      ThQ for your recommendations!
      You talk about ssd drives, and here in nz we are paying more then 6x the price of the best 1TB Samsung ssd recommended for their MacBook Air. I wasted an hour with Apple trying to get to their rational sadly for this with no success.
      So my 1st question is, can you load and run apps from an external ssd?
      I bit the bullet yesterday and ordered the M1 Air with 16 unified RAM and 1TB of storage after hearing in the stores the speakers of all the M2s compared to the 13in M1 finding it better than all of them in sound and a few hundred dollars cheaper. I am regretting it now because I thought it would have the magnetic charging dongle and I now see that the M3 is supposedly coming out in October...should I cancel my order and wait for the M3?
      ThQ in advance!!!

    I recently bought a mac and I've been watching many videos on how to use a macbook and be more productive. You were the first one to pop up and I couldn't stop myself from watching all your videos They're all so well detailed and I can tell you put a lot of effort into your videos. Keep up the good work, love your videos!

    WOW! I have been a Mac guy since 1995 and this will bring my productivity to a whole new level. The lack of opening and closing windows all day will definitely be an asset. I never cared much for Spotlight, so I never really used it. This however will be my daily go to. So glad I stumbled upon your video "Top 10 BEST Mac Apps for Productivity". Snagged a couple more that will be useful from here as well. Thanks Chris!

    Okay, Alfred is my new favourite thing. As someone with ADHD whose mind is in ten different places at once, being able to access everything I need to from the same place without having to manually jump between apps will up my productivity by a mile.
    If I eventually get the PowerPack, workflows will be my number one tool.

      I’m with you - opening the app and seeing the convoluted settings can be daunting! It steered me away from the app several times over the years. Hopefully this video helped provide some clarity and insight into some useable features and workflows for you to get more use out of the app 👍🏼

    @christopherlyons7613 6 дней назад

    Thanks for the video. Definitely think you should do a video on Workflows and an update on Alfred 5.5 would be useful.
    Have a question on the clipboard manager. Does it allow you to store your clips into folders? For instance I may be researching a topic and find text, images, sites, etc. that are relevant. Instead of just dropping all these into a global clipboard it would be really helpful if you could setup folders and drop clips as they occur into specific folders. This would make it so much easier to easily access all relevant clips by just selecting which folder you want and then see all associated clips.

    This is a very helpful video. Do you have a video for "rectangle"?

      Happy to hear! No dedicated video on rectangle, but I’d be happy to make one

      @@Christomshack I was able to figure most of it out. Lot of shortcuts. Also, Max has their own shortcuts too (I realized that yesterday). Lots of learning.
      If you can make a video about rectangle, it’ll be great.
