If you need mobility, you should not look towards gaming solutions with large screens.
At the CES 2026 exhibition, ASUS announced a collaboration with Kojima Productions and unveiled a special edition of the ROG Flow Z13 laptop, along with a line of branded accessories — headphones, a mouse, a mouse pad, and a protective case. This was reported by PC Gamer.
It is noted that the design of the devices was developed by the art director of Kojima Productions, Eiji Aonuma, a longtime associate of Hideo Kojima. The limited edition is styled in the studio's signature style, using the Kojima Productions branding and a white-and-gold color scheme.
The ROG Flow Z13-KJP convertible laptop is equipped with an AMD Ryzen AI MAX+395 processor, an AMD XDNA NPU neural processor, and integrated Radeon 8060S graphics. The device features a 13.4-inch display with a refresh rate of 180 Hz and 128 GB of LPDDR5X 8000 RAM.
The base version of the ROG Flow Z13 went on sale in early 2025 and received mixed reviews: reviewers praised the device for its suitability for work tasks but pointed out its limited gaming performance.
The release of the ROG Flow Z13-KJP is scheduled for the first half of 2026. The price of the new model has not yet been disclosed.
What Laptop Do You Need?
Before buying a laptop, you should first determine how long you will need it, for what purposes, and what budget you are planning. It is also important to consider what devices you have used before.
The main rule: the best laptop is the one that meets all the tasks assigned to it: from work to entertainment. If you need mobility, you should not look towards gaming solutions with large screens, and if you need high performance, you should not skimp on the processor and graphics card.
Budget Laptops
When choosing a budget laptop, the most important factor is the price-to-specifications ratio. Many models in this category have their own features that should be taken into account, and you should be prepared for certain limitations in parameters.
For whom: students, office workers, people who mainly work in browsers, documents, and messengers. Do not expect high performance in games, video editing, and other demanding programs.
