linux lol to be honest if you could install and use some solution and you are not hook in apple ecosystem , its pretty good. Else if you had money yes mac its fine. But i would say Windows for gaming and Mac/Linux(depend on your job) for working . Actually with proton linux is actually better for gaming that mac lol
Mac for sure, I personally have a windows 10 machine and a Mac, and when I try to use the windows machine it's so frustrating because it is always updating, and windows 10 is so confusing and frustrating compared to macOS + MacOS can have Final Cut Pro which is my preferred editing software, and even though my MacBook is 9 years old it handles my 1080p videos fine (most of the time) because apple designs their apps around there software and hardware to make most of them. And the way they integrate the iPhone, iPad etc. is truly amazing, especially AirDrop and iMessage.
To move maximized windows from a display to another you don't need to shrink them. Just swipe up with three fingers on the touchpad and drag the window you wanna move. (U gotta drag it to that section in the top part of the screen where u see all the desktop and windows previews).
Thank you! My best friend is a recently converted Apple fanboy, and he didn't know about this, and loved it when I told him. Still, not as good and intuitive as in Windows, but not as annoying as shrinking.
these tips might help: right click on trackpad -->settings/trackpad/point&click panel/secondary click and you will find different options moving full screen apps to monitor -->use mission control (swipe up with 3 or 4 fingers or just simply press f3 button) and drag and drop virtual desktops you can change this shortcuts in settings. I will recommend enabling 3finger drag if you use trackpad (every other shortcut will be available with 4 fingers instead of three)
I've been a Windows user since the late 90s and made the transition to the Apple ecosystem a few years ago. I have the M1 Pro MBP 14 (16/512), and like you I really like how well Apple devices work together.
Yeah, but that uses the trackpad and he wants to use a mouse like many other people. Plus, I know when I used my, now old, macbook pro I would have it closed hooked up to two monitors and k&b mouse only (no trackpad), so that would be useless.
I agree about the challenges in the transition from Windows to MacOS. I also do a Google search on how to do certain tasks on MacOS. But after some time, you get used to it and it's so intuitive. I currently own an M1 MacBook Air (my first MacBook) and it's my favourite laptop, better than the previous Windows-based laptops that I have used before. I am eyeing on the base M3 14-inch MacBook Pro.
@@DrewGryffind Agreed. Furthermore, given how efficient MacBook Air is in terms of battery, I don't have to hunt for power outlets when I use my MacBook in public spaces.
Yes! I have been considering upgrading to an M3 Pro though so I can get all of that plus a bigger formfactor so I don't feel so cramped using it sometimes.
...this was my story 10 y ago, bought a macbook air, and I will never go back to windows....it just works, its rock solid , no ctrl alt delete....its amazing!!!
Hold Alt/Option when maximizing, in that case window will not be full screen (no menu) but full size and you can drag it whenever you like. Spotlight is not only cleaner, it indexes whole filesystem and file content so it's full text search. Yes, even in images with some text. You can extend both spotlight and quicklook (aká space bar preview) by file extensions so you can preview 3D files, have color in code documents like php, c, js etc. In quicklook if you select multiple or all files and hit space bar you can preview all at once in grid, or you can preview one like you are doing but with cursor arrows switch between files, no need to close preview
I made the switch to MacOS a few month back and I don't regret it. The Stuff that works, does realy just work. (Although things, that don't work, realy don't work either) 13.4 Ventura is awesome on my M1 MacBook Air. (Sonoma drains the battery to quick IMO) There where a lot of things to get used to. The first thing I did was install "Alt+Tab" since that was one thing I liked from Windows. Unfortunatly, MacOS puts every "Fullscreen" (not "Maximized") window on its own virtual desktop, but you can easily rearrange them via the mouse and the Mission Control. I also recommend the "Rectangle" App, it is like "Alt+Tab" in that is is permanently on, but it provides shortcuts, that lets you Tile the screens, like you would on Window. Including cmd+up or double clicking the windows title to just "Maximize" (not "Fullscreen") Windows.
4:24 in the preview view, you can use the arrow keys to select other files in finder. This makes previewing a long list of images so much quicker. It also keeps the previously previewed file in memory, so if you are previewing massive files which usually takes a while to load, you can swap between the current and previous file lightning fast to compare.
redshift + c4d. Macs are just terrible machines for cg. I have been waiting for Macs to catch up for 2 decades already. there is always the promise but I don't think it's apple's end goal at this point. people don't use Macs to produce the cg on Apple's keynotes and commercials and they don't even use Final Cut, most prefer premiere.@@shoottochange
5:53 to fix this, don't maximize your apps with the app controls on the top left, just doubleclick the top of the app like you would on windows. To sum it up the yellow button is like pressing F11 on windows while double clicking the top works just like windows maximizing
The one thing that blew my mind with regard to "apple things working together" was snapping a photo on my iPhone, clicking copy and the just pasting it on my MacBook. Literally just command V. No need for airdrop or anything. Also works for text. Needed to send some text from my MacBook to my iPhone (WhatsApp), Copy Text on MacBook, then paste in iPhone. A-ma-zing!
I am a 10th grade student and have been using Windows until now. I am thinking of getting a new laptop. Right now, I am learning to code. I want to upgrade to a macbook but I am unsure about getting it because I don't want to overspend and also because I would use it for the next 4 to 5 years. What's your suggestion, should I change or not?
If you have the money to spend I think Mac is an excellent choice. I know a lot of coders prefer Mac to Windows as well, at least that was the case years ago when I got into JavaScript/Web Development.
Jolly good video. Very pro. Are you not happy with the two-finger right-click? I find it excellent and intuitive. I'm with you on the mouse but it is intended for you to place the palm of your hand across the mouse and after using it for just a few days my RSI was improving slightly-but I mostly use the trackpad with my iMac. I've been a Mac user since '99; I'm glad you made the leap.
Hey broski, you can drag the window over and keep it full screen. Try swiping four fingers up on your track then drag the entire window to the other monitor.
Regards the window dragging; change desktops (swipe or Ctrl+Left/right) so the window isn't your main window, then show desktops (swipe or ctrl+up) then drag the desktop preview in the mission control bar.
I agree that most of the experience is about product integration. I committed the mistake of having a Mac and a Galaxy phone, and then a Windows and an iPhone. Both were lame experiences. I currently have a high end HP laptop, Samsung phone, Lenovo tablet, Sony headphones, OnePlus earbuds, Garmin smart watch, Kasa Smart lights, switches and stuff, and Amazon echo devices; according to what I think is the best available product in the market whenever I need a change. I can't tell you how much I love my ecosystem. Product integration has been marvelous for me, as I am able to determine what brand has the best product for me instead of one alone making those decisions (limiting, in my opinion) for me. It's a bummer that I can't use apple products, as I am sure that at least one of their products would be the best in the market in my opinion (maybe the earphones, or even their MacBook pro) I am sure though, that I would also love the product integration and ecosystem that comes with using Apple devices only. Bottom line though, I think it's not about the software of brands, it's about high quality products, and ALL Apple products are high quality, that's the difference, and that is why it gives the impression of superiority.
And you didn't even discovered all the power tools, that integrate very well into the os and make you get stuff done faster. I.e. Alfred, keyboard maestro etc.
I feel the exact same way. I switched and I absolutely love how smooth the software is. Great video. I subscribed. The right click is press with two fingers. Or tap with 2 fingers if tap to click is enabled. It's the same way on Windows so i was confused why you were confused lol
I've been a Mac user for just a bit longer than you...since 1985. The first Mac I used was the Mac Plus with a tiny screen, 20G external drive that made clunky noises! What did the deal for me was the environment and the experience it provided. You could just do stuff without having to think about the hardware which was transparent. At that time a lot of computer users did not like Macs because they couldn't pull off the back and fiddle with the internals. I had no interest in that as I just wanted to use the thing and be productive. Ive just bough my umpteenth Mac, an M2 Mac Studio. The deal is still pretty much the same as it was back then, apart from the clunky noises. You just plug it in, load up your apps and get to work. The other major issue is reliability. Ive had numerous Macs over the years and without exception they all lasted till what I wanted to do exceeded their hardware. Wanting to edit HD, then 4K etc. then import and edit uncompressed RAW 61MP images from my Sony A7R5. Though in all honesty my 2020 Intel Mac was still capable though becoming a tad sluggish on occasions in FCP. With Apple products you do pay a premium but all the products just work and come work together in a seamless way. Airdrop is one of those features that once you have it you think wow how did I get bay without it. In the end I won't say Apple is best rather it's just a matter of taste. IF you are a visual creator then I would advise Apple though for hard core gaming it would have to be a PC.
When considering longevity of the computer and value of time saved pulling your Windows hair out, are you SURE that you are actually paying a premium on Mac? I computed it all and found out it's a 40% savings, rather than a premium.
you could well be right. Having never been an active windows user Ive never given that angle much thought. Ive always just wanted to use the computer to do what I do and not get in the way; film, photography and in the past 3d modelling and design. The Mac has always allowed me to get on with my work ....well mostly as it's not infalible.@@freecivweb4160
I used to hate any kind of apple products growing up. It just wasn't as enticing or easy for me to use as Windows was. However, after the release of the M1 and going to college, I made the full switch to Apple and have loved every part of the last 3 years with them. It makes my life so much easier and really allows me to commit to being paperless which is something I couldn't do with Windows/Android.
I had the same experience growing up. Maybe it has something to do with aging as well, but when I was younger I was more into having something that was fully customizable and something I was in control of fully. Now I just want something that works as intended out of the box without any major headaches.
Exactly! Windows is great for that very reason but I mainly used it for gaming. Now I don't have that kind of time. I need efficiency ease of use and apple does that for me.
Macs are silly. I'm a windows power user and having two displays to work with is such a breeze. Plus pc master race > mac metal. I don't even game a lot but having the ability to do it once in a while makes the difference to me. It has to be said that my work is more around excel and word files, not editing photos and videos, so I guess I'm just not the target audience.
I cant make the move and switch. I have bought an iMac 2013. i7, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD. I alsaw always had windows laptop. Last two years Asus G15. I don't have any other Apple devices so I don't see Apple hype. I love windows shortcuts, customizations..... I don't care if I render videos 10 minutes instead of 7. I don't care if Asus battery life is 5 hours instead of 8. I paid cca 2500€ for Ryzen 9, 48 GB RAM, 1TB SSD. MACbook pro is a few €€€more. I paid 800€ for Samsung s23 ultra. I get more for the same money and I am selling iMac
Do you guys prefer Windows or Mac?
Linux
Both, Mac for work and Windows for Gaming
linux lol to be honest if you could install and use some solution and you are not hook in apple ecosystem , its pretty good.
Else if you had money yes mac its fine.
But i would say Windows for gaming and Mac/Linux(depend on your job) for working . Actually with proton linux is actually better for gaming that mac lol
Mac, cause I've got a lot of apple devices and it just makes everything easier. The design as well is one of the main reasons.
Mac for sure, I personally have a windows 10 machine and a Mac, and when I try to use the windows machine it's so frustrating because it is always updating, and windows 10 is so confusing and frustrating compared to macOS + MacOS can have Final Cut Pro which is my preferred editing software, and even though my MacBook is 9 years old it handles my 1080p videos fine (most of the time) because apple designs their apps around there software and hardware to make most of them.

Not a single Linux comment? What a letdown

Windows to Mac is like Nokia to iPhone. All i remember are the nostalgic wallpaper and ringtones.
I've been using Macbook Air M1 since March and I would be happy to switch to Windows.
I cannot get used to their OS, it's still weird for me
Fair enough, it’s not for everyone!
There is a right click. Gotta change the settings.
You can set the right click to the bottom right corner of the trackpad. You can edit trackpad settings in Settings.
