Just received my m3 pro this week after upgrading from a 2019 base mba. Great video!!! So useful

[@baniarora6312]

Did you decide to use the migration assistant?

[@majkoo]

@@baniarora6312hey, i’m a different person but i’ve just switched to an m1 max from a maxed 2019 i9 build and i’ve used migration assistant, some apps i’ve redownloaded as the native silicon version, but others are either not supported (so they are run with rosetta by default), or already silicon compatible. I would say if you have 200+ apps and 1000+ plugins for certain of your apps like me it’s definitely worth using migration assistant, even at the cost of some storage getting filled up by useless files. If you don’t need that many apps and/or have all of the installers (in my case i had lost some installers for old legacy plugins) then I’d recommend you do a clean install. Hope this helped!

This is a great video. I am a windows girl, but thinking about getting my first MacBook, and know nothing about them. I appreciate the detail you went to in the video. Thank you

[@VoLtiamo]

this was a very detailed video, thank you so much!

[@therealmrjolly]

Wow! Who are you? I am currently contemplating a switch to Mac from Windows. This is the first self-education post I visited with many questions about deployment, migration, look, and clarity of the device. I rarely comment on KZbin unless this is warranted. I commend you highly for the structure and quality of your video tutorial. Well done!

[@Jeetylime]

You mean windows to mac, right?

[@djgcue]

I’m here for the cutest YT calico kitty. Highlight of my day!

[@CelesteandJames]

Easy setup tutorial. Another personal favourite setup I like to do for the trackpad is the three-finger drag lock. It’s quite a hidden trick on the mac setting, but man it makes dragging items on the computer so much better! I’ve been using this trick since my first MacBook in 2010! To set it up, open system settings, choose accessibility on the left hand menu, scroll down to pointer control, click trackpad options, enable dragging with three fingers, and let it change your life!

[@ReceiveMusic]

Now that's an actual useful tip. I wonder if it also works with the separate track pad slab that Apple sells.

[@inaexity]

just got an 15 in macair for school and as someone who has never used a mac this was solo helpful! tysm!!

I’m so happy that there is finally an Aussie creator setting this up. Everyone always has different plugs but it’s so reassuring seeing someone have an Aussie plug that I’m used too. New sub❤

Hey , you purchased this laptop 5 months ago. How's your experience been? Is it handling programming and software well? And tell me your laptop version

Perfect timing, just got my first ever Macbook (first ever iOS device) then this video dropped

[@MarbsMusic]

If you save everything to iCloud or an external TB4 drive it's quite easy just to ignore migration and just copy things back over. Excellent and very through setup guide, especially for first time Mac users! I should have had my wife watch this but guess the bonding time setting up her new MacBook was worth it :)

[@DerrickNotEric]

Awesome video! very informative and helpful. I just purchased a new MacBook Pro so this was much needed. New subbie here! 💚

[@mkramer7505]

A tip for the migration assistent is using a usb c to usb c cable between your two macs, that greatly improves the speed

[@daviddonaghy4723]

I have two years with mine, and I still watch these videos lmaooo

[@scriptles]

The mouse wheel I actually prefer the way it comes. The reason is I am used to a mouse wheel. And with a mouse wheel if you spin the wheel 1 direction like forward so the wheel moves back to front... then if there were anything below that wheel the wheel would grip it and slide it down. Since a wheel inverts the direction the other side would move. I do not get why they do not call that natural because it 100% is natural according to physics itself. Like get a pencile with rubber on it.. hold the pencil steady and spin it.. the paper moves the opposite direction.. because thats how rotational force works. Furthermore take your finger and put it on the mouse wheel.. scroll it forward and keep your finger pointing that direction.. which way is it pointing? Up... pull it towards you and your now pointing down. So not only is it more natural in physics, but it's more natural to the direction your hand is pointing. I think calling it not narutal is not natural lol.

It's not just Macbooks. Most new laptops have a really nice "new computer" smell.

[@PeterEmery]

Hopefully a new M3 MacBook Air will arrive tomorrow. I intend to have it set up the same as my current M1 MacBook air. Therefore I'll use a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 cable (I have both) to connect the two computers for the highest available data transfer rate via Migration Assistant.

[@JJFlores197]

Yes you can create a new Apple ID. Do note that none of the data that's stored on the old account will transfer to your new account. So if you bought any apps, games, movies, music, subscriptions, etc, those will not transfer nor are they transferable to a new account.
