If you're looking to buy new hardware, also consider the Asus Rog Flow Z13. It has the same chip as the Framework desktop and is 20% cheaper ($2,700) for the 128 GB spec while coming in a tablet/laptop form factor. [...]
[...] Asus ROG Flow Z13. It's a beast; the performance is totally disproportionate to its size & form factor. [...]
I got ASUS ROG Flow Z13 128G with Ryzen AI 395, and I am able to train nanoGPT with little effort. On Windows (haven't tried Linux), where ROCm was just released recently. See
[...] You can toggle it on in the AMD software just below the Super Res option. [...] And the extra FPS are only visible in the AMD software's FPS counter overlay, not in other FPS counter overlays. I recently got a Asus Rog Flow Z13 gaming "tablet" with the AMD Strix Halo APU. [...]
[...] Its fantastically light and I can plug it in to two displays. It has a very lightweight keyboard folio. More typically, i leave that at home & bring a small light clamp-mount arm that lets me easily mount it to whatever is nearby, tables or desks chairs or whatever.

Ok i got my metapen 3 for my asus rog flow z13 arcnm and it works great. I dont know how this 360 button is supposed to work but I also grabbed an aoiktye numpad for shortcuts anyway so just waiting for that to charge (and hoping that it works for windows CSP, the reviews say it does)
I've been using the Asus ROG Flow Z13-KJP for the last two weeks. With plenty of design touchstones to Kojima Production, this $4,999 rig is a portable powerhouse but ultimately for the most die-hard Kojima fans. www.iphoneincanada.ca/2026/02/24/a...
[...] Switching from a Macbook Pro M4 to an Asus ROG Flow Z13 with Debian. macOS 26.3 updated clang and broke my emscripten workflow. [...] My son wanted to try a Java minecraft app on his iPhone, but it required insane workarounds to enable JIT to get acceptable performance. [...] I'll certainly be contributing back the things I build.
[...] Just installed LM Studio on a new machine today (2025 Asus ROG Flow Z13, 96GB VRAM, running Linux). [...]
You should be able to use ollama’s Vulkan backend and in my experience the speed will be the same. (I just spent a bunch of time putting Linux on my 2025 ASUS ROG Flow Z13 to use ROCm, only to see the exact same performance as Vulkan.)
