Chromebooks are now better for budding creatives with support for Wacom tablets

Chromebooks have just got support for a pen tablet from Wacom, which will definitely make these laptops a more enticing proposition for budding creative types and the education arena in general.

The One by Wacom is the tablet in question, and it now has an official ‘Works With Chromebook’ certification. That means that anyone with a Chromebook can engage in digital scribbling, even if they don’t have a fancier touchscreen-equipped model.

In terms of lessons, it will allow both students and teachers to draw or produce diagrams, or indeed written notes, of course.

The One tablet connects via a simple USB-A cable, with users only needing to ensure that they have a free port and that they’re running the latest version of Chrome OS. You simply plug in the tablet and go, there’s no need for any driver or software installation.

Furthermore, the pen is nice and light, feels natural (like writing on paper, apparently) and doesn’t require a battery.

Wacom boasts: “The responsive, ergonomic, pressure-sensitive pen gives users a natural way to write, sketch, draw or edit content on the Wacom pen tablet connected to the Chromebook.”

Wacom library

The company further notes that it’s building a “library of content consolidating all information on Wacom for Education with Chromebook” to help teachers, along with a ‘Teachers for Teachers’ support network.

The One by Wacom is compatible with Windows and macOS devices, as well, and is available in two sizes. The small version costs £35.99 ($69.95 in the US) and the medium-sized tablet retails at a recommended price of £49.99 (this model isn’t currently listed for sale in the US by Wacom).

Wacom says that it is working on bringing additional devices to Chromebooks, including more pen tablets, so presumably that refers to its Intuos range.

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
