Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst at TF International Securities who specializes in gathering info about Apple, recently stated that Apple is working on a more affordable MacBook Air to be released in 2022. The recent release of the MacBook Air featuring the powerful M1 processor is currently blowing the competition away with its breathtaking performance and battery life. The only thing the MacBook Air lacks is that affordable price point you can easily find in just about every PC maker’s lineup....

The as-yet-unnamed Zotac graphics amp can accommodate graphics cards that are up to 9 inches long, which is enough space to fit in one of the company’s new mini GTX 1080 or 1080 Ti GPUs, but it doesn’t leave room for a lot of longer cards. In addition to a Thunderbolt 3 port for connecting to your computer, the device has a plethora of output ports, including multiple USB Type-A connectors and DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort out....

From honest mistakes to cynical attempts to sound on trend with what the cool kids are talking about, practically every brand managed to force the turn of phrase into their promotional efforts. So let’s take a closer look at the worst offenders, and help them out with an actual definition. What is a Metaverse?

But our friends at ZDNet hired someone to try to crack it, and he succeeded in just three hours. Their hacker, Matthew Hickey, security researcher and co-founder of cybersecurity firm Hacker House, exploited Microsoft Word macros to run a DLL injection attack. Because macros aren’t run by default on documents downloaded from the web, he used a source Windows 10 S trusts: the local network. At that point, he was able to run a program to gain system-level privileges (the highest level of access) and also run processes from the system level....

Based on the report, Apple will use ceramic 5G antennas that could provide 2x faster wireless speeds and a more reliable connection than metal antennas. But ceramic doesn’t come cheap, and at six times the price of a traditional metal antenna, the component would add a hefty premium on top of the MacBook’s already exorbitant price. It wouldn’t be unlike Apple to use a different material than its competitors if it meant improving performance and reliability....

Then again, the XPS 15 has a couple of quirks that may make some think twice. So is it right for you? Here’s a look at the XPS 15’s pros and cons.

There are similarities between the sets of keyboard shortcuts that PCs and Macs have, but you’ll need to learn them sooner or later for maximum efficiency. For example: cut, copy and paste still have shortcuts that use X, C and Y, but you’ll need to switch out the Command button for the Control button on a PC.

Chromebook C933T design and ports At 12.8 x 9.1 x 0.8 inches, the C933T is rather large for a 14-inch Chromebook. Still, the C933T easily slipped into a student’s backpack and only weighs 3 pounds, making it a few ounces heavier than the Asus Chromebook C423NA and significantly lighter than the HP Chromebook x360 14C. The chassis is made from a fingerprint-resistant black plastic. Or you can get the similar CB314 model in silver....

There is substantial precedent for why Chromebook users should be excited about this launch. For one, we reviewed a version of the Chromebook Spin 514 earlier this year and gave it a lukewarm recommendation. We praised its performance, ports, design and keyboard while criticizing the poor display, lack of Wi-Fi 6 and sluggish storage. Best laptops under $1,000What is a Chromebook?

Design Slim, pretty and navy, the Swift 5 is most certainly a head turner. I’m a big fan of the golden highlights from the logo and hinge. It’s susceptible to fingerprint smudges, so be sure to have a rag handy. Made from aluminum, magnesium and lithium, the Swift 5 weighs in at a barely-there 2.2 pounds. It’s lighter than other 14-inchers on the market including the 2.6-pound Asus ZenBook 14 UX433 and the 2....
