    I purchased the M3 max MacBook Pro 16" and LOVE how big the screen is and super FAST, yet very thin and light. Thank you for taking time to make this video, I learned a lot. I am new to the MacBook and found all of your tips very helpful. I have been a longtime user of apple iPhone and iPad, and recently started editing video taken on my iPhone using FinalCut Pro, but that software is for apple only, so that was a good excuse to get a MacBook. I did spend a lot, but I figure it's worth the investment because I only buy a new computers about every 5 years and have no patience for slow computers.

    I just got a MacPro M3 and I haven't had a new Mac since 2012. I really appreciated your video! You did go a little fast for newbie me but I slowed down the video speed and that resolved haha. If I turned off the cloud for my MAC- could I still access photos thrown up on the cloud from my phone on my MAC? That part I am a little confused on. Thanks for the video it was GREAT! The most helpful tip for me was the 3 finger on my track pad so I can drag things and just have a tap instead of pressing on the track pad.

    @PDASEX 3 месяца назад

    Thanks for the tips! I got the MacBook Pro M3 Max 16 inch. It made the most sense to me in order to optimize my experience with bigger fans keeping the system running cool and quiet while also maximizing the M3 Max chip capabilities. I’m so glad I didn’t get the 14 inch. The assistants at Apple were adamant about convincing me that the 14 inch would be better because the 16 inch is heavy but it’s not that heavy or big to me. This 16 inch is replacing my old 2013 27 inch iMac. It’s quite powerful, versatile for on the go use and big enough to make me not miss my old screen or feel limited without a second screen. What the Apple assistants either didn’t know or wouldn’t tell me is, the 14 inch M3 Max experience’s higher temperatures causing the system to work harder to optimize its capabilities which means more fan noise as it struggles to keep the system cool during high performance tasks. No regrets with my MacBook Pro M3 Max 16 inch! … although it could have been cheaper XD
