MacBook Air 2018 to Come Right in Time For Christmas

A lot of rumors state that Apple might launch an inexpensive device the end of this year. Earlier this year we were not sure if this laptop will be a new member of the MacBook Pro series, the MacBook lineup or it will be the replacement of the MacBook Air 2018.

All the leaks mentioned for the MacBook Air 2018 have been confirmed by a recent report, according to MacRumors. Quanta, the Taiwanese-based manufacturer, will make some new low-cost notebooks possibly for Apple.

Both Compal and Quanta are expected to ship as much as 10 million units for Apple and HP.

What will the new notebook be like?

Bloomberg News reporter Mark Gurman speculates that this new notebook will be a MacBook Air model measuring 13 inches at the possible cost of $999 or maybe less in the United States.

The current MacBook Air has a very similar prize to this new model. The new model might be another addition to the MacBook lineup. The current models which measure 12 inches come with the price of $1299.

Some other rumors

This September the tech giant Apple will also unveil a trio of iPhones the iPhone 9, iPhone 11 and iPhone X Plus, but the computing products might be reserved for October.

In October the company will introduce an iPad Pro with the new Face ID technology, a new Apple Pencil, and also the new MacBook.

The Mac lineup will be quietly launched with a lack of a media event, almost in the same way in which the new MacBook Pro laptops that got an eighth-generation processor from Intel.

Get ready for a new MacBook Pro, and maybe Santa will bring one to you if you are on the nice.

Surface Pro Software Update will be Released to fix Its Pen Problems

If you are a Surface Pro user then maybe you can relate to the that Microsoft’s surface pen has. Needless to say, the cause is not known yet, but Microsoft does not let you down.

The company has been working on a software fix in order to solve the inaccuracy of the Surface Pro’s stylus which is known by the name of Surface Pen. The problem focuses on the fact that users have been facing with the digital pen because it does not work when you rest your hand on the screen while using it.

Why is this solution the best?

A report from The Verge said late on Tuesday “Microsoft has been investigating a fix, and the latest Surface Pro firmware update, available on Windows Update now addresses problems with ‘palm rejection affecting Surface Pen accuracy.'”

This news came as a relief to the Surface Pro owners because the solution did not include the replacements of the units. To solve the inaccuracy of the Surface Pet Microsoft only needed to make a software fix avoiding both waste of money, time and other resources.

In addition to this, “Affected users have confirmed pen strokes are now fully accurate when resting a hand on the Surface Pro screen.”

More detailed information

After Microsoft has claimed its Surface Pen to be the fastest digital stylus available at the moment on the market, Apple fired back with its new Apple Pencil which is said to be even faster than Microsoft’s stylus.

The issues faced by Surface Pro users gave the company the opportunity to modify the digital pen’s software in a way in which it can beat Apple’s stylus.

Microsoft has also come with one more solution. Users whose Surface Pro 4s have a screen that flicker have the warranty to have it replaced in the company’s warranty replacement programme.

A Tracking Feature from Google you didn’t know about – How to turn it off

You might have heard by now about a feature that keeps records of all your physical movements, which you can easily turn off if you don’t want for this kind of data to be stored by Google. However, there is another little-known feature through which the company is tracking users’ activity. The Associated Press announced on Monday that Google is keeping records of the movements of users in an entirely different way, which is not very obvious to people. This different process works even when we turn Google Timeline off.

What does this mean?

According to Ryan Nakaskima, who is an AP technology reporter, even if you pause your Location History, there seem to be certain Google apps that will still unavoidably keep data about your location without asking for permission. As far as Google is concerned, they stated that all users should already know about this feature. In a statement, the company told AP that they do offer information about these tools and people have the option to turn them on or off whenever they want. Users can also delete the history anytime they want.

What can we do on our part?

We all know that the locations of users are precious to advertisers, as they are offering adds to people depending on their interests and location. With this in mind, we have to be aware of the fact that we might never be able to completely get rid of all the features that are slowly tracking our daily lives behind the scenes. However, this is what you can do at least for the moment, if you want to temporarily turn off this feature: you have to go to Activity Controls and then move the slider to the left. After that, all you need to do is to click Pause and you’re done.
