There’s one accessibility feature on the MacBook that I really enjoy as a low vision person myself. It’s the ability to hover over words to make them bigger, without having to use the “lens’ or blow up the entire screen. Sometimes you just want to be able to enlarge the words and paragraphs as your reading instead of zooming the entire screen. I looked on my windows Pc for this same feature, but it doesn’t exist. So, I’ll give the edge to Apple on that one!
Thanks for the video. I use dual monitors: a 32" repurposed TV monitor and a 43" LG computer monitor. I can't imagine life without my 43" monitor
@llazare good to hear form you. I have a quick question for you, how do you connect the TV to your computer: USBC or thunderbolt?
@@LegallyBlindGeek, both my monitors are connected via HDMI. I use a Mac Mini with an external hub
Thanks.
Thanks, this was helpful. Mom is 81, deaf, and now has MD. She’s very frustrated with her vision issues and she wants a Mac laptop. You’ve given me a good place to start.
@darleneprickett5988, thanks for watching and finding this video on the best computer for low-vision.
Accessibility settings such as spoken content make the iMac and MacBook my computers of choice. I hope you find something that works for your mom.
Stay safe, make it great day.
I use a MacBook Pro and use an app named Vivid which doubles the brightness of the display. Really helps me! 🙂
This is so helpful thank you!
I enjoy your content.You give genuine responses.
Thanks for the advices 😊
Good to hear from you.
Thanks . I recently lost one eye and losing my vision the other eye. I am looking into buying some tech purchases that will help me. I'm
@racheliselin750, sorry to hear about your eye loss. There are many high and low tech devices that might help you overcome low vision challenges.
Hand held magnifiers are a good place to start. These types of low-vision devices are generally a low cost option.
Be well, make it a great day and let me know how I might help.
Thanks for watching the Legally Blind Geek.
I think a larger display is helpful for someone who is legally blind like myself. I do better with a larger display.
@larrytestut4655, What display do you like, do you have a favorite display?
@@LegallyBlindGeek I don’t, but I use one when I go to the library where I live
