TheMarket’s massive Apple sale: save up to NZ$250 on iPads, MacBooks and iPhones

Image
Almost all the talk around Apple of late has centred around the all-new iPhone 13 range.

TheMarket has just launched a sale that includes a range of Apple products (excluding the iPhone 13 handsets). While the sale only gets you 5% off devices, it can be applied to already-discounted items, so it’s a good opportunity to save on Apple’s premium products such as the iPad Air 4 . We’ve highlighted our top picks from the sale below, but they aren’t everything on offer.

Windows 11 TPM requirements will cause massive headaches for businesses

When Windows 11 releases next week, IT teams in large enterprises will be faced with an almost herculean challenge when it comes to updating their fleet of devices to the latest version of Microsoft's operating system. Although Microsoft has reversed course and will now allow anyone to manually install Windows 11 regardless of their CPU , automatically upgrading is only possible if a device's CPU, RAM and its TPM meet the requirements necessary to execute the upgrade. Unfortunately though, most business computers and workstations likely won't be eligible for an automatic upgrade according to new research from Lansweeper. By analyzing an estimated 30m Windows devices from 60k organizations, the IT asset management software company found that on average, only 44.4 percent of workstations are eligible to receive the automatic upgrade while the rest are ineligible. We've put together a list of the best business computers These are the best business laptops on th

Best free, public DNS servers in 2021: Boost your internet speed with these services

Image
Free and public DNS servers offer an alternative way to connect safely online with the added bonus of potentially accelerating your internet speed. DNS (Domain Name System) is a system (or protocol) which translates the domain names you enter in a browser to the IP addresses required to access those sites. Your ISP will assign you DNS servers whenever you connect to the internet, but these may not always be the best DNS server choice around. Slow DNS servers can cause a lag before websites start to load, and if your server sometimes goes down, you may not be able to access any sites at all. Switching to a free public DNS server can make a real difference, with more responsive browsing and lengthy 100% uptime records meaning there's much less chance of technical problems. Some services can also block access to phishing or infected sites, and a few offer content filtering to keep your kids away from the worst of the web. You need to choose your service with care - not all provid
