The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a Windows 11 tablet with a 13.4 inch display, a detachable backlit keyboard, and a 12th-gen Intel Core processor. But what this tablet unlike most is that’s it’s designed for gaming.

That Intel Alder Lake processor? It’s a 45-watt chip with up to 14 cores and 20 threads, and the notebook is also available with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti discrete GPU. You can also hook it up to an external GPU if you want even more graphics horsepower when gaming at home. First announced in January, the Asus ROG Flow Z13 is now available in the US for $1700 and up.

Newegg has the lowest price I’ve seen, with $1700 getting you a model with an Intel Core i7-12700H processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage and a 1080p display with a 120 Hz refresh rate.

Office Depot is showing an $1800 price for a model with similar specs, but a higher-performance Core i9-12900H processor, but it’s currently out of stock. And Best Buy is selling a Core i9 model with 1TB of storage, and RTX 3050 Ti graphics for $1900.

Here’s a run-down of the gaming tablet’s key specs:

Are microbes the future of recycling? It’s complicated

Questions linger as enzyme-based recycling technology is poised to go commercial.

Are microbes the future of recycling? It’s complicated

Since the first factories began manufacturing polyester from petroleum in the 1950s, humans have produced an estimated 9.1 billion tons of plastic. Of the waste generated from that plastic, less than a tenth of that has been recycled, researchers estimate. About 12 percent has been incinerated, releasing dioxins and other carcinogens into the air. Most of the rest, a mass equivalent to about 35 million blue whales, has accumulated in landfills and in the natural environment. Plastic inhabits the oceans, building up in the guts of seagulls and great white sharks. It rains down, in tiny flecks, on cities and national parks. According to some research, from production to disposal, it is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than the aviation industry.

This pollution problem is made worse, experts say, by the fact that even the small share of plastic that does get recycled is destined to end up, sooner or later, in the trash heap. Conventional, thermomechanical recycling—in which old containers are ground into flakes, washed, melted down, and then reformed into new products—inevitably yields products that are more brittle, and less durable, than the starting material. At best, material from a plastic bottle might be recycled this way about three times before it becomes unusable. More likely, it will be “downcycled” into lower value materials like clothing and carpeting—materials that will eventually be disposed of in landfills.

“Thermomechanical recycling is not recycling,” said Alain Marty, chief science officer at Carbios, a French company that is developing alternatives to conventional recycling.
