Hi Ella, would you recommend moving to Mac from Windows since I've always seen Windows laptops slowing down over time? Also to not land into same issue, have you seen your Macbook slow down ever?

First-time mac user here who is VERY scared of how difficult the transition will be. Thank you for making this video.

@ruk2023-- Год назад

For the majority of transition problems remember that the command key is generally the mac version of the windows control key - e.g - command + c copies in mac, control + c copies in windows. Apart from that the only real differences day to day are finder vs explorer and how to open apps. The apps themselves are almost identical to windows ones, assuming you're using the common productivity tools.

@vonbuquid7525 Год назад

Although the notch might be annoying for some users, I would prefer to have it shown. It's what makes the new models of MacBook distinct from the rest. And that notch is the reason why there are thinner bezels. It disappears anyways when you're on full screen.

@AS-bq7sc Год назад

I agree! I like the notch and want to always see it, because I always want to see my menu bar. I use it often and it’s annoying having it disappeare

This is incredibly helpful, thank you! While I have an iPhone, I've mostly only ever used Windows and a little bit of Linux, so I'm not super familiar with MacOS. Ordered a starlight M2 Air this week and am very excited!

@oni006 Год назад

Very much enjoyed the video. Thank You Items 1 and 2 were also the first things I did. One because I like more screen real estate and Two because I just switch from Windows to MacOS and I ALWAYS used the snap shortcuts on Windows 10 and needed a solution on the Mac The Finder Preferences were also great to know. Glad I can see the path now in the window. Again Thank You

I just switched over from Windows and this is by far the most helpful and practical video I’ve seen on how to improve the everyday usability of the MBA. Too many videos focus on obscure features that most users won’t care about. Thanks, you made a lifelong PC user’s transition a lot easier and more pleasant! 😃

@BE-hv6if Год назад

Didn't know about any of these options, probably the best Mac video I've seen. I did toggle my finder to group similar items though, this way it'll group all pdf, images, documents together in divergent rows so that I'm not sifting through random docs for a pdf I might need.
