Why do people seem so polarized over platforms?
Just use both and use whichever one you prefer. Being a fanboy over one platform just makes one look foolish.
Well I am a fan of better technology. I am a fan of better price for my technology. Most importantly I am a fan of technology that is highly customization and logical.
In all of those counts, PC wins. Apple is more expensive for the same level, and the price of a car for a half decent laptop. Mac is hardly customisable, and isnt logical at all. MAC is a scam. Simple.
Agree with You, I have both and they have their own purposes😉😊
thanks
Then there's Linux.
it's more likely depends on your needs.
ummmm....Have you never heard of Snipping Tool. its built into windows.
+Victor Lockwood (SOA Gaming) I talked about it in the video.
well he is new to the operating system give him a break
Victor Lockwood, Though Greenshot is still better.
ummmm..... Did you watch the video? Jon talks about Snipping Tool in this video........
+TechnoBuffalo Yes, but you said you couldn't take a screenshot of something specific. When Snipping Tool dose exactly that.
Hey you guys want to hear a joke? Mac gaming... hahahahaahhaah... gets me every time.
SeKToR wanna hear a better joke? Mac ....
People like you give Windows users a bad name
Connor Fin no he doesnt im on windows and i approve hes comment, i even further elaborated on it
Bob Swaget
that makes you another person that gives windows users a bad name
King0097 bro ...who gives a fuck if i will get a "bad name" among a bunch of mentally impaired man child who actually pay more money for much less with a apple logo?
Apple users are straight up retarded and they chosen to be
@TechnoBuffalo use windows snipping tool to crop an image to the desired size (no need for additional software since it's built into windows)-. It can be done fast press the windows key then type in snip or even sn is enough and hit enter and there you go 1-2 seconds of work
Robin Clarijs or even just put it on the Taskbar ☺️
even better, OneNote has the same functionality with Win+N,S
It can be done faster now since the new update. Windows key + print screen has been in there since W8 but now you can use screen sketch under the ink work space to crop and sketch
Robin Clarijs Or just tell Cortina to open it for you
Clearly you've never used MacOS print screen. I use Windows in work and MacOS at home, the snipping tool even with a shortcut is one step frustratingly longer than MacOS.
A mail app?! You are using a PC, why don't use a proper program like Outlook or Thunderbird?
tonTeufel Because in most cases, a mail app has everything you need. If you need more than what it gives you, _then_ you get a mail client.
I was wondering the same thing...
N Studios but he didn't like the original mail app because of a lack of festures, then he used Windows again and searched for another, found none. At that you point you clearly go for a real client.
Also, mails are part of his work, he is doing that professionally, I don't understand, why you would restrict yourself like that. I use a fairly powerful mail app on my phone but I would never even think about using a Windows 10 mail app, or any app where there's a real program for
tonTeufel He literally said that he liked it after Microsoft made some updates to the app.
N Studios yeah, when he switched to it the second time, after he already searched and tried other apps, that's long after you just install Outlook
Actually you can take SCREENSHOT in Windows too. Press WinKey + Printscreen on your keyboard. That's all
WinKey does a lot of hidden things. Google it.
I always use the snipping tool
Dominic Natoli Same
OnlineMediaCollection you can just press the printscreen button right? It will copy the screen an you can paste it with ctrl + v
Just PrintScreen for the whole screen, Alt+PrintScreen for the active window.
win+shift+s
Switching from Mac to PC is definitely weird, but switching the other way around is super annoying. Mac isn't as well thought out in comparison.
Completely agree!!
Pete Jskksk I've always thought Windows is actually easier to use. I've given both platforms a fair chance.
Pete Jskksk It really all just depends on what you're used to at the end of the day. Windows sometimes has little details thay Mac leaves out. Mac is more of a package though
Mac OS is actually a lot better structured overall imo, in terms of the system structure, how apps are built, etc... with everything being a file and most stuff being a package... and so is Linux btw. Although I heard Windows actually moved a lot in this direction too over the last couple of years.
Well OSX is more closed than Windows so I'm not surprised.
How much of a tech person can you be if you don't even know how to use windows? Windows has 90% of the market share of the OS market.
TrueReality still takes time to take away some muscle memory
Actually in 2015 there were 14 times more Windows devices than MacOS devices sold. So the market share is getting bigger.
TrueReality you're going to be a grumpy old man one day.
Gaming Authority
Yeah its 90% Market share. Do some research gaming authority.
Tom X
No tom, its 90% market share. Do some research
I swear your channel is the most unbiased one I have ever seen. I have tired both operating systems and I have the same exact problems you have minus the signing documents. Thanks for all the amazing content you guys put out. Really appreciate having a UA-cam channel that I can rely on when making my next purchase
+Khaldoun Al-nuaimi thank you for that, we really try.
you must not have seen dave lee
Arpit Bharti actually I am subbed to him as well. I am basically subbed to like 90% of the tech UA-cam channels out there😂. Dave's problem is that he avoids comparisons. I am an indecisive person so I always try to get the products I want to buy compared by someone else so that I make my decision
As an artist I have to use both.
My personal preference is Windows.
lol you're one of those stock artists in Microsoft's commercials ? lol
You would be doing art work for 7 more years on a Mac than you would on a windows machine
i learnt the windows can do everything better ok bye
Why don't you make your own youtube profile with your own name?
1 print screen(alt+print screen for just the active window), crop in paint?
2 file explorer>view>preview pane
I kind of just stick with gmail in chrome, does everything I need so dunno why you need an app for that.
Eric Ling the Apple short-cur crops right off the bat. No need to take a picture of a larger area to capture a smaller one.
Nah, Windows has something called snipping tool for ages. No need to print screen and then go to Paint.
3 Use windows ink to take a screen sketch. You can crop, write on, save and share it.
You can also use Windows Key+Print Screen to take a screenshot which is saved as a PNG file in the Pictures folder.
Snipping Tool is another one that is built-in. Personally I highly recommend Snip from here mix.office.com/snip
Mail app in Windows 10 is indeed not that great but seems okay for most task. But if you are a Gmail user, that may not be best together sometimes.
Wow, that Windows Key+Print Screen thing is awesome. How long has that existed?
snipping tool comes with Windows all the way back since Vista in 2007
He mentioned the snipping tool.. but it still sucks in comparison.
what about using the surface pen to screenshot i think its much easier
well that would be a good feedback maybe they will make it too
yes.. so a 3rd party software or at least wait for that feature to come in windows.. im looking forward for a uwp app of whatsapp so that you wont need to bother sending by airdrop to phone and then to whatsapp.. this uwp of windows is better.
When I am working with my PC, i do not send stuff to my phone. I email it. I could see your personal preference being to send it to you phone, but not necessarily something you need to get used to with Windows. I can send shit to my windows phone with windows, but that doesn't work with all cellphones. Not really a great point or comparison.
You should try to enable Windows Ink Workspace. It enables you to take a screenshot, draw on it and crop it instantly :) You can enable it in settings under "Turn system icons on or off". Windows Ink Workspace will stay in your taskbar in the bottom right corner :)
That is so cool thanks!
You're welcome :D
For me, it's iOS for my phone and Windows for my laptop/desktop.
I find it interesting that on UA-cam, when someone switches away from Apple, the video gets a lot of likes. When someone switches to Apple, it gets hate?
Allen Douangchak true
Allen Douangchak same I have iOS for my phone but windows from my PC
Allen Douangchak I've seen cases of the opposite happening too, it's a mixed bag.
"Y u switch to shitty ass windows"
That person more than likely has always liked Apple and has never tried windows or Android or premier or whatever "better alternative". If it's Jon Retinger and not some wannabe mkbhd Millennial hipster then yeah it won't get a ton of dislikes.
Ron's video on this channel on going back to iOS has a ton of dislikes
Great video John, keep us updated on how the switch goes. Love your vids, much more fair and unbiased unlike some of the other "tech reviewers" on here that can be distracted by anything with a flashy bar, apple logo or google logo. Keep it up.
+Matt Cook thanks Matt.
Matt Cook and what about a microsoft logo?
I'm also switching from Mac to Windows, these videos are very helpful!
Yeah, other 'tech reviewers' are only open to testing everything Apple makes and any famous android phone, but no windows phone or windows PC.
ARL maybe because windows phone sucks, and so are 90% of the windows ready built pcs/ laptops...
An app not working in an Apple device: Apple will probably fix it in an update, just stick with it and it will become good.
App not working on competing devices: this is a bad product because it doesn't work now, don't buy!
Why does alot of reviews do these kind of things?
Vinddraken Because it's the truth. Apple is constantly pushing software updates and other manufacturers rarely do that. You'd be lucky if you get anything other that windows forcefully updated.
zezosk the truth? Jon stated in the video that Microsoft fixed a issue he had with their mail client, they fixed it in a update just like Apple would do!
Vinddraken you see that's my point. It's a Microsoft update, not a specific brand update. Hp or Lenovo, for example, might not push out updates for their hardware. My hp trackpad's drivers were updated after a year of suffering.
zezosk my statement was this: app from competing devices. Microsoft surfacebook is both hardware and software, a competing device. Google Nexus or Pixel is a competing device with hardware and software. There are many cases where Apple even states there is nothing wrong with their software or hardware, even so far that they drag someone to court if they point out security flaws.
I never understand people who blindly think one OS is better than the other. You can do everything with one that you can do with the other. Both have things that are better and things that are worse. I do web development on both and for me it comes down to the hardware. If I'm on a desktop I prefer a PC, if I'm on a laptop I prefer a mac.
Jordan Neenan same for me. when i was on the go, mac book pro was so much welcomed with the good battery life and that fab trackpad.. i've used without mouse. but for desktop i prefer Windows. it's more confortable and powerfull.
I couldn't completely agree anymore,only an idiot make silly comparison linux,mac,windows and chrome OS.
Unfortunately there are things I simply can not do on Windows, or do as well and quickly as I can on a Mac .
How on Earth can you make any comparison? They are exactly the same! ROTFL
If you're a TECH channel or any type of tech enthusiast....and don't use or are familiar with most os's....imo, you're not a real tech channel or anyone that appreciates tech.
This is so true
Perhaps he's an apple specialist or deals with hardware, or mobile devices..
Tech encompasses a lot of different things
JJop123 - Not necessarily in my opinion. There is a lot you can do in tech without knowing everything there is to know about one particular OS, no matter how popular it is. Maybe Windows was never in his niche market or audience, and that's perfectly fine. I'm glad he is expanding his horizons and looking to learn a new ecosystem (at least new to him). I've been following the channel for nearly 2yrs now, and I think they've been doing great.
Explain literally every Linux distribution then
The only thing that I want from Mac OS onto Windows is iMessage functionality.
I believe they are working on it.
Richard T probably not, it makes people buy Macs so don't hold your breath.
The Vegan Bear Because all his friends are using it? You can't just switch apps, you'd have no one to talk to..
***** I mean a similar functionality like iMessage for other phones, not iMessage working with W10.
skype messaging is the answer for that
for me windows for PC and android for phones!
Sukrith Krishnakumar I'm exactly the same
Sukrith Krishnakumar Same.
same
Sukrith Krishnakumar I have Windows on both because a lot of businesses actually put a lot of faith into Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile.
I'm hoping to replace my Lumia 650 with the HP Elite x3, when that time comes.
Technical Urdu Earn my attention.
Love this man. Always honest and fair. Cheers. You are a rare bread John.
+Michael Atkinson thanks Michael.
Daniel Karkawatli John's brother, Sour Dough, for the win
lmao.. oops
what I learned from this video is that he talks about very small details that no-one should care much about and that it can be added with 3rd party software. Honestly pretty weak imo.
Robin Clarijs are you in need of being grabbed by the... Well... You know. You seem the type that likes that. ;)
What prevents me from really considering switching back to Windows isn't the OS so much, though I find some of the UI changes frustrating to use, (I actually really do like Windows 7, and wish 10 was more like it in the UI) is the whole "ecosystem" with the iCloud and IOS, how it all integrate so nicely. Everything is so nicely connected, and from browser history to calendar reminders, and even when I buy music or a movie, it all appears instantly on all of my devices.
I know a lot of people who use both MacOS and Windows and like both. I've sed both as well, but enjoy using the Mac enough that I just sort of gravitated to it and found myself not using my Windows tower hardly ever.
compactc9 ironically OneDrive integration is what makes me very keen on using Microsoft products and services. I can literally have my computer settings and preferences along with all my files loaded on any new computer within 20 minutes of setup.
I'm the same with Windows. I have a Windows 10 PC, a W 10 tablet and a W10 phone. Take a photo in my phone and it appears on my PC and tablet. Set a reminder on my phone and it pops up on my tablet and PC. Save a Word document on my PC and I can open it on my tablet and phone and so on. Even if I change the desktop background on my tablet the same background appears on my PC, though I turned that off since my PC has three monitors and I want a different background.
I have Windows 10 and Vista, but when I upgraded to ssd I lost ability to boot to Vista.. If anyone knows how to fix this? Hit me up.. Please I miss my Vista gaming base..
For me macOS or windows is same 😂, well regarding synchronize i use Android then i can sync my calendar with my windows 10 also, and even my contact. For note i use onenote and it sync with my pc so when i taking notes in my pc i can read it later on my phone or even another computer thorough browser. I use Office 365 and have 1TB ondrive.
Actually for me it doesn't Matter which one is better, but how we use it. Everyone has different necessary.
Anyone else notice the video time length? 😏🍁🍃🌬💨
PUAKush Go away.
I know how to use both. they both have their strengths and not so good things about it.
Ronald's World and Opinions yup... if you're video editor and sound editor use mac, fcpx ftw... but if you're gamer, 3d animator, vfx artist, game dev, ect, ect, ect... windows ftw... for equivalent price...
underlord Video editing and photo editing is a mixed bag, if you use Adobes software a Windows PC has you covered just as well, the upgradability may make it the better pick for video editing with the better GPUs.
Windows has software that does sound and video just as well, if not better, than Mac. Native CUDA support to handle data crunching smashes competition, if the software supports it. You have a good point, but it is an old point.
NeedMoreMushrooms Adobe is good. they work on both. it's a little bit better on Windows because the of cuda if you're willing to spend to get it. you won't get it on a $500 computer that's for sure. Macs natively have the software built in to the computer to do that. But again, it's a toss up. I use both. can't say which one is better than the other in terms of user experience. definitely Windows is better at gaming. Macs can't do that.
Ronald's World and Opinions
CUDA is a method of NVIDIAs graphics cards, most Macs don't have a dedicated graphics cards and Apple now switched to AMD for theit cheaper solutions, you won't be able to utilize it on modern Macs.
Never touched a Mac but I have my 3 Windows desktops - Windows 98, Vista and 10 - All amazing PCs that still don't let me down!
William James Vista? Are you sure xD
Abnormaalz Not even joking. I got that PC in 2007 and I still use it now. I can't find much of a problem with Vista 😂
+Abnormaalz Windows Vista got a ton of flack because it was designed for "beefy" computers (at the time). If you had the hardware, Vista was a great OS. I used it at work to support 150 users, 60 servers and over 400 applications.
The issue with Vista was drivers. If you had hardware with good vista drivers, the OS was great.
This video shows genuine integrity. It's actually super easy to tell if somebody actually uses and understands a certain operating system or if they just tried it out for a little while, so I'm very impressed with the way you guys are presenting your content.
There are some defaults Windows keyboard shortcuts as well:
*Prt Scr*: copies fullscreen to clipboard
*Windows Key* + *Prt Scr*: saves fullscreen to a file in C:\Users\USERNAME\Pictures\Screenshots\...
*Alt* + *Prt Scr*: save current active window to clipboard
What about the snipping tool for screenshots?
My thoughts exactly. Snipping tool has better functionality and power than the awkward key combination that is mac screenshot.
I recommend Lightshot. Very similar, if not better than Mac's screenshot tool.
Also the recently introduced Windows Ink Space is awesome for Surface... I have the 3 Pro and I use the Pen click/double click shortcuts to launch it...
You can set it to make a Sketch over your current Screen, and the tool has a crop function, so I rarely need the old snipping tool
Best one I have found for doing everything is ShareX. You can setup a hotkey for it and do tons of different things with it, gifs/videos/screen shots/boxes around areas automatically for you
You can turn on "Preview pane " in the View tab of Windows Explorer to see previews of documents, photos etc. For me it's much handy than previews in Mac. Maybe you'll like it too)
For taking screenshots the way you want it-
1. Click/tap on to the Windows Ink Workspace icon(the with a pen) placed right on the taskbar.
2.Click/tap Screen Sketch.
3.Choose to crop the area you want.
4. Click/tap save.
Cropped screenshot will be available in the pictures folder.
I just did opposite, got new macbook. As a windows user, I got use to mac pretty fast, within a day. Except few shortcut keys that saves time. Enjoying the whole experience.
Mac has more keyboard shortcuts out of the box (and they make sense) in my experience, and if you need more, just make them.
Apple need to make a Surface pro rival tablet which runs Mac OS. The fact that they try to rival it with the iPad Pro is embarrassing
I have used Windows for about 25 years and my main issue with it is poor stability. None of the eight versions I have used have truly run as they are supposed to. Mostly minor stuff like drivers not working or some app not running, but it is frustrating in the long run.
i dont think drivers are *minor* lol
For what it's worth, driver issues are not an issue with Windows itself but 99% of the time third parties. When you're expected to support the full array of computer hardware, this tends to happen. With that said, stability really isn't a problem on Windows. Getting a Windows machine that runs well, stays running well, and performs as expected is not even remotely difficult.
so long as you don't run something on a Celeron processor and try and open all the programs at once you'll be good.
I've been using windows for about 10 years and i switched to mac 2 years age. I couldn't be happier.
will u review oneplus 3t
I live windows life allover from 1999-2016 still manage to go on...
What I learned switching to windows. Wow, I can run anything, and it costs less? Amazing!
Windows is FREE?
I appreciate the fresh perspective. I didn't realize that Mail had been fixed, and I was set in my ways of using print screen, and cropping with paint. Thanks.
Double click your Surface Pen and you can save a specific part of what you screen shot and share how you want.
random question of the day.
where can i buy that gray couch?
Wild guess. Ikea.
Then in a few years, get familiar with Linux, lol. Then you will be complete.
the end part with all the effects my computer said it need quad SLi gtx 1080's to run but mu computer crashed
One of the worst parts about Linux, linux users. Annoying patronizing bunch. With a sense of superiority that is both funny and annoying.
So? How is that affecting you? I am a linux user for years, and every single problem I had, I could find the solution with a simple google search.
Aggelos Arnaoutis That's what I am talking about.
Richard T Linux is fine if you're not a gamer. Everything is made with windows in mind so expect to be very limited
Haha, I'm one of the Greenshot developers and just stumbled upon this video by chance. Really happy to hear that you like Greenshot!
Btw: Greenshot is also available for the Mac now, just in case you want to switch back... ;-)
I'd have gotten Mac if they were priced well. I use a Lenovo Yoga 910 which I had for $1900. Macbook at that price was not appealing. Macbooks or any Apple product dont deserve their price tag at all.
Aayush Pandey Says the guy whi never owned one lol.
I bought one a few years and is the best laptop i've ever had. Great performance and the OS is so smooth and user friendly. Windows 10 is not even close even thou they took a lot of things from OSX.
I used my brother's MB Air for a month before buying myself a laptop. Nope, OS X is not that great. The screen of MB Air was probably the terrible part. $1100 for a laptop with 900p screen was a joke. On the plus side, my Yoga has touch screen. And, I cant even imagine using a laptop without touch.
you seem like a butthurt fanboy...
Fanboy? I am a regular consumer. I'm telling what I felt as a consumer. You seem like an idiot.
Aayush Pandey get your self a MacBook Pro. Listen, I'm not bullshitting or lying when I say, my MacBook Pro 2013 was the best laptop I ever owned. "Was" because it got water on it almost 2 years ago. After that I got one of the best windows laptops available at the time, Hp omen. It was and still is one of the worst experiences I've ever had. In saving up to switch back to mac. Even though I game, not your typical hardcore gamer when all I play is league and csgo and indie games, I would never go back to windows again. In all honesty, OS X was the best and smoothest software experience I ever had. I still remember how I got some minor issues that frustrated me from time to time, but never did I feel unsatisfied with my purchase, unlike with the omen. I remember how much I loved that machine and I wanna get back to that, not the coming-apart laggy piece of garbage that cost me almost 2k and is just making my life hell.
Some of the things you can't do on a mac aside from gaming (for all those people saying the operating systems are equivalent and/or equally useful):
architecture (almost all Autodesk programs including industry standards like Revit and AutoCAD)
engineering (Solidworks, Inventor, Catia, NX, etc)
manufacturing (CNC capability of any kind)
animation (industry standards like Maya), any serious 3D modeling of any kind really
professional accounting and bookkeeping (programs like QuickBooks desktop that are needed to run businesses of any complexity)
The list is longer, those are just some of the software I interact with on a regular basis for work. There are pared down mac and/or online versions of some of the above functions (things like google sketchup or quickbooks "mac") but they're not professional level because they only have about 10% (if you're lucky) of the features you get running windows based software and no serious person in the respective fields uses them.
Not understanding these real world differences between mac and windows os means not understanding the scope of computer use in society and industry on a larger scale than just building websites.
It's also why it can be funny and kind of quaint when people defend mac os as being equivalent or better than windows. The world would exist just fine without mac os, but whole economies, the military, global manufacturing and trade, etc, would come grinding to a halt without windows if only mac os existed (even if you could load it on a pc). The most that would happen if mac os ceased to exist is some film makers would have to switch to Premier instead of using Final Cut. And a lot of web developers would whine while they fire up bootcamp.
This here.....for the WIN. #PcForever
I felt the same way about screenshots, but then I created a custom hotkey to open it:
1) Open Start, and search for Snipping Tool
2) Right click on the top result and select "Open file location".
3) Right click on the shortcut in File Explorer and click "Properties"
4) Under the Shortcut tab, hold down Ctrl + Shift + 4 to set a custom "shortcut key" similar to Mac OS.
5) Save it (you'll need to give permission as administrator), and you are good to go.
Of course, there is a caveat; you still need to click "new" and "save", but at least you have a similar shortcut that will open snipping tool lol
+Psychic Animations great tip!
What about Windows ink workspace from the taskbar itself. Besides you are using surfacebook, which does come with a pen, use the shortcuts there. I can say the same thing on mac if I don't know the shortcut.
"new" would be CTRL-N and "save" would be CTRL-S
I just logged into onedrive app and made it auto save screenshots when I press prtsc, but there is no selecting the area i want.
Windows has a print screen button... that take screenshots xD Hold alt to only take a screenshot of the current window. Crop it in paint if you need it smaller. I have never needed more than that.
I made the switch about a year ago. I'm an engineering student and a lot of the applications I needed were only windows based. While I could have ran a virtual machine (which is what I was doing) it was just eating up my hardware and I was due for an upgrade. I had spent around $2000 for a MacBook Pro back in 2011 and was definitely due for an upgrade. I ended up getting the mid tier surface pro 4 and while it was a learning curve, I'm so happy with everything it can do. It's made school that much more easier.
I am also using the Surface Dock to connect my Surface Book or Pro 4 to an external display. This has completely replaced my 2008 Dell XPS 430 (which yes i still used up until late Oct 2016). It works great, the only thing i miss is having my optical drives to read and write CDs.
Uhm, snipping tool?
Love your honesty!
+EMKWAN VLOGS thanks man!
I just switched to Mac for everyday use and it's been a helluva process getting acclimated! I was so ingrained because of traditional business training where we were encouraged not to use Mac (mainly because teaching applications would be more difficult for them). A few friends in the creative field put the bug in my ear (and not in my Windows machine) and now I'm hooked! I've had a few quirky issues but all of my machines work well together. Still have windows pc's in the corner of my office for other people to use.
I am not sure if you mentioned it or not but you can take a 'screenshot' for the current app only by holding down and pressing . Pressing by itself will give a screenshot of the whole screen. And for items on a web page you can use a mouse click (alternate button click) to bring up a menu that includes "copy" that allows you to copy specific elements from the page.
You can take a screenshot with the Surface Pen by double clicking the eraser button. Try out TouchMe Gesture Studio or TabletPro it will make you appreciate using the Touchscreen more with programmable gestures. Use Outlook 2016 as well it's insanely feature packed.
Either "double-clicking" or "clicking twice", the two together would mean 4 times, which isn't what you meant..
Gabriel Cheinquer lol thanks xD I'm such a fail with stuff like that I'll edit the post now
***** it is! People always laugh when I tell them my favorite app is TouchMe lol
Is it weird that I'm watching this at exactly 1:34pm..... see the time in the clock beside him
Switched to MacOS after a LIFETIME of using Windows machines very recently. In fact I'm still in the new phase of Mac hence my looking to UA-cam for tutorials and stumbled across this video.
It was scary at first not knowing what I could do with the Mac machine but its the synchronization between all of my Apple devices that is an absolute game changer for me. Apple Watch, iPad, iPhone. Everything works as one unit and that is just too amazing.
As an iCloud subscriber for me and my wife it is also amazingly simple and effortless as everything seems to automate in the background without user input. Thats. perfect!
Everything on my MacBook Air Retina is perfect. Finally Apple released a machine where the price was right (albeit still a little bit steep) but affordable for this old windows user to make the leap and never look back!
Snipping Tool is your friend. it's been built into the OS for quite some time to grab parts or whole windows of your Desktop.
i like the MacOS, even when I am on Windows i would make it look like the Mac... I would use Mac Theme, and I use Folderchanger utility to further enhance the overall look and feel on my desktop. Google 'folderchanger'
Email App? I always use outlook, very good program.
Great video! I would love to see windows laptops reviews! I like where Technobuffalo is going (I've been subscribed since the guy from phone dog worked with you guys and even more time than that) I hope pocketnow can introduce new segments like you guys!
I find it interesting anytime a mac user switches over to windows they get caught up in the windows app store. Windows users don't use apps. We download programs using our web browsers. The app functionality in windows is mostly there for tablets that are running Windows 10.
Don't go to the app store looking for the best mail app, or screenshot app or any kind of app. Look on the internet and download a real program.
Squarespace vs wix, which is better?
WordPress, because you're not locked inside their systems and have to pay them every month.
WordPress is cheaper but their security is really laughable.
isn't the snipping tool basically the same as the selected areas screenshot on macOS?
it is yeah
devRanter Yes but shittier since you need an App to do that while macOS just do it with a hot key.
it's a default program
Feel free to add a keyboard shortcut in the properties of the Start Menu shortcut. (Convoluted, yes)
***** As mentioned above, its a default program in windows, as well you can just set a keyboard shortcut to launch it. I have ctrl f5 set for my shortcut. Theres nothing wrong with it really, you get a few really nice features, and while it is rather old and hasn't been updated to match Windows 10 design, it does what its supposed to. And if you just want a full screenshot, hit the Windows button + PrtScr.
1. The Windows Ink takes a screenshot. "ctr;"+PrtScn" also takes a screenshot. There are MANY different ways to do this.
2. There is a preview option pane in File Explorer that shows you a preview of the document.
Great video, keep us updated on how the switch goes. Like your video, much more fair and unbiased unlike some of the other "tech reviewers" on here that can be distracted by anything with a flashy bar, Apple logo or Google logo. Keep it up.
you could use the outlook app.
The native mail app is much cleaner and nicer to use in my opinion. Outlook is much more cluttered and clunky AKA horrible for anyone else but big organizations.
J. K. yeah but he's using it to run his business so outlook would be a little bit better for that. for your average person the mail app is just fine.
No! Don't ever use Outlook! It's literally the worst email client I've ever had to use (and I was forced to use it for work). Fuck Outlook so much.
Weird feedback on Outlook. This is without doubt the the best application. Just as Word, Excel and Power point are the best productivity apps ever. Dunno to what extent u have used Outllook. It is very versatile
+PoliticalHell What don't you like about Outlook? As an IT person who has used Outlook since 1997 (and Windows Messaging before that), I find it incredibly useful for managing e-mail, contacts, calendars and tasks.
I will say admit there are performance issues if you have more than 5000 mail items in a single folder (well known Outlook issue, Google for more). This can be solved by using e-mail auto-archiving, or third party corporate e-mail archiving tools.
Struggled to find a mail app?! Outlook is the best mail app on Earth.
Why does anyone who a laptop profess not use outlook?
Yep. A lot of people are probably also unaware that you can buy outlook standalone for about $100. not cheap but it's the fully featured 2016 outlook client.
FastRedPonyCar
Pretty poor value for money compared to Office 365.
You spelled thunderbird wrong.
Thunderbird is no longer supported (I don't think) by the developers and Exchange mail support is pretty lacking.
The notch is profound on this guy.
On Windows 10 you can also do ALT+PRNT SCRN and it will save a screenshot to your OneDrive, open it up in Photo, Edit and Crop
this video helped me not knowing what should i get ,thanks a lot -_-
Glad it helped!
read my comment -_-
The lack of punctuation kind of obscures the fact that you're asking a question..
I think he's trying to be sarcastic, doesn't seem to be working out xD
how exactly is the reply 2 hours ago than the original post 1 hour ago?
How old is this man

For advanced screenshot, snipping tool is included (named Snipping Tool). Pin it to task bar and make your screenshot tasks easier.
here fix to 1 problem you mention,taking screenshot:
1.there an app build in windows since windows 7 called snipping tool,let you take screenshot and crop which part you like on the go
2. in windows 10 you can also press windows button + printscreen to take screenshot directly from anywhere
A mail client. Seriously. Is it 2001 again? Nobody uses standalone mail clients and constantly dropping stats of thunderbird are a good indication. Not sure why mac users dont know it but ur gmail is not only cute inbox its also your web mail client. In its settings u can add ANY imap and pop3 based mail services including apple mail and have all ur mail in one place forever. With chrome desktop notification and android gmail app pulling down all connected mails makes it better than any microshaft metro app.
tech channel that didnt know how to use windows 10? are you sure about that?
Double-click the top button of your Surface Pen to take a screenshot of your desktop. The full screenshot will be saved in your Screenshots folder on OneDrive, but this method also gives you the option to crop your image immediately.
Actually, in Windows, you can easily screenshot any part of the screen by just pressing WinKey+Shift+S. A very intuitive UI will jump right up allowing you to freely crop whatever you want from your screen directly.
Windows gets a lot of flac...yes windows 8 was atrocious and awful, however windows 10 is fantastic. I prefer it over macOS Sierra honestly. I have a 2015 MBP retina and honestly with the way things are going with Apple I will probably switch to windows in 3 years (once my warranty expires) unless they improve their macbook lineup.
Always been a Windows user but I'm thinking of getting the 13" MBP for the graphic designing purposes. Should i consider getting the 2016 model or go for the 2015 model? What is your comment on the new 2016 model?
Emad Ahmed I'll keep that in mind. Am waiting for the Black Friday sales. Thanks for sharing.
"improved" like the new and improved invisible USB ports.
The port situation on the new Pro is just bad, don't bother trying to sugar coat it. Removing the ports on the Air platform would have been understandable but still annoying. Removing them from the Pro is just stupid.
Emad Ahmed there is no future in having so few ports. Apple is only being innovative in ways to get as much cash from its consumers as possible and creating stupid expensive dongles is how you do it.
Even third party manufacturers of accessories have to pay a hefty royalty fee when they want to use apples designs. Apple has been very crooked in their business practices and it's only gotten worse over the years.
Still no touch screen either. You get some stupid touch bar now.
Windows 10 does everything, why settle for less?
Because its Windows...
CrucialConflict MacOS can run Windows and has more features than Windows 10... why settle for less indeed.
Running Win 10 on an Apple toaster, I see the big smile on your face... never settle for less. Win 10 FTW
except in runs like fuck all software
+PowerHouse PR Are you that the MacOS can run Windows? I think its the Mac itself.
Snipping tool works for taking screenshots of an area on the screen, and pressing Win + PrtSc will take a screenshot of the entire screen and automatically save it into your Pictures folder.
If you'd prefer to only have the current window in a screenshot, that's still Alt + PrtSc and then pasting it into Paint or whatever.
20 years a Mac user I mean everything I owned was Mac, just got bored with it when the last iPhone was released and the price so jumped ship to Windows and loving it and the freedom and no plans to go back, can't wait for the new Windows Surface phone to launch later this year...
Snipping Tool FTW
I have a burning desire to throw my perfectly good Windows 10 computers in the trash and spend thousands of dollars on an Apple computer that suffers from cooling problems and is difficult to repair or swap out cards. But I'll get over that desire.
J Scott Upton welp. That’s probably the biggest mistake you could make. I got a windows 10 and it’s a good new laptop. Not super cheap and it’s laggy. And I’ve had 4 windows 10 computers in the past that got jacked up by windows updates. :\ so I’ve about had it with windows. Even thought I can’t get apple. Kinda out of budget.
@@alu8120 While your waiting, put Linux on it, also, we hate windows, same problems as you!
Thanks for the Greenshot suggestion.
You seemed to stick with apps found on the app store. The power of desktop computers is the ability to download any random application from the internet that will suit you needs
4:20
nobody uses mail app hahahahah
I use it on mac
I use it on Windows
Eddie Ed
I use it. Guess I'm a nobody then
its really important to a lot of us.. how often u use it really depends on your age and your work style (interact with clients, bosses, collegues and etc).. If you are a kid, you won't use it as much.
I didn't use it when it came out in Windows 10. But now they have fixed a lot of issues already. I hope they continue developing it. Please give feedback to them.
The open mind and understanding that things are* different is reallyy refreshing.
If you want to see a preview of a document, you have to press Alt + P while in the browser. That will give you a preview on the right side where you can see a preview of your documents and whatnot.
1 and only reason I hate Apple, is that their OS feels like a dang prison, so restricted
if only you could game on mac....
There are many games for mac, unless if you want specific games like CoD, fifa, or Skyrim.
Aggelos Arnaoutis Yeah but you can't game well on a mac because they don't use powerful enough GPU's. It's just a hardware issue and even though they're still really expensive and will probably continue to be. They probably won't give any of their systems enough power to run games well. And if they did you can bet they'd charge you an extra 10K for that revolutionary feature
I agree, but as you said this is a hardware issue. I just want to point out that you can game on any OS nowadays (Windows, MacOS, Linux).
Not every game works on the Mac platform. Some do, but a lot of games don't
Lots of driver issues on the Mac, regardless of Nvidia or ATI
Why don't you do email in a browser?
The snipping tool can take a screen shot of a specific area and it's part of Windows, if you use it frequently just pin it to the task bar. If you have Microsoft Office on the PC, Outlook is a very good email program and an industry standard in business. It does everything imaginable.
Spotlight is a big deal for me and native support for disk images and most importantly a unix terminal are super important to me as well, making a switch to windows way to difficult for me. Linux would be much better.
keco185 you can natively mount .iso files in Windows 10
+Wahab Shah Not .DMG or .IMG or .CDR or space bundles. And even with .ISO windows only has limited support. Windows can read far fewer file types than MacOS or even Linux and I found that got in my way a lot. Plus MacOS and Linux run on open source software instead of the proprietary MSDOS that windows uses.
What the hell is open source hardware?
Sam M. Correction: software
Bash for Windows 10 might help with some of your problems.
*Please stop mumbling. Too incomprehensible*
TechnoBuffalo If you have OneNote, you can take screenshots with Windows+Shift+S. Then it's sent to the clipboard and you can paste it wherever you need.
I've been a Mac user all my life, but have been debating making the switch to Windows. Thank you for this video, it's made me think about it a bit more.
windows tower for gaming and macbook for everything else
nope! The opposite is true :)
yeah macbook for gaming, totally
well honestly,what does a mac do besides gaming that a pc can't,go on the internet,review pictures,make youtube videos,download programs,use a webcam........ECT
N Ebrah do you game on a mac thinking that mac is better
enjoy your facebook machine
Apple 🍎 is lost their mojo but not going back to windows.
Elena Faenza I HATE windows 10
Elena Faenza
Windows is much better.
Mac is strange and retarded.
Arckanum
You have no soul.
OKAN GÜL have you actually used mac
OKAN GÜL windows is bad
built into win10 is the snipping tool. no need for additional software to take cropped screenshots. in Explorer view tab you can also activate the document preview, no need for additional software again.
+TechnoBuffalo You can take a screenshot of the current window by pressing Left Alt+Print Screen. I have been using this shortcut since Windows 2000, and it still works on Windows 10! :) Keep the amazing videos coming!
