Getting a new 15-inch MacBook Air after WWDC will be much easier this time around

As rumors continue to swirl that Apple will finally announce the oft-rumored 15-inch MacBook Air during WWDC23 a new report adds further fuel to that fire.

That report claims that Apple's suppliers are getting their ducks in a row ahead of the unveiling, making sure that they have enough laptops on hand should sales figures prove positive.

How many laptops? "Stockpiling" is the word being thrown around, suggesting there are plenty of 15-inch MacBook Airs on hand. As well there should be — this is already shaping up to be the best Mac for a whole ton of people thanks to its large screen, M2 performance, and what is sure to be impressive battery life.

Great expectations

This is all according to trade publication DigiTimes whose paywalled report was first picked up by MacRumors.

If Apple's suppliers really are stockpiling laptops it could mean that picking one up won't be all that difficult. The report suggests that Apple itself isn't expecting to sell a huge number of 15-inch models initially, citing unnamed industry sources.

That's perhaps a surprise, however. The 13-inch MacBook Air is already an excellent laptop thanks to its super-fast M2 chip and gorgeous display. But the 15-inch version will take things up a notch, giving buyers the larger display that they would normally have to buy a 16-inch MacBook Pro to get. While not quite as big, the 15-inch MacBook Air is extremely likely to cost a lot less as well.

Despite previous rumors that the 15-inch MacBook Air would be the first to sport Apple's next-generation M3 silicon, that now doesn't appear to be the case after all. Instead, the M2 is expected to get another outing with analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of the belief that versions with differing core counts will be offered.

The 15-inch MacBook Air won't have WWDC all to itself. The rumored Reality Pro AR/VR headset is also expected to be shown for the first time, making the event's June 5 opening keynote a must-watch for many.

The headset is expected to be a costly affair with prices upwards of $3,000 already mentioned. It isn't likely to ship for months after the announcement anyway, allowing developers time to get their apps ready for sales to begin later this year if the rumors are true.

As for the 15-inch MacBook Air, that's likely to go on sale shortly after the event.

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
