Many people like their work laptops tiny and light and their gaming laptops screamingly fast and crammed with the latest technology. Sadly, the laws of physics conspire to keep us from getting both in a single device, but Asus gives it a shot with the combination of its ROG Flow X13, a 13-inch, 2.9-pound two-in-one laptop, and the XG Mobile, a compact external-GPU-plus-dock combo device. The power pairing of the new eight-core AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS processor in the laptop and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 mobile GPU in the external module combine to deliver a multifaceted, fast system that's imperfect, but still much more than the sum of its parts. 8.8 Asus ROG Flow X13 with XG Mobile $2,800 at Asus Like Clever way of combining a lightweight two-in-one with a performance gaming laptop Flow X13 has good performance and battery life by itself for its size Don't Like Not quite as plug-and-play with the XG Mobile as I'd … [Read more...] about Asus ROG Flow X13 with XG Mobile review: Almost the best of both worlds

A third of Antarctic ice shelves could collapse at current pace of warming
A third of Antarctica' s vast offshore ice shelves could collapse into the ocean if the world warms by 4 degrees Celsius (7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels. These floating platforms of solid water wouldn't directly raise sea levels if they melted; they already sit in the ocean. But they're important barriers preventing the immense bulk of the frozen continent's glaciers from rolling out to sea. If those inland glaciers reached open water, sea level could rise catastrophically. Of the 34% of ice shelves at risk of collapse by the end of the 21st century, many are concentrated in the Antarctic Peninsula — a region of West Antarctica that juts northward toward South America. The at-risk ice makes up two-thirds of the peninsula's ice shelf extent. In total, 190,000 square miles (500,000 square kilometers) of Antarctic ice would be at risk. That's a region much bigger than California. "Ice shelves are important buffers preventing glaciers on land from flowing … [Read more...] about A third of Antarctic ice shelves could collapse at current pace of warming
