Key Pixel Tablet specs may have been revealed through hidden Android code

We know that the Google Pixel Tablet is real and on the way – but we don't know too much else about it as yet. Now some of the slate's key specs may have been revealed through code added under the hood to Android by Google engineers.

As spotted by developer Kuba Wojciechowski (via XDA Developers), it looks likely that the Pixel tablet is going to come running the first-generation Tensor chipset that also powers the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The upcoming Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro phones are going to be running the second-generation Tensor chip.

Other changes made to the code suggest we're looking at 4GB of RAM, and front and back cameras that match up with the selfie camera on the Pixel 6 – so nothing too spectacular in terms of the quality of the photos you're going to be able to snap.

Stick to the Wi-Fi

According to Wojciechowski, it doesn't look likely that there will be any support for GPS or cellular connectivity on the Pixel Tablet – so you're going to have to stick to using Wi-Fi if you want to get online with this particular slate.

The code digging has also confirmed that the tablet is going to double as a Google Nest Hub if you need it to, giving you control over your smart home and access to a bunch of Google services. Google Assistant will of course be front and center, as you would expect.

Put all of these clues together and it would seem that we're looking at a low-cost, family friendly tablet that's perfect for browsing the web, catching up on social media, and watching videos – an iPad Pro it very much isn't. based on this information.

Analysis: we need another Nexus 7

At first glance, these might seem like disappointing specs for the Pixel Tablet: an older processor, not much in the way of RAM, and no cellular connection option to stay connected on the go when a Wi-Fi connection isn't available.

However, when it comes to tablets, sometimes it's best to stick to the basics – especially if that means the price is lower. A lot of people don't require their tablet to be a productivity powerhouse, they just want to be able to check emails and consume content.

See also the Google Nexus 7 – it's almost a decade since the last version of that tablet launched, but it was a brilliant combination of specs that were good enough for most needs and a price that just about everybody could afford.

Amazon has had plenty of success with its Fire tablets, which are also affordable tablets that do the simple stuff well. We'll know for sure what the Google Pixel Tablet has to offer when it's launched, which will be sometime in 2023.

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...
