In case it's not obvious, I really love my MacBook Pro! They have been so far ahead of the game when it comes to portable power/battery life for laptops since 2020 when the M1's came out. I have gushed about them in many other videos which you can watch here: ruclips.net/p/PL-LtJzG3km4szpyrt4fJHJuHoEd3XZBZE&si=3yiEUneRpkttCDsC In case you missed my original video where I switched from Windows to Apple, check that out here: ruclips.net/video/TZgfFGWToOk/видео.html Also If there are any other things I missed in the video please share in the comments below... it's always fun to chat about. Thanks for watching! 👊
This is really interesting! As a Mac user for my entire life, it kind of felt like this when I switched over to Windows for the first time. 😂 Not completely, but it was kind of like that for me too. I think Apple people are just so used to this that we just put up with it naturally. lol The thing that interested me most was when you mentioned how you don't like the full-screen green button on the top left and how it felt like it didn't go full screen all the way. This was really interesting to listen to. I'm subscribing and binge-watching all your videos now. 😂❤ Thank you.
I think a lot of this just takes getting used to. I can't explain exactly why I like Mac better than PC after making the switch, but I prefer using my Macbook over my gaming PC now. It has also taken me longer to adjust to when I switch back and forth between PC and Mac. Another thing I have observed is that Mac takes more personalization to make it "almost" perfect for me, which is great except for times when I need to use a Mac that isn't mine. Windows has become so much easier for switching between different PCs--the transition is usually seamless. I actually hate when I have to use a Mac other than my own, but I love my personalized Macbook. All of the annoyances you've listed have been things I've dealt with too. Great video
Thanks for the comment... and good point about the switching between machines. I struggle with this. In my video editing software for example, it's great to make personalized shortcuts to speed up the workflow. But if I ever get put in an environment where I have to use someone else's I'd be screwed. I'm really trying to learn all the shortcuts the way they are and it's frustrating. There are even little things I didn't mentioned (like how the Delete key doesn't delete files in finder) but like you said, I am assuming that's just me not used to things yet. I'm battling a LIFETIME of habits from Windows so... I'm trying to be patient. I do enjoy use the Mac though. Never thought I'd be here!
Come back to the Windows side. Less costly, adjustable SSD, better short cut keys, better app scaling than rectangle, and a large community to help with issues.
Haha you make a strong case! The video editing capability and battery life is just SO good it's the only reason I'm here... those new Snapdragon laptops might be interesting though. If they can come close to the efficiency AND you can slap a video card on there I might have to be switching again lol.
@@TheSAHDLife Me too. For my laptop is no better one that the mac. I bought a M3 mac air. For the battery time and fanless system. Insane power. I have still a 7000 eu desktop pc. Windows is working better and logic. I hope snapdragon can beat apple silicone.
@@tomnoreilde8032 It'll be really interesting to see what happens. I can't wait! When I researched it it seems like the TSMC chips are just so far ahead of everyone else and Apple was buying up all their newest stuff BUT it seems like AMD is getting the leftover stock which might be pretty decent. What I didn't find out on my research was where Snapdragon fits in and exactly how competitive they are.
after tones of research i go for mac m3pro base 18gb and now you are made this video when my payment is done and it's about to arrives. i spend my 2 month salary and now i am scared it's right decision or not. Profession :- software engineer 😪😪
Hehe. I hear you. Well I have different needs with video editing being my #1 priority. I'm not sure what kind of demands your software uses but for everyday usage the M3 Pro was absolutely fantastic. I have a feeling you will be happy with your choice!
I went through many of the same challenges when I transitioned to macOS but that was several years ago and the challenges now are, at worst, minor annoyances. I was using shortcuts before I made the move but I did have to adjust from ctl-C to cmd-C to copy (for instance) and then have to remember which is which when I'm on my work laptop (a Dell). It's second nature now. I've shared before that I went with a refurbished M1 Pro MBP 14 and I've never regretted it, the M1 chip is still a beast, so I think you made a wise choice.
Thanks! You know, since Apple doesn't necessarily stick with traditional aspect ratios it allows them to make their laptops taller. A 13" Windows laptop for example, I always found way too small... but since switching to the MacBooks, I have a new appreciation for both the sizes. And I think that laptop you have is a solid choice. Heck, I bet the new 14" M3 Air's will be absolute bangers for most people. I'm not going to lie, I kind of want one 😎 but yeah, it hasn't been a perfect transition switching over. Those new Snapdragon laptops coming out soon will be interesting... because if you can get similar nm size CPU's in laptops with graphics cards in there... ohhh boy.
@@TheSAHDLife I completely forgot to mention the one difference that was the most annoying to me at first (I must have gotten used to it): When I click on the X in the upper RIGHT corner of a Windows application it is closed completely, but when I click the X in the upper LEFT corner of a macOS application the app closes to the Dock but hasn't quit. That requires an extra step. If anybody could tell me why Apple chose to manage apps this way I would be very grateful.
YES this. I didn't mention it in the video either but I have to quit (FORCE quit) battle-net every day whereas on Windows it just runs flawlessly in the background with zero issues ever. @@bryans8656
No one uses caps lock. Just change caps lock to command and make life easier. If you hit command + J in Finder you can set it however you want and then at the bottom use as default.
Hahaha! It definitely has not been a smooth ride BUT I tell you, the battery life and video editing ability on them is just the best. I sit all over my house and edit 4k videos with no problems. I never thought I'd be able to do that!
I will just stick to buying slightly used gamer Desktops and then upping the RAM to max. Apple products are cool but woof the premimum we have to pay. @@TheSAHDLife
@@galayder I agree. The new Snapdragon chips seem pretty gnarly. The next couple years will be really interesting once the competitors start getting smaller CPUs and use ARM tech. Slap a video card in there and now we're talking!
I totally agree .. on macOS for as long as I remember.. switching daily with windows at work .. and fell you bro 👊 when it comes to window management .. it’s so good in windows 10/11 and so bad in macOS natively .. i don’t know why Apple complicating this
Yeah right?! I guess you just get used to things and wouldn't know the difference unless you switch between the two. It's funny how they both have their own strengths and weaknesses though. Too bad we can't create a frankenstein Macdows computer lol.
I’m using a Mac alongside Parallels to run windows. I made the switch over back in 2012. However I’m considering switching back to windows. Gaming PC on the shopping list.
The Apple hardware is just such a treat to use... it's a real shame they can't even create their OWN gpu and slap it in there. I guess the battery life wouldn't be as bonkers but whatever... it would still be good. Any games in particular you are itching to play? I'm waiting for Path of Exile 2! Not sure it'll run that well on my M1 Max but maybe it'll be fine.
@@TheSAHDLife They DID create their own GPU. It's a SOC though. How the hell do you think the rendering and displays are being handled? dude wtf are you talking about?
Haha good one!! Yeah there are a few things like that I'm chalking up to me just not being used to. Like how the DELETE key DOESN'T DELETE files in Finder. Wtf!??

I've been using it for 8 months and I'm STILL not used to so much. Overall though it's great.

@@TheSAHDLife There's a better window snapping tool called Mosaic or something like that too. You use a grid to set the window size.

All of these are so true. I had to move to macbook at work, but I'd not buy one for myself. Windows is so ux friendly
Right? I do miss it, I'm not going to lie. The battery and video editing on this thing though is what makes it awesome for where I'm at now.
@TheSAHDLife I do agree that tech-wise, the macbook is a beast, I really wish Surface lineup could be close to that performance and battery life
