New MacBooks with Apple chips could finally fix one of our biggest complaints in 2021

More MacBooks are coming which are powered by Apple’s own chips, and you can expect them to arrive in the second half of 2021 – and this time, they will be redesigned models, according to the rumor mill.

This info comes from one of the most solid Apple sources out there, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, via the usual research note which was obtained by MacRumors.

No mention was made of what particular revamped MacBook models would be launched in H2 2021, but as mentioned they will have a new design. Unlike the first Apple laptops sporting its own M1 chip, which stuck with the existing design for Intel-powered devices (much to our chagrin – this was the main sticking point when it came to the negative aspects in our reviews of the MacBook Pro (M1, 2020) and MacBook Air (M1, 2020).

Kuo has previously indicated that a new ‌MacBook Pro‌ 16-inch (potentially with a mini-LED display, and maybe a new Touch Bar) and a MacBook Pro 14-inch are the models which will pitch up in Q2 or Q3 of 2021, so presumably the latter is now the case.

Big SoC upgrade?

Nothing is mentioned about what SoC (system-on-a-chip) the purportedly incoming MacBooks might use, although other recent speculation promises major improvements from the supposed M1X chip which will follow the current M1 model. This M1X silicon will debut first on the MacBook Pro 16-inch, the rumor suggests, and it will up the ante to 12-cores (four of those being low-powered, high-efficiency cores to keep things ticking over when the muscly cores aren’t needed, to better extend battery life).

Of course, performance is one thing, but it’s software compatibility which remains a slight concern with Apple’s custom silicon, at least according to some reports online – although here at TechRadar, we haven’t experienced any such stumbling blocks ourselves.

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
