The entry-level iPad 2020 might be almost as big as iPad Pros

Gone are the days when Apple's entry-level iPads were always 9.7 inches - after the iPad 10.2 in 2019 kicked off the size increase race, it seems this year's upcoming entry-level iPad might be even bigger still.

This news comes from Ming-Chi Kuo, a noted and rarely-wrong analyst who has speculated on Apple's upcoming tablets in an analyst note (as reported by MacRumors).

According to Kuo, Apple has a 10.8-inch tablet coming out in the second half of 2020, followed by an 8.5-inch device in the first half of 2021. This latter device is likely to be the new iPad Mini, given that size, but the former device is the really interesting model.

Kuo posits the 10.8-inch device could be a new entry-level iPad or the iPad Air 4, but we've previously heard that the iPad Air 4 will be at least 11 inches, making it seem likely that this 10.8-inch beast will be the 'standard' entry-level iPad.

Bigger = better?

That's quite a size increase for the entry-level iPads, given that the 2019 model was 10.2 inches across and the previous models were 9.7 inches, and some people who just want an affordable and easy-to-use and carry tablet might be put off.

In fact, the tablet would be comparable in size to the iPad Pro 11 or iPad Air 3, though in terms of specs and performance, and other design features, it would likely still be different from those Apple tablets.

The enlarging makes sense in some ways though, as Apple likely wants to differentiate this range from the iPad Mini line, and people who want a smaller screen can either buy that or stick with the older entry-level iPads.

For now, though, we can't even be sure this change is happening, because as with all pre-release information it could end up being wrong, and in addition we could find out that the tablet Kuo was referring to was in fact the next iPad Air all along.

Either way, we should find out later this year, as that's when this anticipated Apple tablet is rumored to launch, but before then stay tuned to TechRadar for all the latest news and rumors.

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
