Note that Smart Folders don’t actually store the files that match your search rules in a separate folder; your files remain where you originally saved them.

You could also use the keyboard shortcut Command+Option+N. Enter your main criteria in the search field and hit Enter....

As one of the more interesting and off-the-wall shows in years, Atlanta became one of the few comedies not willing to rest on its laurels and play it safe — and never being afraid to reinvent its format for the sake of good storytelling. Atlanta is a comedic fever dream that explores heavy topics like race and identity — before making you laugh at the prospect of an invisible car....

“We absolutely take privacy super seriously,” said HP VP of Customer Experience Mike Nash. All HP laptops recently received an update which installs HP Touchpoint Analytics, a utility which runs in the background and collects system data.

A program with a different name but same function has been shipping on HP laptops as part of the Support Assistant software without controversy since 2014, he said....

The former is your standard Surface-esque take on Google’s Chromebook, which comes in four different finishes. The latter is a rather interesting desktop system with a 21.5-inch FHD touch display that can rotate to landscape or portrait mode. Best Chromebook in 2021Best cheap Chromebook deals in 2021What is a Chromebook and should you buy one? I’m sure before this past year that no one believed a Chrome OS-based desktop would be announced, but 2020 came along and brought the COVID-19 pandemic with it....

I’ve been using this 27-inch monitor for the past month and have very few criticisms about how it has handled multiple workflows, gaming and even streaming. The picture is colorful and bright with excellent white balance, it has a sleek design with thin bezels, there are tons of ports, and a clever pop-up webcam means you can stop using the awful one built into your laptop. It isn’t a perfect monitor by any means....

Focusing on enthusiast and esport market, the 17-inch Omen X is jam-packed with some seriously powerful specs, starting with its overclocked 7th-generation processor with up to 32GB of RAM. And instead of limiting the laptop to Nvidia’s lower-end graphics cards, the Omen X is outfitted with an overclockable GeForce GTX 1080 GPU. Storage-wise, you’ll have several choices including a single 1TB 7,200-rpm hard drive, a 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD, a 1TB PCIe SSDs with a 1TB HDD, or and a pair of 1TB PCIe NVMe SSDs in SLI configuration with a 1TB 7,200-rpm hard drive for good measure....

Other highlights include a bright, vivid display and the Spectre x360’s epic, 13-plus hours of battery life. Factor in a comfortable keyboard, fast performance and an included stylus, and it’s easy to see why the Spectre x360 is one of the best 2-in-1 laptops ever and one of the laptops with best battery life.

Among those is a 3:2 aspect ratio display surrounded by minimal bezels for a screen-to-body ratio of 90%. By reducing the bezels, HP was able to fit a 13.5-inch display in a footprint that’s not much larger than other 13-inch laptops on the market today. Best of all, the Spectre x360 14 takes design cues from the stunning 13-inch and 15-inch models, flaunting diamond-cut edges and chamfered corners. Combine good looks in a compact chassis with an optional OLED display and 11th Gen Intel Core CPUs, and the Spectre x360 14 could be the 2-in-1 laptop to beat....

The new chip will combine an Intel CPU with AMD graphics in an effort to produce slim laptops capable of running intensive video games – two factors that sell laptops in a very competitive market. Intel and AMD haven’t cooperated for decades, and AMD has spent the last several years struggling to catch up to what is largely considered Intel’s superior processor technology....

The best Apple deals for April 2021New iPad Pro may use Apple’s A14x Bionic chipBest MacBook in 2021: Which Apple laptop is best? The reported shortage of chips means MacBook laptops can’t mount components on printed circuit boards before final assembly. As for the iPad, the display shortages could be referring to the upcoming iPad Pro’s new mini LED display panel. While the report doesn’t specifically state which MacBook and iPad models the component shortages could impact, there’s reason to believe the tech giant’s new products could launch in limited supply — something many PS5 and Xbox Series X non-owners are very familiar with....

After testing the MacBook Air M2 and latest 13-inch MacBook Pro, we already know the type of power the M2 chip will bring to the new iPad Pro. The cycle repeats itself, but this time I’m not questioning whether Apple made a deal with some devil to deliver another powerful iPad; I’m wondering whether it’s needed in the first place. A matter of software I count my iPad Air (2020) as an essential tool in my daily activities....
