    I've watched a few "first steps" videos and so far you rank top 5. I've watched some of your first utilities videos and I've even paid for some of them. You do an awesome job with the presentation. With smooth, quick transitions you hit the high points.

    Really useful video from someone coming from the PC world. Thanks man, I would be so lost. Did you ever learn on a PC when you got into software development or was it always on the Mac? I love my new Macbook Pro M2. Still takes a little getting used to but it's so much better than anything available on a PC IMO.

  • @microsoft.co.u

      Happy to hear it was helpful, Neil! How’s the new Mac so far?
      Are you looking for MacBook-specific shortcuts, or shortcuts for all apps? CheatSheet (one of the recommended apps in my recent Mac Apps video) is brilliant for quickly providing all shortcuts for any application you have open 👍🏼

    awesome content Chris this was really helpful info!
    I have a quick question about the battery life. I just upgraded from my 2016 MacBook to an M2 MacBook Air so it was strange for me when my laptop recommended me to have the computer attached to the AC so as to not use the battery. Would you recommend I have my MacBook always on the AC when I am at home to preserve the battery for longer? I am not very tech savvy so not even sure if I have the right idea lol thank you!

  • @aelaan12
    @aelaan12 Před rokem

    With the three or more desktops, each occupying memory space, how much RAM did you go for? I feel I made a big mistake when I purchased the MBP, I use the 16", and I should have gone for the 32Gb. Also, holding down the command button you can drag the icons no longer needed in the menu bar.

      I didn’t include it in the video, but there are more trackpad gestures you can customize too. All of the gestures can be programmed to the MX master/anywhere 3, too.
      Also not included in the video, but something you might get use out of are Hot Corners on the mac 👍🏼
