    This video is a godsend. I have wanted a Macbook for ages. I finally got my first one today and I've been so overwhelmed just trying to get used to the system that I was starting to panic and thinking I made a huge mistake but these videos are really helpful. And the more of them I watch, the more comfortable I feel. Didn't realize there'd be this big of a learning curve coming from Windows 😅

    I hoped this video would provide me with the essential guidance I need as a first time user of a Mac Mini. The entire introduction makes all sorts of assumptions that the viewer is expected to already know. It rattles along at far too high a speed, thus preventing any note taking to easily occur. At times words are gabbled, requiring several rewinds to translate comments. All of these disappointing features put me off proceeding further within the first few minutes. This video is NOT for inexperienced viewers because there are too many examples of poor teaching/ learning methods. A revised approach to how to present such a video would be welcome, rather than the presenter seemingly churning out another video for his own collection.

      @@ThisIsE The point is if you’re going to make a video about settings, most of the people who watch it are going to be beginners. Experienced users already know which settings they like, so obviously most of the viewers are going to be beginners. Makes sense. So, it’s important to NOT SKIP STEPS. Again, it’s important to go step by step. Why? Because, again, 99.9% of the people watching are beginners. I watched the entire video and found a lot of good info that helped me out a lot. But I had to google HOW TO DO most of the stuff you were showing BECAUSE YOU SKIPPED LOTS OF STEPS. Now why is skipping steps bad in this kind of video?
