But is the new MacBook Air, which launches on Nov. 7, enough of an upgrade? Read on for a roundup of reviews from pundits who have some good — and bad — things to say about Apple’s new MacBook Air: Laptop Mag Our very own Henry T. Casey took the MacBook Air for a spin recently. And in his review for Laptop Mag, Henry was impressed with the MacBook Air’s Retina display and nice design, but wanted far more power and a better starting price for the value....

Apple has completely revamped the MacBook Air, making it thinner and lighter while giving it what it always deserved: a Retina display. As such, it’s finally poised to take on one of our favorite ultraportables, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 2.

But the real star of the show is the new M1 Pro chip. The middle child in Apple’s proprietary line of chips, it has more than enough power to outperform some of the most powerful Intel and AMD-powered laptops. And with Apple’s commitment to both power and efficiency, the notebook powers through the most grueling tasks with barely a whisper from the fans. The laptop is practically perfect. Which MacBook is right for you?...

Spoiler alert: they’re not very different. While this third-generation keyboard offers the same butterfly mechanism as before, Apple worked to provide a quieter typing experience. That’s nice, but noise was at the bottom of the list of issues I was hoping Apple would address. You’re still getting just 0.7mm of travel, compared to 1.3mm for the MacBook Pros of old. In fact, Apple just discontinued the 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro and its much cushier keyboard....

Security researcher Patrick Wardle recently told Bleeping Computer that he was able to bypass privacy protections in the new macOS Mojave to reach sensitive user data. “I found a trivial, albeit 100% reliable flaw in their implementation,” Wardle said of Mojave’s security protections. Wardle was specifically able to access the information about confidential user contacts (for example, addresses and phone numbers). The flaw extends to a number of other Mojave security features as well....

Our expert picks for the best noise-cancelling headphones, per budget and styleCheck out our Bose 700 review…and our Sony WH-1000XM4 review At such a steep cost, the No. 5909 wants you to believe it isn’t in competition with more affordable popular noise-cancellers like the Bose 700 and Sony WH-1000XM4. It is, and it brings some serious performance to the table. However, Mark Levinson’s real sales pitch is to offer a hybrid hi-fi model that rivals the market’s top circum-aural, closed-back headphones....

This is according to Twitter user @tfwboredom, who claims to have found a reference to such a setting in a preview build of Windows 10. Specifically, the user discovered a “WindowsBlueLightReduction” setting that could be enabled in the Action Center, but is currently disabled in this preview release.

CET support will ensure that your Edge browsing experience is safe from hackers who try to use the browser’s code against itself by changing processes or behaviors and creating hard-to-detect attacks. CET intends to block flow-altering operations, keeping your system safe. Microsoft stated via Microsoft 365 Roadmap (opens in new tab) that “Microsoft Edge will begin supporting an even safer browsing mode that uses hardware-dependent control flow for browser processes on supported hardware (Intel 11th Gen....

“Your PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11”, followed by “our device is not eligible to join the Windows Insider Program on Windows 11.

The company initially released the fix for the Internet Explorer vulnerability on Sept. 23. But it had to be manually downloaded and installed, and the instructions Microsoft included to do so, if you could even find them, were pretty confusing to anyone who wasn’t an IT administrator. By contrast, the patch released yesterday (Oct. 3) is available through the regular Windows Update channel, which means the machine will download and install it for you as soon as you let it....

Credit: Windows Central The patent is highly detailed, showing very granular schematics of the mechanical devices invented by Microsoft for this technology. This may indicate that, most likely, these are designs that are already working in prototype form at some secret lab in some secret Surface hardware design lab. The diagrams in the patent follow on the heels of Samsung’s own foldable patent device which, in theory, may debut next year with an undisclosed, but very high, price tag....

Microsoft Surface Earbuds design When I pop open the Surface Earbuds’ charging case, the large discs and lid resemble Wall-E. And when I take the buds out of the case and put them in my ears, they look like those ear gauges you’d get from Hot Topic, just the restrained corporate edition. The buds are mostly made from plastic in a Glacier Gray color. The top of the disc is glossy while the base is matte....

At the big Surface launch event earlier this month, Microsoft touted how easy it is to take apart the Surface Laptop 3. We grew skeptical when the company later stressed that Surface owners shouldn’t do it themselves. Fortunately, those fears have been allayed. While you can’t replace every component in the Surface Laptop 3, those you can service are much easier to get to than in previous versions. “Based on its superficial similarity to past Surface Laptop designs, we would have expected something completely non-serviceable,” iFixit notes....
