@@shadeshiest22 i think Windows is a bit more user friendly :) But Macbook is an amazing device you feel the quality. If you are familiar to Linux, you will be comfortable, if you are not, it take some time to adjust :) Mac Pros: I like the quality, simple OS, safe OS, Cons: there are Dock and App Bar, so you have less screen use, closing an app is not closing an app ir is cleaning data but not closing app :), sticking windows on right or left is easy and default in OS, in MacOS you have to buy an app for it :) you can track the speed of copying file on Windows, not on mAcOS... these are the first list i can remember :) I hope you will be happy to use it :)

When I first got my Mac I watched a ton of these videos. But this is by far the best one I've seen. You did a fantastic job at breaking down everything and comparing it directly to windows. This would have saved me so much time if I would have found it eight months ago. Keep up the great work!

@ThomasMuehler Жыл бұрын

@@timieDD Yes, I do. There are things that I enjoy about it over Windows. Especially, since I'm heavy in the Apple ecosystem (iPad, Apple TV, iPhone, Apple AIrPods, etc.). But still find some things to be frustrating where I prefer Windows. But part of that could still be that Windows is more natural to me (as I've used it waaayyy longer). But I'm at the point that both feel natural to me and have gotten good at shortcuts and stuff like that. Also, much prefer Apple Laptops over anything Windows has to offer. As you just can't beat the sum of all the parts (mousepad, keyboard, battery life, size, shape, weight, screen, OS, etc.).

@ethangeorge6313 Жыл бұрын

Great video, but just some points to note: 1. cut and paste IS an option on MacOS (Yes, I am aware of the disclaimer that said it works with text). In most apps, Cmd-X works just as intended and is just like Windows. But in apps like Finder, Cmd-C copies and Cmd-V pastes it OR Cmd-Option-V cuts and pastes it. 2. The part where you described the Dock was misleading since that is not how the Dock behaves by default (out of the box), a few settings are tweaked in this video. By default, app windows do not minimize into their respective app icons in the Dock, but towards the right side beside the Bin. By default, when an app that isn't pinned to Dock is quit, it doesn't disappear but remains in the recents section of the Dock. To make the Dock behave as intended in this video, the following settings must be changed - System Pref > Dock & Menu Bar > Minimize windows into app icon > Toggle on - System Pref > Dock & Menu Bar > Show recent applications in Dock > Toggle off Don't get me wrong; this video contains everything there is a beginner is to know. Just doing my part here.

I also added the Applications folder to the dock, so it kinda acts like the traditional Windows start menu. I have a lot of apps and rather than tediously rearranging it, I'd rather use that or just use Spotlight. Also, I put the Applications' icon for it, so it looks proper.

I recently dived head first into the Apple ecosystem, and have really been enjoying it so far. The simplicity and continuity, reliability of the products really help get things done more efficiently. There were a few basic elements which I really miss and hope you consider adding in the near future to MacOS. 1. A Windows snapping tool (A simple tool to easily move and resize window). (Drag windows to the corners of the screen and it snaps into quarters. Use side edges to arrange horizontal and vertical halves.) 2. A clipboard manager. (Apple's clipboard provides only one buffer for the "copy and paste" function, and it is overwritten by each new "copy" operation. The main task of a clipboard manager is to store data copied to the clipboard in a way that permits extended use of the data). 3. The ability to double click on an apps icon, in order to close it. 4. The ability to create a custom app icon in the app drawer for Gmail and Google keep etc. These are the 4 most used interactions on a daily basis that can save hundreds of hours over the course of time, and make the experience with macOS more convenient and seamless. Thank you very much for the incredible work and looking forward to these 4 new features!

@Ankush.8 Жыл бұрын

You can overcome some of these limitations. 1. Use a window manager. Rectangle is the best free I've found, alternatives like swish is also good for trackpad based window management. 2. Use maccy. If you install it using command line (via homebrew) it's free. I personally used it with shift + Cmd + V. But now I use raycast's built in clipboard manager (also invoked using the same key combination). 3. I believe Cmd + Q is intuitive enough. 4. Custom app icons can be created using the info panel in Finder. Cmd + I on an application or file will bring up it's info-window. Just drag your desired image file on to the place of the current icon

I am getting excited about switching over to an iMac from a Windows PC, next week. Your presentation, voice and visuals, are soooooooo good. I have been a Windows/Android user but moved over to an iPhone because of my hearing aids (the sound and connections are so much easier and better). I decided that the ability to use both iPhone and Windows has been cumbersome and that there would be so much more 'connection' with a Mac that I decided to switch. You are going to make me transition, so much easier! Thank you!
