There have been multiple rumors and leaks about the upcoming MacBooks, powered by the Apple silicon but there seems to be a new twist to this tale. Apple has taken a decisive decision to drop Intel and make products based on its own chip, giving themselves for flexibility and ultimately helping to make an ecosystem of ARM-powered devices.
We have heard some aggressive leaks about both the ARM-based 12-inch MacBook and the new 13-inch MacBook Pro, with a suggested launch date of sometime in October. On the other hand, the iPhone 12’s launch still remains to be in next month, there seems to be uncertainty over the MacBook front, which was scheduled to be launch in a second event slated in October.
My new source suggests that there is no October event at which Apple is to unveil Apple Silicon MacBooks and more
But, now, according to the tipster @komiya_kj, there will not be any unveiling event in October, however, the Cupertino giant was confident during its 2020 WWDC keynote that the first ARM-based MacBook would arrive later this year itself.
Obviously, this single tweet can have a lot of sides to it – maybe Apple will not be doing any formal launch but restrict it only to a press release and a blog announcement. Although it seems very unlikely that Apple will not be doing a formal launch as it will mark the company’s first own chip powered laptop.
Also, it might be possible that the Cupertino giant’s plan has taken a hit due to the pandemic and its hardware might or supplies might not be ready, but having the specs and pricing leaked already, it doesn’t make any sense to not to make any announcement. Apple could obviously do launches as it does in its certain timeline but might delay the availability a bit, but it’s true that for the first time, people are much more excited for the ARM-based MacBook.
Both the 12-inch MacBook and 13-inch MacBook Pro will be eye-catching this time for its specs, performance, and pricing. So, as for now, you can take the leak with a pinch of salt and wait for these new MacBooks to get announced sooner or later.
Huawei is a tech superpower in China and it looks like it wants to change the desktop experience in the country as well. The well-known smartphone maker will be launching Huawei desktop computers in their native country soon.
The leak comes from a Weibo user, and as Gizchina reports, the desktop will feature 24-core Kunpeng platform along with a dedicated graphics card in the form of AMD’s Radeon 520.
The Huawei desktop consists of an internal code of Pangu. The report also says that initially there wi be only one model using the self-developed 24-core Kunpeng platform. Huawei is also said to have put an 8GB notebook memory along with 512GB Samsung SSD & AMD’s Radeon 520 graphics card.

It’s also been speculated that the processor’s multi-core performance is comparable to that of the Intel i9-9900K. Last year, Huawei launched the Kunpeng 920 desktop motherboard which supports all the major components but was available for corporate users only.
That platform featured a quad-core or eight-core ARM processors along with 64GB DDR4-2400 RAM. Huawei can easily integrate any OS on the platform based ARM processors. This Huawei desktop will be exclusive for government and enterprise customers only. It is also reported that the desktop will be running on the domestic UOS system and cannot install Windows.
Much like any other OEM desktop, this one will also not support any kind of expansion. So it will not support other types of graphics cards, and even the CPU motherboard cannot be removed.
Huawei will also be equipping the desktop with a 23.8-inch display which has a 70% NTSC color gamut and a standard FHD resolution. Much like other commercial desktops, this one too will feature three USB-A and one USB-C ports and a headset port on the front.
There will also be an optical drive on the front while for the rear I/O panel there will be four USB-A interfaces, a network cable interface, and a VGA interface. Huawei is said to be launching a desktop PC for 7500 yuan ($1061) on a ‘mysterious platform’. The CPU model is said to be the Huawei Kunpeng 920 2249K, which will likely be soldered directly into the motherboard.
It will be paired with a 16GB DDR4 memory and a 256GB SSD. The motherboard will feature four memory slots with up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM. The desktop will also come with a PCIe 4.0 graphics card slot. On the other hand, the graphics card will be the Yeston RX 550 with the operating system being UOS.

This Google Play Console listing says that the phone will come with 4GB RAM, MediaTek Helio G70 processor paired with Mali G52 GPU. The phone will have have a HD+(720 x 1640) resolution. The phone will run on Android 10.

Yesterday, Quique Setien’s men defeated Napoli at the Camp Nou by 3-1 due to Messi’s amazing performance and the team’s collective effort in the first half. The 61-year-old’s tactics and efforts have helped to the Blaugranas to reach in the final eight of the tournament on Saturday.
Thanks to the goals of Clement Lenglet, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez that has helped FC Barcelona to reach quarter-finals for a record 13th successive time. Setien also seemed pretty happy with his team in the after-match press conference and even said about the prospect of facing Bayern Munich next week.
Here’s what he said regarding his team’s performance against Napoli:
“This is a first step well taken. The first few minutes Napoli had us working hard. They are a great team. We had to defend with lots of intensity and commitment. If they’d scored again it would have been a big boost for Napoli so our big priority was to defend well. That said, there were some nerves.”
“Lionel took quite a fierce knock in that challenge [against Koulibaly] but I don’t think it’ll become a big problem for him.”
“This was the first forward step we wanted and now it’s to be hoped we play the matches in front of us with the same attitude which we demonstrated here. The team played well and we deserved this.”
“I’ve congratulated Gattuso again for the extraordinary work he’s doing. He has really developed his team. His work is top merit and I’m a loyal admirer of his methods.”
Setien is also wary of their next strong opponent who is the Bundesliga champion this season and has excelled with their performance whether it’s for Champions League or the German League and they look forward to winning the treble this season. Quique Setien spoke:
“All the rivals who are left are strong and there are only complicated matches left. So it’ll be tough for us but for Bayern too. They’re a great side but so are we.”
The FC Barcelona coach has to plan well and focus on the next game on Friday. Setien has even described the quarter-final against Bayern Munich as a ‘complicated match’ but we can only hope for the best in Lisbon.
