The Lenovo Yoga C630 WOS lasts over 25 hours on battery, thanks to Snapdragon 850

The first laptop to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 chipset, Lenovo’s Yoga C630 WOS, has made an appearance during IFA 2018, and it looks like it can achieve over a whole day of battery life.

Qualcomm is best known for making processors for smartphones and tablets, but in recent years has been applying its technology to Windows 10 laptops. Because of the power-efficient nature of Qualcomm’s chips, Snapdragon-powered laptops, like the HP Envy x2 which runs on the older Snapdragon 835 platform, are capable of incredibly long battery life.

The Lenovo Yoga C630 WOS looks set to blow past previous records by being able to run for more than 25 hours off a single charge. For people who need to use their laptops throughout the day without easy access to a power source, this will be exciting news.

Improved experience

While Snapdragon-based laptops have plenty of potential, the first wave of devices (like the aforementioned HP Envy x2) disappointed us with high prices and poor performance. However, Qualcomm was keen to highlight how its new Snapdragon 850 platform will address many of those concerns.

According to Qualcomm, Snapdragon 850 brings 30% higher CPU performance and a 30% increase in graphics performance. The new chipset has an X20 LTE modem for cellular data access, which we’ve been promised will allow you to download a 50MB file in just 10 seconds. The Lenovo Yoga C630 WOS is expected to benefit from all of these improvements.

Features

As with other Windows 10 on Snapdragon devices, the Lenovo Yoga C630 WOS has an always-on LTE connection (as long as you have a SIM card and subscription), so you can securely connect to the internet away from Wi-Fi hotspots – and updates, emails and more will always be available.

The Lenovo Yoga C630 will also benefit from extremely fast bootup times – similar to how instantly your smartphone or tablet wakes up.

It also comes with a 13.3-inch 1080p display, and as with other Yoga devices, the screen can be flipped to be used as a tablet-like device.

It comes with two USB-C ports, audio jack and SIM card holder.

The Lenovo Yoga C630 will go on sale in September for €999 ($849, around £900, AU$1,500). So, that means the high price for these Snapdragon laptops remains. We look to get our hands on one soon to see if it offers a drastic improvement over previous generations to justify the high cost.

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore points  in the System Volume

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i
