Three new M2-powered Macs could make an appearance at Apple's March event

Three new Mac SKUs have been registered in the Eurasian Economic Database ahead of a rumored 'Spring' event, adding additional weight to existing rumors that the next generation of Apple silicon will be launched in the coming weeks – potentially at an event on or around March 8.

The filing was spotted by Consomac, which notes that the registration doesn't give us much information about the products, though a few speculations can be made. The numbers being registered are A2615, A2686 and A2681 respectively, with the latter being described as a laptop. 

We don't have any official confirmation that these new devices will be powered by the anticipated M2 chipset, but all of the M1-powered devices have been registered with numbers starting with A24. As these new Macs break the trend, it's likely we will at least see some new variation of the existing M1 even if the M2 silicon isn't introduced.

Consomac also suggests that the other two models could be desktop computers, though we have no way of knowing if these will be a Mac Pro, Mac Mini or iMac. This does back up previous rumors that Apple was gearing up to launch some new Mac products in a March event, as well as claims that a larger 27-inch iMac was planned for release to replace the discontinued iMac Pro.

As with all rumors, don't take any of this as gospel until an official statement is made or we actually see the products paraded around at launch. Apple does occasionally register its product many months ahead of their planned release, so while this is promising news that new Macs are in development, we might not see them launch in the coming weeks. Currently, no Apple Spring event has been officially announced, so it's best to stay cautious to avoid disappointment.

Analysis: lets lay the Touch Bar down to rest

The laptop registered is anticipated to be an entry-level MacBook Pro that will replace the current M1-powered 13-inch model, which remains the only MacBook Pro to still feature the controversial Touch Bar, as well as lacking any of the ports that were reintroduced with the release of the 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro. 

Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman anticipates that this will new MacBook Pro will be similarly stripped down, and likely won't have the same Mini LED ProMotion display. Additional speculation from DigiTimes claims that "except for the processor, most other components used in the new MacBook Pro reportedly will feature almost the same specs as those for the existing model featuring M1 chips", though Gurman believes that the Touch Bar will be removed at the very least.

It was always a controversial feature, but if this is the model that finally does away with it, then your only chance to buy a MacBook that still uses one will be the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020), provided that it isn't discontinued when this new model appears on the scene. Like it or not, that spells the end of an era for Apple, though admittedly one that many of us will be happy to see the back of.

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
