The ROG Flow Z13-KJP is now available for pre-order in UAE starting at Dhs 14,999 — making it one of the priciest gaming tablets you can buy locally. According to ASUS Republic of Gamers' announcement, this limited-edition collaboration with Kojima Productions combines AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 performance with Yoji Shinkawa's distinctive Ludens-inspired design, launching February 2026.
What makes the ROG Flow Z13-KJP a limited edition?
Beyond the premium pricing, you're paying for genuine exclusivity. The Flow Z13-KJP features artwork by legendary designer Yoji Shinkawa, the visual architect behind Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding. The chassis incorporates angular Ludens-inspired detailing with premium materials that make this feel more like a collectible than a typical gaming device.
Each unit includes custom KJP carrying case, premium packaging, an exclusive Armoury Crate theme, and a Death Stranding 2: On the Beach PC game code. For fans of Kojima Productions, these extras justify the premium — though casual buyers might question the value.
The collaboration builds on ROG's Kojima partnership announced earlier this year, extending beyond peripherals into full gaming systems.

AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395: Worth the performance claims?
The Flow Z13-KJP runs on AMD's latest Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor with 16 cores, 32 threads, and up to 5.1GHz boost clocks. More importantly for future-proofing, it includes an NPU capable of 50 TOPS AI performance — putting it ahead of most current laptops for local AI workloads.
The unified memory architecture with 128GB LPDDR5X dynamically allocates resources between CPU and GPU tasks. This matters more than you'd expect — when gaming, more memory goes to graphics processing, but switch to content creation and it reallocates for productivity workloads.
Radeon 8060S Graphics handles the visual heavy lifting. While not discrete GPU territory, it's respectable for a tablet form factor and should manage modern games at medium settings.

Can a 13.4-inch tablet really replace a gaming laptop?
The 2.5K 180Hz ROG Nebula display impresses on paper — 500 nits brightness, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, and Pantone validation suggest serious colour accuracy. The 180Hz refresh rate puts it ahead of most gaming laptops, though you'll need the processing power to drive those frame rates.
ROG's 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans and vapour chamber cooling system address the obvious thermal concerns. In a tablet this thin (14.56mm), heat management becomes critical — especially under sustained gaming loads.
The detachable design offers flexibility, but practicality depends on your use case. Touch gaming works for some titles, but you'll want the included keyboard for serious productivity or the XG Mobile dock for desktop-class graphics performance.
