Windows is a toy for gamers. Macs are made to do things.

Bought my son a Macbook back in 2010. When he quit using it I gave it to my brother in law. He's still using it!
@allanjones4283

Another nice thing about using the MacBook is that it's not sucking in dust, smoke, debris, or whatever else when you're operating with it out in the field.
@revadan
Am an apple pro user… but eversince i started ham radio back in the 90s.. and using mixW, mmsstv, psk31, packet radio… and now ft8 ft4 .. im still using windows apps .. windows for ham radio here..
@BradSnyder1
Pretty cool Mike! At least you can get everything done on it that you need.
@mark12.31
Cool to see that Macs are becoming more useable in the ham radio world. You're right, one of those older Airs like that (or even older) would likely work just find for most people (especially those who don't need to do video editing). I had to watch this more than once to catch everything but that's the advantage of KZfaq. I thought some of those apps were still Windows-only so it's good to see the evolution of them to being Mac-friendly, as well.

Hey look Mom, I’m KZfaq famous… great video Mike. 73 from KI5PRK
@Pilgrim420
Cool stuff 👍
@ferrysengun1692
Hi Mike, wow, your video is really brilliant. Once again, I've learned a lot. I would like to thank you very much for your work here on KZfaq. Greetings Ferry, HB9FEV
@tomrut3653
I’m with you on this Mike.

First off I am brand new to ham and I really not very computer savvy. And 6 years ago when my last windows crapped out I got my first MacBook Air which I still use every day and a Mac mini also where every year or two I had to replace the crapy windows computers. And I never dreamed it would be so diffcult finding ham software and programs for Mac. its crazy there isn't more out there. So thank you so much and I hope you do more of this type of content 🙏
@N9PPX_Chris_Rhyno
My wife and I just got the same MacBook Air! It was a great deal! See you at Dayton!
@K3JRZOnTheAir
Congrats on the new MacBook Air! Once you go Mac, you never go back... The MacBook Air is a via option for me once my 2019 iPad Pro bites the dust. It does everything I need it to do when I'm portable.I've been making plans to retire my 2017 iMac within the next 6-8 months. 73!
@JJ-el8li
I simply went to Linux from Windows and cutout the bloatware from both Microsoft and Apple.
@k2cjbradio
YES YES YES!! I couldn’t agree with you more about Microsoft and Win-doze. I have an old HP in my shack that I absolutely hate. Years ago I looked for ham radio software/apps for Mac and there just weren’t any. You my friend have given me hope! Thank you!!! 73 de K2CJB
@JA1BJT
Nice video.
@quadmods
Finally someone that appreciates one of the best products Apple makes, the Magic Mouse. May I suggest you check out a usb-c multi function hub with PD changing input. That way you don’t lose a port to charging. Great pace and concise information, cheers 👍
