Hi Ella, would you recommend moving to Mac from Windows since I've always seen Windows laptops slowing down over time? Also to not land into same issue, have you seen your Macbook slow down ever?
The Kingdom of God is at Hand John 3:16 King James Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
This is a game changer! Ever since transitioning to Mac, I've struggled with my productivity compared to windows. Each one of your tips are going to be so helpful once i start school in a month. Ty so much
For the majority of transition problems remember that the command key is generally the mac version of the windows control key - e.g - command + c copies in mac, control + c copies in windows. Apart from that the only real differences day to day are finder vs explorer and how to open apps. The apps themselves are almost identical to windows ones, assuming you're using the common productivity tools.
Although the notch might be annoying for some users, I would prefer to have it shown. It's what makes the new models of MacBook distinct from the rest. And that notch is the reason why there are thinner bezels. It disappears anyways when you're on full screen.
Your videos are super interesting and useful, I can see you put a LOT of work into them, and they bring me a lot of joy, thank you! Those are great tips and I had no idea about most of those options/apps.
Instead of CalcBar, I use spotlight search to calculate. For the full month calendar, apple has a default widget for that. I just swipe on trackbar with 2 fingers and it will appear
I dont own a mac, but used to love them and was trying to see what they looked like currently and what their shortcomings still where. Super dope video, and I really appreciate it! Concise and straight to the point!
Didn't know about any of these options, probably the best Mac video I've seen. I did toggle my finder to group similar items though, this way it'll group all pdf, images, documents together in divergent rows so that I'm not sifting through random docs for a pdf I might need.
All great tips, but you can use the spotlight search for a fairly advanced calculator. Simply press comman + space and start typing in the sums you want to do.
Mine arrived 2 days ago and I'm finding it a steep learning curve after using Ubuntu and Linux Mint for many years but feel better informed after watching this. Thank you.
Thank you so much for Hot Corners! Coming from windows I absolutely have no clue why it is such a pain on macOS to switch to desktop natively. There are so many use cases for it.
This was SO helpful. You always do your research and explain it very well. It's a real time saver from someone knowledgeable. Thanks so much for sharing.
This is incredibly helpful, thank you! While I have an iPhone, I've mostly only ever used Windows and a little bit of Linux, so I'm not super familiar with MacOS. Ordered a starlight M2 Air this week and am very excited!
Awesome ideas and thank you for all the cool open-source software ideas! My only gripe with the "more space" part is that I've come to that milestone in life that includes "macular degeneration", which is what happens when one begins to edge upwards in their quinquagenerianism... Looking forward to more, Ella!
13+ minutes of video, but seems like 26- minutes of information, 9 to 10 minutes of video would be ideal, but I can listen to your speedy talking for hours. Love the setups! 👌🥰👩💻⭐💎
WOW this is the first video i saw which makes MAC so much useful and more productive! Cant deny that, what you did makes MAC more like windows but in a good way! Keep it up!
I just switched over from Windows and this is by far the most helpful and practical video I’ve seen on how to improve the everyday usability of the MBA. Too many videos focus on obscure features that most users won’t care about. Thanks, you made a lifelong PC user’s transition a lot easier and more pleasant! 😃
dude i had no idea how much i needed the rectangle app.... I'm pretty used to windows and just being able to drag something to the top and it full screen is just amazing
Awesome video of which you have showcased upon the first features and also thing to do on the new MacBook as well as the unboxing and the customization thanks for sharing
This was so helpful, especially mini calendar and rectangle! Rectangle is amazing I can't believe in all my years as a mac user, I never knew about this! Lifesaver.
Ella, great video, I just got a MBA M1 and using some of your tips here, but I can't figure out how to add widgets to desktop, they just show on the right side of the screen.
If you go to settings > Desktop & Dock > Automatically hide and show the menu bar, and select never, the menu bar will not hide even in full screen mode. Pretty useful imo
I don't even hace mac but after I have watched all tips and tricks of windows, for content I started watching mac tips and all them were very genericbasic stuff oreven repititive. This is just GOLD great work keep doing what you do!!!
Hi Ella. I spent approx. 2 hours by watching this video and this made my day. I did change all the things you said in the video and to my suprise the Macbook looks greats. Thank you so much for posting a good video. PS: You just earned a new subcriber.
I used to use rectangle, for me key binds weren't something I like to snap the windows, so I installed magnet, I know rectangle has the ability to drag the windows, but magnet made it feel like it did when I was on windows and was faster for me.
the first time I watched this video was from my windows laptop and now I could finally say that I'm watching this from my M2!!! very helpulf video, I loved it!
Excellent unique video. Will be getting my MacBook Air next week and can’t wait to customize it with your suggestions. Have become a fan of your channel. 👍🏼
I find it easier to use Magnet on mac instead of Rectangle- it’s got that Windows snapping functionality for apps, not sure whether Rectangle has that but Magnet has honestly been my go-to for years.
Damn this is almost the same setup as me. I try to minimize how many additional apps I download so I keep it pretty minimal, but Rectangle is a must have. Def love that you recommended open source apps too.
Really helpful. Thanks. Learned a lot I will do with new M2 Air, and also to my M1 Mini. Using Macs for years and didn’t know most of these or spent money on apps to fix them.
Watch me unbox the M2 MacBook Air here! ua-cam.com/video/M-QvxjybiSk/v-deo.html
Ella I need you
I buy soon a alienware x17 r2
Hi Ella, would you recommend moving to Mac from Windows since I've always seen Windows laptops slowing down over time? Also to not land into same issue, have you seen your Macbook slow down ever?
This is genuinely the first "mac setup" video I've seen that isn't the same copy/paste tips and actually had some originality. Thank you sm!
Exactly.
Agreed. Really helpful

I mean, out of those 14 things, 12 is covered by every other “Mac setup video” of other UA-camrs so 😂
This is a game changer! Ever since transitioning to Mac, I've struggled with my productivity compared to windows. Each one of your tips are going to be so helpful once i start school in a month. Ty so much
First-time mac user here who is VERY scared of how difficult the transition will be. Thank you for making this video.
For the majority of transition problems remember that the command key is generally the mac version of the windows control key - e.g - command + c copies in mac, control + c copies in windows. Apart from that the only real differences day to day are finder vs explorer and how to open apps. The apps themselves are almost identical to windows ones, assuming you're using the common productivity tools.
how are you VERY scared about a laptop 😭 no hate just sounds strange
@@ruk2023-- guaranteed that im gonna be hittin the control button on my mac for the first few months instead of the command key LMAO
Although the notch might be annoying for some users, I would prefer to have it shown. It's what makes the new models of MacBook distinct from the rest. And that notch is the reason why there are thinner bezels. It disappears anyways when you're on full screen.
I agree! I like the notch and want to always see it, because I always want to see my menu bar. I use it often and it’s annoying having it disappeare
Yes I agree…it shows how you spend $$$ to buy the new MacBook😏
@@mr_niceman yes. always necessary to flex 😎 it's ur hard earned money after all
@@Nhguava hell yeah bro, first thing after I receive my M2 air, Imma go straight to a cafe and chill🤪
@@mr_niceman me too i can't wait, cafe and library gonna be my new home
As a windows user making the switch over, this was really helpful! Thank you
longtime windows laptop user here who desperately needed these tips after swapping to MacBooks. Thanks!
Your videos are super interesting and useful, I can see you put a LOT of work into them, and they bring me a lot of joy, thank you! Those are great tips and I had no idea about most of those options/apps.
i never learn new tips from mac videos… this one was different! so glad i came across your channel. new sub here.
Ok, there`s lots of these throughout the internet, but this was the most helpful video to me as a baby macOS user. Thank You!
My M2 is being delivered today, so I know this video will be super helpful when I watch it 😅 thanks for the great videos and content!
Happy to help!
Quick tip: you can type in caffeinate inside the terminal to stop the mac from sleeping. Just press down control + c to exit caffeinate.
Instead of CalcBar, I use spotlight search to calculate.
For the full month calendar, apple has a default widget for that. I just swipe on trackbar with 2 fingers and it will appear
I dont own a mac, but used to love them and was trying to see what they looked like currently and what their shortcomings still where. Super dope video, and I really appreciate it! Concise and straight to the point!
For the widgets portion, did you download these apps? I honestly thought that Widgets are just on the notification in Mac.
Took me more than an hour to work through your video so I could copy all your cool suggestions to my Macbook - thank you so much!!
i love how concise yet informative this was!
Genuinely the best mac apps video ever!
Didn't know about any of these options, probably the best Mac video I've seen. I did toggle my finder to group similar items though, this way it'll group all pdf, images, documents together in divergent rows so that I'm not sifting through random docs for a pdf I might need.
BEST video out here!!
Glad you think so!
All great tips, but you can use the spotlight search for a fairly advanced calculator. Simply press comman + space and start typing in the sums you want to do.

Great to hear!
SUPER good video! You covered EVERYTHING but not in an intimidating or overwhelming way. Will recommend to new AND OLD mac users!
your smile also is something which I need with a new mac
Thank you so much for Hot Corners! Coming from windows I absolutely have no clue why it is such a pain on macOS to switch to desktop natively. There are so many use cases for it.
You can always use 5 fingers on the trackpad and the gesture (widening them).
This was SO helpful. You always do your research and explain it very well. It's a real time saver from someone knowledgeable. Thanks so much for sharing.
i like her content a lot, it's joyful and useful
Love rectangle and Maccy. Being a DevOps these tools are essential for working on Mac desktop
you got yourself a new subscriber!!! Amazing thank you
Awesome, thank you!
Not gonna lie, my M1 feels like a new laptop again. Cool vid !!!
You need to return that old rag doll… get with the new
M1?? You let yourself be seen in public using that relic?
Guys, I unfortunately need at least one kidney to be alive.
This is incredibly helpful, thank you! While I have an iPhone, I've mostly only ever used Windows and a little bit of Linux, so I'm not super familiar with MacOS. Ordered a starlight M2 Air this week and am very excited!
The only useful mac setup video on YT..

There were so many cute tips I loveee😌✨
Also ur accent is super cute 😭💐

Great tips for the Mac, love your no nonsense, grounded delivery, right down to your favorite color 😅
This video deserves double thumbs up
In general setting set Scroll bars to always show makes it easier to scroll I know you can guest trackpad gesters but if you have a mouse it's handy
This was so helpful, especially mini calendar and rectangle! Rectangle is amazing I can't believe in all my years as a mac user, I never knew about this! Lifesaver.
How did you get the widgets on the home screen?
I have to watch this later. It seems so helpful for new Mac users! Thank you!
been a mac user for 20 years and I learned some things today, thanks
Ella, great video, I just got a MBA M1 and using some of your tips here, but I can't figure out how to add widgets to desktop, they just show on the right side of the screen.

thanks for this, my m2 looks so much amazing now and I love the custom widgets
Very useful tips, thanks a lot
OMG! Cleanshot!
This video is too good actually everything I already added to my new mac but condensed into a simple video. Definitely recommend this and Subscribing!
love these types of videos!! the desktop widgets are so convenient to have, esp with a quick hotcorner swipe to see the desktop.
Multitasking is just for fun. For productivity, full screen app and cmd+tab for switching Apps (remove animations for faster switches)
Just wanted to say I subbed from this video alone….really great and original ideas. Very refreshing to see in this area of UA-cam.
Good Video! love how you get straight to the point and I love your editing style.
thanks for watching!
i learned about the weather widget, thanks! :)
Usefully for new users like me.

For the screensave I have been using polar clock for years. It's simply beautiful and free to use

Super great guide! Easy for people to understand, especially first-time Mac users. Just got my Air today and love it. Thanks!
Thank you for this video... I just turned on the battery percentage option on the menu bar. I've been using my M1 MacBook air for almost 5 months ...
lol hopefully that'll help :)
Great stuff! Im loving my new m2 air and I really appreciate the work you put into this video. Very helpful!
Thanks for these helpful tips. I just recently got a MacBook Pro M1 on sale and TopNotch looks brilliant on the display.
This was actually a great and unique to do video! learned a few things, thanks for making it!
I just got myself a brand new M1 Macbook Pro, I havn't owned a Mac since the PowerPC era, so this was very helpful!
The Rectangle App reduced my stress. Wow. Thank you lol
This video actually helped me to setup my MacBook better than it was. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Ngl, i love this person! So organised and minimalistic, i love it! I'm still using the tips for my old 2015 macbook air, still looking good!
Fantastic video. Been searching for Maccy and Rectangle for the longest time.
Your videos are brilliant stuff, so original and refreshing :)
Linear mouse was a great tip to help reverse the scroll wheel. Took hours to fix that. Thx.
Your videos are very aesthetic. I love the rounded corners design in your PiP and screenshare. Excellent choice of visual design.
This was so good and had loads of actually useful tips and recommendations. I subscribed right away!
Enjoying the video. It made me confident to use the Mac. Thanks a lot.
Good job girl! You deserve to be supported!
i'm new to mac books and i had no idea this was even possible, this video was very helpful and now my mac looks so pretty ^^
Actually really helpful! I'm enjoying the format of your videos, keep it up!
Excellent unique video. Will be getting my MacBook Air next week and can’t wait to customize it with your suggestions. Have become a fan of your channel. 👍🏼

Thank you for the tips Ella!!
Most helpful mac video I have ever seen!
I find it easier to use Magnet on mac instead of Rectangle- it’s got that Windows snapping functionality for apps, not sure whether Rectangle has that but Magnet has honestly been my go-to for years.
whats the snapping features on Magnet like?
Ye, but Rectangle is free
Great comment. Must have for windows transfer. $10 is worth it
Damn this is almost the same setup as me. I try to minimize how many additional apps I download so I keep it pretty minimal, but Rectangle is a must have. Def love that you recommended open source apps too.
Really helpful. Thanks. Learned a lot I will do with new M2 Air, and also to my M1 Mini. Using Macs for years and didn’t know most of these or spent money on apps to fix them.
THANK YOU! VERY helpful video. I got the mini calendar, did the hot corners, changed my screenshot shortcut, and the memoji! ❤
Glad it helped!
Great video, some really useful tips and tricks! Unlike all the other MacBook videos... Thanks!
Okay, anyone have a hot tip for how to move these widgets again once they are put onto the desktop?
I genuinely had no idea about the customisable folder icons😮
Number 9, damn helpful
i just wanted to set up my new mac for work ended up making it cute... 10/10 would recommend
This was so helpful - found a lot of cool apps and tricks. Thanks for sharing!
I just got a new Macbook Air M2 and this video showed me all the must have settings! I loved all the tips you provided! AMAZING!!!☺
okay! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
Been searching for hours for an app like Rectangle, thank you!
you are an amazing human being... thank you so much for these tips I did enjoy the video and how easy to follow up.
