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.

@@concepts_media yes quite easy, I really like Mac os now! More than windows, the apps are very cohesive, word, outlook, PowerPoint all work great no issues uploading homework and word documents I am so glad I made the switch tbh. I saw some videos to help me learn mac os and now I feel very comfortable using it and enjoy it.

[@gabrielawendell9779]

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.

[@crystalbarajas9519]

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.

I am going to have my first Apple product delivered tomorrow. I finally did it. I think since it was PRIME Sale days on Amazon, I was able to get a good deal on it. I'm so excited and I've ordered the transparent protective case for it and that will be coming Sunday. Eventually I will get a regular carrying case for it as I always put my other laptop in one upon shutting it down. But until then, the case will be enough protection for it. I'm going to wait till I see if I need the USB Dock for it. As I have a very good laptop still in great shape, I'll just do a few things on it. Later on as I become more familiar with the MacBook, I will take things off my Asus and put it on the Macbook and vice-versa. My laptop has 8gb of Ram and 128gb of storage. I have 15gb of cloud storage on my Google account and I've purchased an extra 100gb and I haven't even used 1gb yet. I also bought 100gb of cloud storage on Asus which I thought I would need. At any rate, I'm covered for Cloud Storage. I don't know if you get any with Apple. I have an Apple ID which I've had for a long time but never really needed it so now I will get to use it. I had to recreate a new one for the changed email address. When I receive my Macbook tomorrow, I will watch your video again so nothing goes wrong. Thank you again for your very well put together video.

@@TechandDesign I meant my knowledge and stuff, idk maybe it’s not I just sometimes feel I’ve got some old outdated stuff like my MacBook m1 that I’ve barley used cause I can’t quite figure it out compared to my old windows hp laptop from like 07 lol. This iPad is the 8gen I think, and my phone is the iPhone 11. Idk, I just always tend to feel I’m outdated lol. But what did you use like to even make this video? I’m trying to get into CapCut for my drone footage, I usually just use the iPad and the drone app though cause it’s just simple cut and clip editing with diff transitions. I used to be good pretty good at windows movie maker way back haha. But yeah. I’d like to put my m1 to use and learn to make videos edited similar to this.

I plan on getting the 2020 MacBook Air M1. When I went from Windows to tablets and finally landed on the Chromebook which I've used for several years now. However, I'm looking at the 2020 MacBook Air M1 for my first Apple laptop. Since I am looking for something safe and pretty good specs, I think this will provide everything I need for a first time buyer of an Apple product. I like that it is fanless and it's pretty good for what I am looking for. I have an Asus which I use on a regular basis. My needs are simple since all I do is email, occasional shopping and stream content with various platforms. I am watching your channel to see what I am in for since I am a first time user of this device. I have a good safe internet program and a VPN on my network so I feel pretty safe with this. I like the idea of it being fanless. And it's my first device of Apple so I'm looking forward to this when it happens.
