The showstopper of the new line-up is the ROG Flow X13, a high-end convertible gaming laptop built to work with a proprietary detachable eGPU that Asus calls XG Mobile. The laptop already packs discrete graphics — the GeForce GTX 1650 — but the XG Mobile unlocks more advanced “graphical” capabilities. It connects to the laptop through a custom PCIe 3.0×8 interface that allows for — in the words of Asus — “ultra-fast graphic delivery and lower latency than usual eGPU boxes.” It can also serve double duty through its integrated adaptor and multiple I/O ports. Needless to say, the XG Mobile will be sold separately though it isn’t immediately available for buying. Asus says it will be available in the coming few months.
