So I'm looking at replacing my nearly 10 year old laptop I have, since it can't run Windows 11.

Anyways, I'm looking at getting a ASUS ROG Flow Z13 to replace it. The laptop will be used as a tertiary system, so it doesn't need to be bleeding edge tech wise, just be able to run fairly new games on it decently. My primary consideration is that it has to be light/smaller, since I'd be using it while I travel and most likely have it with my work laptop in the same bag.

The ROG Flow seems to check most of the boxes, but since its almost two years old, it is giving me some pause on buying it.

Is there anything else out there that is similar to the ROG Flow in the $1500 range that might be missing? Something with a 4050/70 with 15 inch or smaller screen might work.
 
You can usually force the installation of Win11, if that is your only reason to buy a new laptop.

As you say, don't buy a new laptop that is 2 years old at the full price. That's insanity.

Yeah I just saw that before you posted, I winded up going with an HP Victus instead-I got a Ryzen 7 and a RXT4070 for $400 cheaper then the ROG. I had concerns about Asus's build/QC and RMA process with their own built equipment. I've been using their motherboards for almost 30 years, but their recent issues have been giving me pause about supporting them.

If you need any assistance with technical support or have questions about your current service, you might want to reach out to the BT business contact number for guidance before making the switch.

Hello. I’m currently using a laptop with an i7 8750 2.2GHz, 32GB RAM, and GeForce GTX 1070, but it tends to freeze when handling larger 3D models. I work with SketchUp, Blender, and am starting to learn Rhino 7 & Grasshopper. My projects include furniture, woodwork, 3D STL models, and some larger architecture models with rendering via Vray, Eevee, or Cycles. I’ve been researching the best value CPU and GPU for my needs, ideally looking to build a system that can be upgraded in the future.
