Our Verdict
ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (2025) GZ302
Microsoft Surface Pro 11th Edition (2024)
The Microsoft Surface Pro 11th Edition (2024) and the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (2025) GZ302 are both 2-in-1 tablet PCs. However, they're quite different, as the Surface Pro is a general productivity device, while the Flow Z13 is a gaming-focused laptop with a lot more processing power and a faster high-refresh display. In terms of the user experience, the Surface Pro comes out ahead because it has a better keyboard, touchpad, speakers, and webcam. Its 3:2 aspect ratio is also better suited for tablet use in portrait mode, as the increased horizontal space makes it feel less cramped. The Surface Pro can handle some demanding tasks, such as graphic design and programming. However, keep in mind that it runs on an ARM-based processor, so ensure you check for app compatibility first.
