The next Acer Swift 7 will somehow be even thinner and smaller

The current Acer Swift 7 laptop, released just months ago, is already the world’s thinnest, but at its IFA 2018 keynote address in Berlin Germany Acer has teased a follow-up that will be both thinner and smaller.

Showed off on the keynote stage, this upcoming Acer Swift 7 will measure less than a centimeter (0.39 inches) thin and weigh less than one kilogram (2.2 pounds), according to Laptop.

The recently released 2018 model comes in at 0.89cm (0.35 inches) thin and weighs 1.18kg (2.6 pounds). The reduction in weight to under 1kg will likely come from even thinner screen bezels, which will be shrunk down to 4.27 millimeters, resulting in a 15% smaller laptop while maintaining the 14-inch screen size for a new, massive screen-to-body ratio of 92%.

However, considering that Acer had to remove the touchpad’s clicking function to make this year’s Swift 7 as thin as it is, we almost don’t want to know what else the firm is willing to shave off to maintain its claim to the ultra-thin throne.

Acer hasn’t yet given any information regarding the laptop’s price or availability, and considering how recently the 2018 Swift 7 has released, we likely won’t see this follow-up until 2019.

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
