Amazon's six new cheap tablets include the company's best slate yet

Amazon has plenty of cheap tablets in its Fire range, and the ranks have just grown, as a whopping six new slates have just been announced.

The new Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) and Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Edition (2021) are upgraded versions of the 2019 models of both slates - they're also joined by a new Fire HD 10 Plus. 

The Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus in 2020 was the first 'Plus'-style tablet from the company, with a few improvements on the contemporary Fire HD 8, and now it seems the Fire HD 10 line is following suit.

Joining those three new tablets is a brand-new line of kids-focused tablets called the Fire Kids Pro line (does Amazon know 'Pro' is short for professional? Something kids tend not to be?). There's a Fire 7, Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 model of the Kids Pro device, and they're aimed at older kids than the Kids Edition range - while those devices are for 3-7-year-olds, the Kids Pro devices are for 6-12-year-olds.

That different age window means the huge protective case on the Kids Edition tablets isn't here, and while there's still a rubber shell it's quite a bit smaller. Also, the list of compatible apps is longer, covering everything a 12-year-old would be allowed to use.

The new Fire HD 10 range

Unless you're a child (or have one) the star of this announcement is the Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus, as it's now technically the most advanced slate from the company.

This tablet has a 10.1-inch screen and smaller bezels than its predecessor. It charges wirelessly, has 4GB of RAM and boasts a 12-hour battery life. Thanks to the wireless powering, you can put the slate on a compatible stand which turns it into an Alexa-enabled smart home hub.

The Fire HD 10 (non-Plus) doesn't support wireless charging, and has 3GB of RAM, so it's a little less powerful. That's still 1GB more than its predecessor, though.

None of the six new tablets are on sale just yet, and while we've got prices for them, it's only in US dollars - only Amazon US has entries for the slates so far. We'll list prices below, along with Australian dollar and pound sterling conversions, so you can get a rough idea as to how much they could cost.

When these devices go on sale, we'll test them out to see if they're worth your money or not. With Amazon Prime Day hopefully coming up soon, these new devices could get some discounts before too long.

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 ...

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...
