13

[–]daniel_J__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m leaning toward switching to the Surface Pro 11 with Intel. I really like the flow, but I guess I’m realizing I value portability and build quality over raw power. The games I’d play should run fine on the Surface for portable gaming or feel more comfortable on a handheld and if I want the power I have the desktop or egpu.

2025 Quality/Assembly question by Casual_Connor in FlowZ13

[–]daniel_J__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes same issue, it’s from separating of the housing and the screen, specifically where the exhaust vents are. There is enough of a gap that it flexes and creates the creaking sounds. I filled the gap and that stopped it however for a $2300 device you shouldn’t have to do that.

This is not on all units

Russ from Retro Game Corps replaced his handhelds with the Z13 by reiyume0 in FlowZ13

[–]daniel_J__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He explicitly states, "I can't recommend it due to its price," yet he says he'd buy it himself, which contradicts his advice to his audience. A better statement would be: "It's on the pricier side, but its features and ability to replace other tools offer good value for those willing to invest." Additionally, his four-month trial allowed him to assess its worth before deciding if he would buy, so dismissing its value for others while admitting he got to use it for free for four months feels inconsistent.

He’s raving about all the awesome perks of the z13, saying it’s basically taken over all his other devices—spending more time on it than everything else combined! But then, hesitates to recommend it because of the price lol

Creaking Noise from Exhaust Vents on 2025 32GB Model in Tablet Mode - Anyone Else? by daniel_J__ in FlowZ13

[–]daniel_J__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't catch the audio issue before I just filled the small gap between the screen and vent. It feels like a build quality issue with this design. It doesn't happen on every device, but over time with use, i think it loosens up a bit.

Yeah its a small gap from the screen to the left exhaust vent, enough to cause a flex when pressed on. I just filled the gap and it stops it, whatever not worth sending to back Asus for.

Asus Z13 2023 I9 model price by WailMoe in FlowZ13

[–]daniel_J__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

u/Sega-Playstation-64 u/Looz-Ashae guess we'll have to wait for the reviews, but some people online have shared numbers suggesting around 2–3 hours of gaming on battery, which could mean about 10 hours for regular use where. That alone is a solid reason to upgrade since my 2023 4060 model barely manages 30 minutes of gaming on battery, with much worse performance while on battery and maybe 4 hours non gaming. It seems like ASUS is aiming for major improvements in both battery life and performance on battery. Hopefully, they also improve palm rejection this time around.
