This was a defeating moment for me, I hadn't owned this machine for 30 days and already I am having to send in my dock and computer in for repairs. I reached out ASUS suppport and they could not even really help me and suggested I send the PC back for inspection and repairs. I updated the firmware through ASUS's terrible Armory software and still yielded the same results. It would not work no matter what I tried. After exactly 30 days, the XG Mobile dock stopped charging the Z13. This feature is super handy, that is, if it continues to work for you. This dock gives you Z13 that bump in performance and graphics, but it comes with lots of headaches too.For instance, you are supposed to be able to charge the Z13 when it's connected to the dock. It's not unitl you involve the XG Mobile RTX 3080 dock that things started falling apart for me and apparantly for other users. The Z13 tablet computer is not a bad machine on its own. The screen was nice and bright for a tablet computer and touch was responsive. Windows 11 Pro set up pretty quickly and was not too horrible of a jump coming from Windows 10. I had hoped for a 32 GB of RAM version, but at the moment is was only available in 16 GB of RAM. I certainly enjoyed the RGB window in the back showing off some of the main board.The computer is fast and snappy. If you are familiar with ROG products, had that familiar ROG aesthetic all over it. It has a nice metal feel and sturdiness to it that felt premium. The Z13 came bundled with the XG Mobile RTX 3080 dock, a case for Z13, a case for XG Mobile dock, AC chargers for both Z13 and XG Mobile Dock and writing stylus. I was delighted to check this machine out and decided to make this my own PC for gaming and on the go.The computer arrived well packed and well accessorized. Then out of the blue comes this computer, which seemed like a Surface on steroids. I loved the Surface Pro, but didn't quite handle gaming well. I loved my MSI gaming laptop, but it was quite large/thick and heavy. I enjoyed owning both machines, but often fantasized if I could somehow merge the 2 machines and get the best of both worlds. My previous computer setup consisted of a MSI gaming computer and a Surface Pro computer for on the go.
