Google could already be working on a Pixel Tablet Pro

Google has already told us that it's working on a Pixel Tablet, with a full unveiling expected sometime in 2023, but it appears that there's also an as-yet-unannounced Pro version of the slate coming down the line as well.

Some digging into the latest Android 13 code by 9to5Google has revealed evidence of a tablet with the codename "tangorpro". Given that the standard Pixel Tablet has the codename "tangor" in Android's code, you can see the obvious connection.

The only other tidbit of information revealed here is that the Pixel Tablet Pro looks to be using a different rear camera sensor to the standard tablet – and you would expect camera upgrades to be one of the ways the two models are different.

What we know and don't know

While the existence of the Pixel Tablet is official, not much else about it is. We know what it's going to look like, and that it'll be running the same Tensor chipset that's in the Google Pixel 6 phones, but beyond that we're relying on leaks and rumors.

It does appear that the slate is going to come with some form of stylus support – although that doesn't mean one will be included. Meanwhile, Android code edits suggest that we're looking at an affordable tablet with a modest set of specifications.

If that does turn out to be the case, then it would make sense for Google to be working on a higher-end, premium model as well – something that offers better performance for on-the-go productivity, as we've seen from Apple with the iPad Pro.

Analysis: Google's hardware expansion continues

Google's line of hardware is now rapidly expanding as it looks to go head-to-head against Apple in just about every product category. Next month we're expecting to see the debut of the Google Pixel Watch, alongside the full unveiling of the Google Pixel 7 phones.

Add in one or more tablets, and Google really is making sure every product category is covered. In case you've forgotten, it also makes smart speakers and smart displays, and has its own range of mesh networking devices too.

We also have wireless earbuds from Google, and security cameras, and laptops – although Google's last Chromebook was the Pixelbook Go launched in 2019. If you need devices with Google branding, then you're spoilt for choice.

The Pixel smartphone series feels at the center of this continuing expansion, with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro solid flagship models that other devices like tablets and smartwatches can be built around. We'll have to wait and see whether the Pixel Tablet and the Pixel Tablet Pro manage to attract the same kind of interest from consumers.

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...
