I'm a big Macbook / Samsung phone (s21) user. For file transfers I use Dropbox. If I want to share a url link from my phone to my laptop I simply copy/paste the link into Facebook, setting the privacy setting of the post to "me only". As for browsers, my late 2013 Macbook tends to run a little hot these days and Safari is the biggest offender, so I use a Chrome browser.

Hey there, there is a way to create an ecosystem between any two OS in this example Mac and Android, which I use daily. It's called KDE Connect for Android and for Mac it's called Soduto. Just set it up and you will have airdrop-like capability yes local sharing with speed around 30 to 50 Mbps, notification sync, etc. If you want I could help you set it up so that more people could benefit 🎉

But the Galaxy Books 3 pro version and non don't look like finished prducts. They overheat too easily, lack power when unpluged and have low autonomy, all things that are really important in a laptop. For the same price you can get all this things with a macbook, but loosing all the samsung echosystem...

@@engel2702 I don't think a samsung branded laptop is really necessary. Just install link to windows and set it up with your phone. The Samsung integration is way ahead of the regular android implementation and IMO the BEST feature is being able to sync/share your clipboard between devices. Crop screenshot something on your PC and you can immediately pick up your phone and paste the image in a message.

@engel2702 Don't get a Galaxy Book. Go for a MacBook. I eventually bought a Galaxy Book 360 Pro (returned), then a Galaxy Book Ultra (returned), then finally a new MacBook Pro M2. Both the Galaxy Books had the same bluetooth connectivity issues, and the Galaxy Book Ultra bluescreened on the first day of use, and the quality of the touchpads and keyboards were subpar, not even in the same ballpark. The screens however were gorgeous (both OLED), but they were the only thing that was good about these laptops. Windows 11 is still awful, and the Samsung ecosystem with their laptops is buggy, unintuitive, and flat out ugly.

Yeah, I tried, but went back to iPhone after a while... I use Airdrop too much to let it go and I love the copy link/text on my phone and paste it on my laptop (and vice-versa). I love Android phones, but I only have macs (at home a mini, at work an iMac and a Macbook Pro in my bag), so I could not give up the perks, earbuds, everything involved in the process. If you only have an Android, yes, you can make it work, but if you have to choose between an iPhone and a Samsung, I think you should pick the iPhone 10 times out of 10.

Stuff won’t get blended together if you organize your workflow. And you can have the phone and Mac automatically alter your workspace based on time of day or setting.

I use an S23+ with a Macbook Pro (personal machine) and an HP Laptop (work machine). And I really love the ability to use Google messages regardless of the platform I’m on. I also have my Google profile loaded on both machines so I can use Google Drive with both machines. The one thing I don’t like is taking notes. Neither One Note or Google Keep are my favorite note taking apps. I really loved both Apple Notes and Samsung Notes but they are both platform specific. At the end of the day I do like having mixed setup. I think Apple has the best laptops and tablets. And I think Samsung has the best phones. I don’t know that I’ll ever go back to the walled garden completely, ever again. Great video and thanks

Google photos on the browser is a great way to share and download to your macbook as well.

I am using an Android phone paired with a Macbook. I believe those OS are the best of both worlds in their current states. that said, I'm always tempted to switch to iOS for the full integration experience even though I can't stand iOS. Android has always been my favorite OS specially for productivity so I am glad to know that I'm not alone.

You can use Kde connect on your android phone and macbook to do the exactly same stuff like with android to windows You can sync clipboard,send large file,access your file system remotely, notification and a lot If you are using this combo give my recommendation a try✌️

After being on a MacBook and iPhone for the last 10+ years, I have been seriously contemplating switching to a galaxy phone. I still want to keep my MacBook as I prefer it over windows but I am tired of the iPhone being behind with technology. Do you have a video that talks about features, settings, and apps for iphone users who switch to an android?

Currently owning an iPhone 14 pro Max and a MacBook Air. The only thing I use as far as the eco system goes between the two is airdrop. Where I come from internet data is not cheap so I prefer p2p transfer where I don’t lose my data like if I did the Google drive way I’m planning to switch to s24 ultra when it comes out. Are there good alternatives for airdrop like that? If so I wouldn’t hesitate to switch, getting tired of the same old from iPhones, At this point tbh.
