The Asus ROG Flow Z13-KJP arrives in Australia next week

Asus and Kojima Productions announced a partnership last year and now gamers are about to get to enjoy the results of it, as the ROG Flow Z13-KJP will be released here in Australia next week.

The unit takes inspiration from the Death Stranding series of games, specifically the Ludens, a fiction race of beingings within a book from the world. Designed by the legendary artist Yoji Shinkawa, known for his unique art style, the Flow Z13-KJP was crafted to capture the spirit of this character, down to the angular cut-outs on the CNC-milled aluminium chassis, the usage of carbon fibre, and a bold typeface.โ€ฏ

โ€œI wanted to create a gadget that belongs to Ludens and I integrated that into this PC design. Parts and designs are inspired by Ludens and has its essenceโ€
— Yoji Shinkawa, Art Director - Kojima Productions

The Flow Z13-KJP is powered by the AMDโ€ฏRyzen AI Max+ 395 with Radeon 8060S Graphics, combining 16 Zen 5 CPU cores and 40 RDNA 3.5 GPU compute units on a single chip for high-end PC gaming and content creation. This formidable portable PC rig offers a unified memory architecture that allows dynamic allocation of a massive 128GB pool, optimising performance across gaming and creative tasks. With 50 TOPS of NPU power, it can run LLMs locally for enhanced productivity and security โ€“ a significant advantage for PC users balancing work and play.โ€ฏโ€ฏ

The 13.4-inch 2.5K Nebula Display with a 180Hz refresh rate and 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space, paired with a detachable keyboard, makes the Z13-KJP a versatile 2-in-1 device ideal for immersive PC gameplay, cinematic visuals, and creative work โ€” whether gaming at home or creating on the go across diverse landscapes, perfectly suited for the Australian lifestyle.โ€ฏ

โ€œAustraliaโ€™s PC gaming community is incredibly vibrant and discerning. This collaborationโ€ฏwith Kojima Productions representsโ€ฏsomething extraordinaryโ€ฏand willโ€ฏresonate deeply with the dedicated PC players across our nation.โ€ฏThe productโ€ฏpowerfully merges elite ROG performance,โ€ฏthe very essence of PC gaming excellence,โ€ฏwith the iconic, visionary artistry of Yoji Shinkawa. For the dedicated fans ofโ€ฏ Kojima Productions and the broader ROG PC community in Australia, this is more than just a setup; itโ€™sโ€ฏaโ€ฏstatement piece for those who dare to experience gaming at its most innovative and collectible.โ€
