I'm so new to Mac that I'm still in the womb..... nice to see a pro at work. Thx

[@Sutekhson-ol9jj]

Just got a refurbished MacBook M1 pro, employee discount come in clutch, traded in my M2 MacBook air for 650 and only. had to pay 285 dollars and was able to put apple care on it, this thing is a BEAST, can handle my work flow far better then the m2 believe it or not, it was a base model with only 8 gb of ram so the jump to 16gb and 1tb of storage is amazing!

[@roberthennessey5702]

First Tim Mac Book owner…this helped tremendously thank you glad a stumbled on your channel. Great job CJ

[@CJKnowsTECH]

Glad it helped!

[@CartyCantDance]

Your tip about changing the screen resolution was incredible. I hate that apple hides that setting so deep. Also you are incredibly charismatic, and I would definitely recommend your videos to someone who isn't quite as into tech as I am. You just explain things so well.

[@ChasingDaylightStudio]

I just got a new 16" MacBook Pro and this video was killer!!! I've been a Mac user for years and I learned a lot from this video! Love all your content.. love your enthusiasm and "Tim Apple" always cracks me up! Keep up the great work!!!

I'm hyped it helped and glad you like the content. Thank You

You forgot the "Calculate all sizes" in the view options. As a content creator, it's really great to see the size of folders at all times without having to press the space bar on each folder ;)

[@piplup10203854]

I just got my very first MacBook Pro and I got to say this has been super super nice. It was a bit hard for me to follow as you went through all the settings quickly but the little path finders throughout the sections that show where to go helped me figure out how to do it on my MacBook and I paused very frequently lol thanks for the help in setting it up :D now if only I could hide the notch lol I do like the little bar at the top with all the important info being nice and small though :D I am so used to my windows computer having absolutely nothing on the screen so I can just see my wallpaper but it's not too bad on Mac :D

[@piplup10203854]

@@stopsmilelike 🤔 I am not sure if it comes with a keyboard and mouse as I just bought mine from Apple's website but if you're getting the MacBook Laptop it will have a keyboard built in but no mouse. I just got that little bluetooth mouse that people recommend called Pebble for like 25 bucks it works really well with the apple devices. But, I think the MacBook M1 chip is a really solid price and still a great machine especially if you don't need a really heavy workload. I mostly use mine for spreadsheet data and team project management and software development so it works out really well just make sure you get the storage you'd like. I went for the M2 Pro Chip with 16gb of memory and 500gb storage and that's much more than I need :)

[@dougrobison5342]

Well Done, great tips and easy to follow! Thanks much.

Hello CJ Just found your channel always been an Apple girl but hubby just got me the 13 inch MacBook Pro M2. I’m not gonna lie I’m a bit overwhelmed it seems like a lot but I found this video helpful so thank you about to binge your channel. Love your personality 🖤👏🏾

When using a 3rd party mouse like a logitech how do you make the scroll wheel scroll the page down when scrolling down. It currently seems inverted.

Change the scroll direction in logitech options app or maybe system settings but my logitech mice require logitech options app

ya girl is blind, well not really but I have potato vision even with contacts. I had to switch off from more space and do the 3rd or 2nd from the largest. Does this impact my resolution negatively? If it does I'll go back to more space.
