    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

CapCut? And how difficult and long did it take? I’d like to make videos like this. Basically screen recording everything I’m doing, or have a screen that’s screen recording the screen. And then be able to do all those zoom in zoom outs, panorounds etc you do?

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.
