Being a first time Mac user, this video is extremely useful and I really appreciate the effort in breaking down minute details considering us as amateur or completely new users.

First time Mac user here! Always been a massive PC guy for sound production and my office work and such. Moving over to a MacBook Pro rather than a Windows laptop for doing office work and little music bits and pieces on the go has been a little scary but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. Just in love with how smooth everything runs and how it's so in sync with my iPhone and everything! Thanks so much for this video. I absolutely love the trackpad, what a smart bit of kit! Thanks again!

[@TechandDesign]

Glad to Help out 😃

[@akshaysvibelife8267]

Any idea to get free editing softwares in Mac?

[@TechandDesign]

iMovie is free for mac

[@sorinpirtea2306]

AFAIK, the trackpad of the 16" Macbook Pro is the biggest ever used on a laptop. I don't know anything of the old 17" Macbook, maybe it had a bigger trackpad...

[@autonomous9031]

just got my first apple today and I was kinda worried about how long it was going to take me to transition from windows. Thanks to you it only took 30 minutes. THANK YOU!!!

How are you going with it now?

[@lancelotchambers3874]

What an amazing teaching video. I’m a life-long Windows PC user and will be switching to the Mac with the purchase of the MacBook Air in a few days. I’m loving stuff like you’re doing. I will definitely be subscribing and following along with you. If I could suggest something. I don’t know if you’ve done this yet. Could you do a video like this but with emphasis on users coming from the Windows PC Camp? For example: file and folder structure in Mac OS. Where do files and folders live in the Mac OS system. How to move, use, delete, create files. Moving files from phones, iPad, windows tablets, cameras etc to the MacBook? That’s a lot right there.... let the Journey Begin!!!!!

[@TechandDesign]

actually I did cover that in the video. I do have some videos about iphone / iPad and Macs

[@makkamao]

I asked exactly for the same: how do I save a file and where?

[@sanguis.0x195]

Did you get the Macbook? How do you like it so far?

[@haperera2334]

I too am moving from Windows PC to MAC . How do I create a file/ folder and where in MAC. How to move, use, delete etc.

For 8 years I was a windows user. A week b4 I shifted to macbook pro 16 inches m1 chip 16gb ram 1 tb storage. Was not able to operate it smoothly. This video helped a lot. Thanks ❤️ PS : I was looking for a refresh button when I purchased a macbook. 😂 I was literally looking a dumbo 😆😆

[@Ne0nnet]

Love to see so many people have been or are going to be in the boat of changing from Windows os to a MacBook Pro or Air. It is a learning curve, but I'm enjoying this slight challenge. Slightly frustrating but getting there. Grateful for these videos to help along the way!

Macs don't use the concept of drive letters. Just like Windows where you have your user folder (C:\users\YourName\Documents), you have a similar thing on macOS: /user/UserName/Documents.

No matter what iDevice you use (iPhone, iPad, Mac), they are the best optimized, because the entire software (OS & apps) was designed for their hardware. All of the other OSs and apps will not be optimized ever, because they have to run on various devices, from various manufacturers, on various configurations. In addition, there are still fewer Mac users rather than Win & Linux users, and this means more security on Mac. That's why you don't need additional drivers and antivirus software on Mac, until you use some special devices and applications and you navigate to potential suspect websites.

[@TechandDesign]

sometimes you do need to install additional drivers and you can get virus on your Mac , it’s not that common like windows but you can still get them

Hello again! In the Apple website, when I'm choosing my specs, I chose the M3 Pro chip with 11 CPU cores and 14 GPU cores and it gives me two options for the charger, 70W and 96W, which one do I choose? What are the pros and cons? I read your MacBook charges faster with the 96W, but what does that do to the battery life? Or the differences are very little? Sorry for bothering again.
