Did you pick up an M3 MacBook Air, or are you planning to?
I am planning to but also considering paying a little bit more for the Pro. What would you recommend?
@@al4realzif you don’t depend on really high levels of sustained performance, I say go buy the MBA. MBA already is super powerful, and Apple Silicon chips all offer the same single core performance. The differences are in adding more of those CPU cores and for the GPU, when you spec up to the higher end M3 Pro/Max and yet to be announced Ultra. Because MBA is a fanless computer, it will not be able to deliver the same sustained performance as M3 MBP with a fan. But again, you only should care about that if you depend on it. 98% of people get more performance from MBA than they need.
I’m waiting for my yearly bonus. The the order goes in.
Edit: I got my 15” M3 24GB/1TB a week ago and the thing is a flamethrower compared to my old intel 27” iMac! I love it!
Just had an M3 16 gb 512SSD in silver delivered, using for day to day but also Serato and music storage for DJ’ing so got plenty of headroom.
These are great tips mate, thanks for this.
@@tallbaldpaul awesome, enjoy your new Mac!
As a 25-year PC user I just bought my Macbook Air 13" and this is the most valuable video I've seen. Clear, concise, well-produced, no wasted time or words. I took pages of notes and will return to watch it several more times as I learn to use my Mac. Thank You!
I was so hung up on getting an Ipad air M2 13 inch but then I saw I can get Macbook air M3 for the same price and as a dell user my whole life, I'm still debating. But people are saying Macbook purchase should come first before an iPad. what do u think?
omg i never knew you can customize the finder window toolbar! thank you so much for the tip!!
Lots of useful tips Brandon! 😎 thanks so much 🙏
Thank you for posting! You got right into it and you quickly moved on to each tip. I appreciate that!
Nice video dude, I just followed along on the m3 air I just got and it's set up better than the Mac mini I've had for years :D
Thanks, Brad.....clear and easy to follow.
Thanks for telling us about Pastepal!
Thank you so much for your video regarding best method to start with an M3 MacBook Air. I find all your videos most instructive and helpful. I watch each one other as they appear.
Hello Brandon, thank you so much for this very useful video. I just want to to take a help from you. How can we access word, xcell files in Mac since I have a new Mac.
Brandon, you're the GOAT ... a lot of useful tips. Thanks man!
Appreciate that Chris!
Fantastic tips and information. Thank you for sharing this.
PastePal user here. Love it!
Thanks 😊 for the exact video that I needed!
nice! Which model did you pick up?
I got the 13 inch. It’s arriving on the 22. By the way thanks for responding.
Excellent, thank you!
thank you! this was amazing. I have never really looked into changing anything on my green iMac and I just got the M3 air! super excited to try some of these to make things easier and more modern. great tips
Glad it helped!
Great Video! Thanks so much! :)
Great video thank you! Getting my MacBook Air on Monday and this is a huge help!
Awesome! Which color did you go with?
@@BrandonButch I went with the midnight color. Can’t wait to get it!
Thank you very much. Great video I learned a lot from this as I am new to Apple products
Thank you!!!!
w vid thx for all the tips. used windows my whole life first time with Mac very helpful thx💯
This information is very useful. I'm looking forward to own one soon.
I just bought the MacBook Air M3. New to Mac. I bought 256 storage, wish I got bigger but plan on just using external HD. Just learned so much with yr video here, I am going to have to rewatch it again to capture it all. This has been very enlightening. Thank you.
Me too 😅
ALWAYS GOOD CONTENT B….
Just great
ill literally subscribe just because of the three finger drag lol I never knew this. game changer
Great Vid Brandon! (my m3 macbok air being delivered tomorrow)
Nice! Awesome video bro! 😊
thanks!
3 finger drag is life.
Shrek is love
Shrek is life 🐉🀄️🇾🇹
Nice vid buddy, not related to the video but does True Tone on iPhone drains battery life?
Fantastic
Just got mine in starlight today :)
w video as always Brandon!!!!! ❤
ma man 🤝
What is the best solution to easily switch from using work HP computer to MacBook Air M3 using the same external dual display monitors. My current HP DOC dos not seem to do the trick only mirrors the dual display 4K monitors
What's the name of your clipboard manager? I couldn't really get the name of it... Thanks
I just got this model but I'm having trouble transferring large files from my 2011 MacBook Pro.. any tips? They have different USB/Thunderbolt ports and I believe my old MacBook doesn't support Mirgation.
I'm having trouble synching my iPhone 14 Pro Max to iTunes. But works fine when synching to the cloud.
Just got my base model today 😊
I am new to Mac Book. I just purchased the new Mac Book Air M3 a couple of days ago and trying to get used to it and learn how to use it. I also have a HP and that's what I'm used to using so this is really different for me. I am trying to figure out how to open a new window in the browser. How do you do that? I am learning a lot from your video and it's very helpful to someone like me who's coming from a Windows PC.
I just got my first ever Mac as well just a couple days ago (incidentally an M3 MacBook Air). You may have already figured it out but you can press command+t and it will open a new tab in the browser. Interestingly, this also works in finder. Both of which I figured out by accident. My guess is this works in just about any app that has tabs.
Hi Brandon , something unpleasant happened to me here in the Netherlands ! 😰Before iOS 17.4 with my 14 pro max I could select the texts of a screenshot or photo and copy them but not anymore! Now only browser texts! Does it happen only to me or to others too? What can I do ? Thanks in advance !!!
Maybe someone could help me?
Thanks for sharing. I’m not planning on getting the M3 Air. Blessings on your day.
Been on Mac for years, never had clue that you could change the icon on web apps 😅
Upgraded from the m1 air and I noticed a huge difference.
When I wanted to add pinterest to my dock, I cannot see that option like add the dock. I wonder why
Hey Brandon love the vid but is there any difference between the setup of the m2 MacBook air or can I watch that instead?
Not much of a difference, so you can watch either one!
Thanks keep up the great work man!
Also getting the 15in m3 in a few weeks so this helps a lot!!
Nvm getting 13in m3
just got my m3 air and the first thing I did was also update and turn off natural scrolling I hate it so much 😂
haha exactly! Both are must-do's!
Are u gonna mention about the heating issue?
They still haven’t fixed show date when space allows to actually work (it worked in macOS 12 but not 13-14).
Wait, you want the content to follow the direction that your fingers are moving, so you turn off Natural Scrolling? I'm so confused.
I mean the scrolling to follow the direction of my gesture. So when my fingers swipe down, the content goes down
Just got mine today MacBook Air 13 m3 2024 I'm using your setup right now as I am typing lol
Magnet app is a must
Highly do not recommend doing the last step - disabling Desktop to Cloud. My Mac got broken, and I was able to restore my desktop on a new one only because it was ON!
Do you have problems with the heat of the CPU? I read an article that says the CPU gets way too hot during heavy tasks? who else suffers from this? because the MacBook Air has no fan
No issues whatsoever for me
Cleanshot x seems to no longer be available?
Noticed as well 😮
hello brandon
0:12 Why can’t Apple just release the iPads NOW and once we set it up, we update to that “tweaked” version of iPadOS 17.4?? Why wait until that “tweaked” version of iPadOS 17.4 is ready?
Because if it’s still called 17.4 and not 17.4.1 or 17.5, users could get confused when they’re already on 17.4 and see an update for “17.4”.
Does ANYONE leave Natural Scrolling ON?
Somehow most of my friends do. And my parents lol
Hi
I wish I could afford one.
Cleanshot is nice, but I rather Shottr
Eh, I prefer CS. I've used about 12 screenshot apps at this point lol
I have an SSD backup because it is so fast. I also have an auto backup every 24 hours.
I think this is essential.
i have samsung 860 evo, how do i use it as external SSD for my MacBook? what cable do I need?
In the past I used an SSD, then when I ran out of space I realized that speed is irrelevant, since it's on autopilot. So I upgraded to a 8TB HDD that's just always plugged in now
Ahhh... cleanshot X is not free.., a shame.. or was it free for you?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
woo
Just give me MX already
I like how you speak very clear and enunciate the words like few content creators.
Is it just me or does the audio quality on the video sound terrible?
It’s the lack of pop filter. Sibilant AF.
How so? I was closer to the mic this time around so maybe that's why..
@@BrandonButch possibly. Did you have the pop filter on?
@@tboyfres Nope, never have. Never had any complaints about audio before either. Must have just been a tad too close this time
First thing to do: Return it and get a M2 refurbished or discounted, rather than buying the M3 MacBook Air.
Not worth it for only $200 difference imo
This is waaaay more than 23 things….
Pick up a fan? Everything else is the same as the M1 and M2.
first
Nobody cares.
2nd!
@@Bentheman24 lol
@@BrandonButch it’s true
macbook air waste of money i prefer macbook pro because better screen
What’s up guyssss.. that’s irritating to be honest.
Please change the intro
y
also, not gonna happen lol
nah its iconic
@@BrandonButch 🔥
Please change your attitude
Almost the same as the M1. 👎
That’s not a bad thjng. It means the M1 was already so good. They nailed these machines.
the first update slows down ur Mac
