For the Hideo Kojima fans out there, I have some good news. The legendary game developer's latest foray into hardware has resulted in one of the most futuristic 2-in-1 laptops I've ever seen. Seriously, it looks like it was torn straight out of the Death Stranding universe, and it's now available to buy.
I'm talking, of course, about the ASUS ROG Limited Special Edition Kojima Productions Flow Z13 2-in-1 gaming PC that originally went up for presale orders last week. If you didn't happen to secure your model with a preorder, you can now purchase it directly from Antonline.
The limited-edition ASUS ROG Flow Z13-KJP was designed in collaboration with legendary artist Yoji Shinkawa, and the results are extraordinary.
While the PC holds onto its Flow Z13 DNA, new carbon fiber accents for the body, a black-and-gold color scheme, and angular cutouts on the CNC-machined aluminum body turn it into a work of art. The detachable keyboard has been revamped, with new colors, a new typeface, and angled edges that play into the sci-fi motif.
Completing the collection is a custom carrying case styled after the Death Stranding world, an exclusive Armoury Crate theme for the PC's onboard software, two months of PC Game Pass, and keys for the upcoming Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and Crimson Desert. Both games are expected to launch later this month.
As for performance hardware, you're looking at an AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 CPU, 128GB of RAM, a 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, and a dazzling 2.5K IPS touch display sitting at a 180Hz refresh rate.
Wait, no discrete graphics? That's right; this PC's AMD Ryzen AI chip includes a Radeon 8060S iGPU that can essentially borrow up to 112GB of system memory for VRAM, giving it a massive boost. When we tested the PC, it hit frame rates well above 100 FPD in titles like Forza Horizon 5 and Black Ops 6.
Windows Central's take on the ASUS ROG Flow Z13
My former colleague Zachary Boddy reviewed the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 favorably and gave it a Windows Central Recommended Award thanks to its "surprisingly good execution of the form factor with a comfy keyboard and sturdy kickstand," as well as "excellent mobile performance, with solid efficiency to boot."
Ultimately, Boddy positioned this PC as a great buy for anyone who loves a 2-in-1 but wants gaming power running behind the screen. Here's how Boddy explains it:
"The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (2025) is weird in the best possible way. It takes a form factor no one associates with gaming or serious, intense workloads, and then packs it with the most ridiculously powerful, overqualified mobile hardware AMD has ever created. It's thick and heavy, not subtle in the slightest, and somehow blends the opposing design ethos of thin-and-light Windows 2-in-1 tablets and big-and-powerful Windows gaming laptops into a single chunky slab."
As I mentioned, you can now buy the ASUS ROG Limited Special Edition Kojima Productions Flow Z13 directly from Antonline. As the name suggests, the PC was manufactured in a limited quantity, so if you're interested, I wouldn't wait too long.
