Күн бұрынCan you use an Android device with a MacBook? Of course you can. There is no reason you can't use an Android smartphone with a MacBook. Sure there are some features you are missing out on, but majority of the laptop features will still be usable.

I'm a big Macbook / Samsung phone (s21) user. For file transfers I use Dropbox. If I want to share a url link from my phone to my laptop I simply copy/paste the link into Facebook, setting the privacy setting of the post to "me only". As for browsers, my late 2013 Macbook tends to run a little hot these days and Safari is the biggest offender, so I use a Chrome browser.

@@engel2702 I don't think a samsung branded laptop is really necessary. Just install link to windows and set it up with your phone. The Samsung integration is way ahead of the regular android implementation and IMO the BEST feature is being able to sync/share your clipboard between devices. Crop screenshot something on your PC and you can immediately pick up your phone and paste the image in a message.

@engel2702 Don't get a Galaxy Book. Go for a MacBook. I eventually bought a Galaxy Book 360 Pro (returned), then a Galaxy Book Ultra (returned), then finally a new MacBook Pro M2. Both the Galaxy Books had the same bluetooth connectivity issues, and the Galaxy Book Ultra bluescreened on the first day of use, and the quality of the touchpads and keyboards were subpar, not even in the same ballpark. The screens however were gorgeous (both OLED), but they were the only thing that was good about these laptops. Windows 11 is still awful, and the Samsung ecosystem with their laptops is buggy, unintuitive, and flat out ugly.

I love Android phones, but I only have macs (at home a mini, at work an iMac and a Macbook Pro in my bag), so I could not give up the perks, earbuds, everything involved in the process. If you only have an Android, yes, you can make it work, but if you have to choose between an iPhone and a Samsung, I think you should pick the iPhone 10 times out of 10.
