MacBook Air M1 Basics - Mac Manual Guide for Beginners - New to Mac 

This is my first Apple Mac Book Air M1 and your video is great . I am excited to add the new I-Phone 12 Pro Max and the I-Pad … so much fun to learn at my age of 74….. I want to keep up with the times.

Man, this is great content. I switched from Windows to a MacBook Air M1, and your help is making this journey so much better

This is truly a fantastic tutorial. Being 73 and switching from Windows to Apple, your guidance really ironed out a lot of the wrinkles in the adaptive process. Hats off to you and thank you!!

Best Mac how to video I’ve ever seen, I love that you made it to where you can actually see what you’re doing, and zooming in on things

Thank you so much, this is so helpful. I’m not taking the computer age gracefully, and when I ask for help, I’m told to google it! Some are basic questions that I didn’t know to ask. You are patient and show each step up close, and even show other ways to accomplish the same thing. This is the first tutorial that doesn’t leave me with more questions than answers. I really appreciate it. I want to use my MacBook with proficiency and utilize it to the potential that I need. Your tutorial gives me hope, that I have a useful piece of communication ….and I can learn how to utilize it by finding people willing to take time and patience for us that are relentlessly learning how to maneuver through this computer. I’m looking forward to more beginner Apple MacBook tutorials.

I’m a first time Mac user. You’re video is awesome. Easy to understand & follow along. Thank you very much!

Brilliant. Bought a Mac Pro M1. Been using PC's close to 20years. Currently having a Dell G7 and a G5 .Very lucidly explained. Thank you

I just purchased my first Mac , before I had the windows pro which I rarely used and it became useless. Anyway I am not the slightest tech savvy what so ever and it took me about five videos to get to yours and you showed exactly what I needed ! Very basic steps but ALL the difference and I feel more confident in having this device so THANK YOU for your knowledge.

Wow! This was so incredibly helpful! I’ve used iPads and iPhones but never had a laptop so there was a real disconnect between actions and gestures, but your tutorial bridged the gap between the two operating systems. Thank you, thank you, 🙏

Such a good video for those of us who switch over from windows to Mac for the first time! Thank you very much for taking the time to create it. I know I really appreciated this!

This is a generous basic info from you, and i've learned a lot, since this is my very first time using Macbook from my old laptop HP. Thanks! ❤️

This is a very helpful video for anyone transitioning. Thanks for creating this and going straight to the point and making the video user friendly.

So informative! Easy to follow along. Loved how you displayed the actual screen and zoomed in and out during the appropriate times!

First time Macbook user here and am gonna say this video is very helpful! Clear and concise!

Thank you so much. Your tutorial was very thorough and understandable. I was able to follow very easily. This is my first mac, I have only had it for a few weeks and found it very challenging. This was very helpful

Great video! I am a beginner, my first Apple Mac Book Air M2, switched from Windows to a MacBook Air M2. Easy to understand & follow along. Thank you very much!

Thank you for the tips! I've had my MacBook Air for years and hadn't really taken the time to learn. This video is going to massively change my usage!!

This is super informative for those who are switching from windows to Mac! Appreciate your content mate!

Very helpful video for all folks switching and have switched to MacBook. Kudos!

I am thoroughly grateful to you for making the explanation do lucid for the first time users of Apple Mac, like me. Though I am a begginner, it gave me enough confidence to use it. Blessings🙌 keep up your good work. 👏👍👏

First time using MacBook. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. Thank you!

Absolutely Amazing!!! Thank you. Hopefully you have more for beginners. Thank you

One of the most comfortable tutorials I have seen on RU-vid. Most speakers act as if they are auctioneers with speed talking, however this was very well paced, allowed pauses at parts I wanted to try myself and was extremely informative! Looking forward to learning Apple products from Tech & Design!!
