MacBook Air 2022 could arrive in May with Apple’s biggest redesign in a decade

Apple’s MacBook Air 2022 revamp has already been rumored to be arriving mid-2022, and now a heavyweight Apple leaker has underlined this, stating that it could be out in about six to eight months.

This is the latest from Mark Gurman’s newsletter, as highlighted by MacRumors, in which he asserts that he expects the launch to take place in said timeframe, meaning that the MacBook Air 2022 could arrive as soon as next May.

Gurman also notes that there will not be another Apple event this year, or any further new products for 2021, so the leaker is seemingly letting us know that there won’t be any November launches.

The next MacBook Air is expected to be built around the M2 SoC and will have a completely fresh design – in fact, it’ll be the most major revamp of the Air since 2010, Gurman believes. In theory, it’ll take cues from the new iMac 24-inch, meaning off-white bezels and multiple striking color choices, as we’ve already gathered from the rumor mill.

In fact, this is exactly what we heard from another leaker, Dylandkt, very recently, who reckons that an off-white color keyboard and bezels are coming, and a new Mini-LED screen (as seen on the freshly unveiled MacBook Pros).

Speaking of which, new renders (well, actually updated versions of images shared a while back) of what the MacBook Air 2022 could look like have been put together based on Dylandkt’s leakage. These come from Jon Prosser and Ian Zelbo (which Tom’s Guide spotted), and show the laptop mocked-up with thin white bezels, and a notch for the webcam – although Dylandkt did make it clear that they couldn’t confirm whether the notch would be present, or not.

They also show the keyboard with a white deck, and the Air having the rumored MagSafe charging port.

Additionally, in his newsletter Gurman said that next year we can expect a larger iMac with an Apple SoC, and a new Mac mini (the rumor mill previously believed that the latter would be arriving this year).

Analysis: To notch, or not to notch? That is the question…

We need to take the renders for what they are – simply mock-ups of what the MacBook Air 2022 could look like, if these current rumors pan out – but the idea of the off-white bezel (and keyboard) is already proving seriously divisive. And if it’s accompanied by a notch (as seen on the new MacBook Pro models), then that’s likely to really stir up the controversy pot around the laptop’s appearance; the white rather than black bezel certainly highlights the notch further.

However, as we noted above, speculating about the notch seems to be jumping the gun, seeing as Dylandkt was pretty clear about being unsure on whether the notch will happen with the Air (what won’t happen, apparently, is the ProMotion tech seen on the new MacBook Pros which allows for faster refresh rates with the Mini-LED display).

Regarding the possible release timeframe, Dylandkt also believes that the next MacBook Air will arrive mid-2022, so that would mean June or July roughly, which falls pretty much in line with Gurman’s prediction – although the latter seems slightly more optimistic with that suggestion of a May release.

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...
