For a while, there have been rumors that Apple could be looking to explore a new laptop size in the form of a 16-inch MacBook Pro. More recently, it seems that those rumors could be true as images found in the macOS Catalina beta have revealed a potentially new laptop in the works, and now a report from DigiTimes claims that we might be able to expect the laptop by […]
It has been rumored for a while that Apple could be working on a new 16-inch MacBook Pro. Whether or not that is true remains to be seen, but it’s starting to look like it could. This is according to French Apple website, MacGeneration, where they have uncovered images in the macOS Catalina 10.15.1 beta that hints at the laptop.
With the new updates to Apple’s macOS operating system, the company introduced a new feature called Sidecar. In case you’re unfamiliar, this is a new native feature that allows macOS users to use their iPads as a secondary display, so if you needed a second display in a pinch, this feature will let you do just that.
Last year, it was reported that Adobe would be creating a “real” and full version of Photoshop designed for Apple’s iPad. The app was supposed to be launched this year, but given that we’re almost at the end of the year and the app is nowhere in sight, it’s safe to say that our confidence is not particularly high.
In addition to announcing the Pixel 4 smartphones, Google’s event also saw the company announce a new Pixelbook laptop in the form of the Pixelbook Go, whose photos were actually leaked a few days ahead of the event. If the Pixelbook was a laptop you’ve had your eye on but felt it was a bit out of your price range, then Google might have your back with this model.
While Apple might have done a great job with iOS 12’s release where it was considerably less buggy compared to iOS 11, it seems that Apple is slipping up again with iOS 13, where many users have complained about the numerous bugs and issues that are plaguing their devices, which is admittedly rather disappointing.
Let’s face it, the built-in keyboards on laptops aren’t exactly fun to type on. Some might be nicer than others, but for the most part, they just don’t feel quite as good as standalone keyboards. However, we have seen some laptop makers try to improve on that by introducing mechanical keyboards in laptops.
Last year, Google released their Titan security keys. For those who are unfamiliar, these Titan security keys are plugged into devices like our smartphones and computers. It acts as a physical way of authenticating users when trying to log into websites and services, adding an extra layer of security over the traditional password system.
Ransomware, for those unfamiliar, is where your computer’s files get encrypted by someone else and to decrypt them, you’ll need to pay the hackers a ransom to get the decryption keys. A ransomware hack that seems to be making its rounds is the Muhstik Ransomware, in which the hackers typically demand a payment in Bitcoin, worth around $700, to get your files back.
While it might be tempting to download and use a software in beta because you’re too excited and can’t wait to see what kind of new features it might bring to the table, there is a reason why it is in beta, because there are bugs and issues that haven’t been fully flushed out yet. In fact, that’s what some iPad Pro users are finding out for themselves, unfortunately.
If you’re using iTunes on your Windows PC, then you might want to update to the latest version ASAP. This is because according to recent findings by security firm Morphisec, it seems that they have discovered a zero-day vulnerability in iTunes for Windows which if exploited, would have allowed an attacker to install ransomware on your PC through the software.
Earlier this year, Apple announced that they would be launching a new Mac Pro computer. The new Mac Pro, unlike the “trash can” design, was created to allow for greater flexibility when it came to upgrading components, but it also featured a somewhat controversial “cheese grater” design, along with a heart-stopping price tag of $6,000 (assuming you don’t fully upgrade it).
Google will be hosting an event next week on the 15th of October where it is expected that the company will be launching their new Pixel smartphones. However, in addition to new smartphones, it has been speculated that Google could also be planning on launching new laptops as well, one of which is the Pixelbook Go.
