but always value yourself man, cuz if you don't, do you know who will? That's right, Nobody.
You're a man of culture I see. I pin.
The fact he pinned this comment and commented under the comment let’s me know all I need to know about this YTer.😂 he can take a joke and he definitely has respect for himself. Learn to laugh dude that’s what life is about. If you learn to laugh at yourself you’ll be smiling all the time and you’ll enjoy everything more even your shortcomings.💯💯💯

I think the day you get an actual sponsor and replace the 'Nobody" sponsor will be a rough day for us all.
I pray everyday that, that never happens

😂😂😂😂😂You cold bruh@@applexperiment
that "nobody" sponsor joke made me laugh out loud, I was so not ready for it. Earned a subscription right there lol
welcome :)
As a person who uses an android and a macbook I appreciate this! I actually like keeping my work (laptop) and personal (phone) separate. I find it helps keep the boundaries between them.
The best comment I read here , I got a MacBook but don't prefer ios so I was thinking I'm missing something but what you said is totally correct
Same here my friend...I have a macbook and a samsung
@@souparnajana9507same, I thought I was wrong, I'm glad I'm not the only one 😂
Same😂 I have a macbook & Android phone❤
is it fine with Android phone and macbook????
Are we gonna ignore how he just casually threw the phones, like it was a baseball? 💀
Yes
And it was smoooooth! Well played, sir!
I have been a cross ecosystem user for years (I truly hate the iPhone but love Macs and iPads - I know I am weird). I use windows and MacOS laptops daily both with an Android phone and generally have very few problems (I have not been an iMessage user in years so no loss there). My goal to get the best of all worlds and hope I can get them to work together, so far no major issues.
Love your videos BTW informative and entertaining
You ain't weird my friend...I've got the same choice
I am the same - android phone is it superior, ipad (although the S9 is almost made me swap), macOS and chromebook for personal laptops and windows for work
Not weird at all-
Am Running
-an Android phone
-iPad for studies (android tablets still lack tablet sized apps)
-And Linux desktop at home because windows annoys me and gnome just looks better
(Though I still use windows for games sometimes)
For nerds like us we like to try all sorts of tech. I myself use Windows,Android, Macbook, iPad, iPhone, and Galaxy tab. We get the best of both worlds..
Feel exactly the same bro, using a MacBook for work and school and an Android phone (samsung) and couldn't be happier with that choice
Naaaaaailed it!!! 😂 that was fun . Thx for sharing with us. (Loved that intro!)
This was a great analysis! Seriously. Really got to the substance of this issue beyond BS about specs-n-battery-life . Thank you. (And it was a fun ride!!!)
You sir have been added to my list of tech reviewers. Always staying true with no fluff.
I've been using Android in combination with a MacBook for several months now and the experience is great. I have never felt like I missed out on some features. It's a great paring, a lot better than you'd expect.
Have you been able to transfer files via usb?
Got a s23 ultra and want to transfer video by drag and drop but phone doent show in finder when i plug it in.
Use Android file transfer or landrop by lan
@@renettesunrise For that you'll need Android file transfer
How do you do to transfer big files?
@@paul-marielaloupo8619upload it to the cloud? That’s what I always did. I use both windows and macOs (don’t judge me) both work fine honestly
Love your content man. Please keep it up
I love your channel man. Hillarious and informative 😅👍👍👍👍
I'm a big Macbook / Samsung phone (s21) user. For file transfers I use Dropbox. If I want to share a url link from my phone to my laptop I simply copy/paste the link into Facebook, setting the privacy setting of the post to "me only".
As for browsers, my late 2013 Macbook tends to run a little hot these days and Safari is the biggest offender, so I use a Chrome browser.
is your s21 going well in 2024?
@@Anonymous-sw9zd I love my S21, it's been a great phone. I am, however, looking into a new S25 next year.
The sponsor segment never gets old lol
yoooooo!!! You're actually too dope!! I like this a lot. I was trying to get an iphone mac combo cause I needed a new phone and a laptop...but I got an insane deal on the S21 Ultra and felt like I now have to buy windows...but now, I'm feeling the mac again..
0:12 lol love that intro! By the way, you have a cool name bro. I also use multiple eco systems because it allows me to get the benefits of each.
Another great video, I'm loving the Bloopers 😅
I love how on the screen he legit put nobody for a sponsor, I love the honesty and transparency🤣🤣☝🏼 also, nobody talks about this, everyone talks about how each ecosystem works with all the correlated devices, but no one ever talks about mixing the devices and ecosystems, so this was really refreshing to see and hear.
Exactly the validation I was looking for 🥲
Ive had a MacBook Pro for 10 years almost and have stuck with Galaxy S phones because they've just kept improving.
Also, really appreciate the level of thought and care (especially woth the humor throughout the script and the bloopers 😂).
Instsnt subscribe. Thanks for the content! 🙏
Great video, there are alot of people who use android phones and macs together. I would be interested in seeing what cross platform apps you use on a regular day if you mix and match different products.
I like the authenticity of your videos... theres something different about your videos. Great video.
Man great tips, this was a great quick setup for getting my Samsung phone and Mac to work together better.
Great video. I actually did buy a MacBook because I had an iPhone. Been considering going back to Samsung though. I would definitely like to see a video comparing the way the two systems compare at interaction between laptop and smartphone.
nice content bro, keep it up!
I would welcome the comparison videos. I have a Galaxy S23 Ultra phone and was intrigued by the Samsung laptop that would let me Quick Share files and photos, not to mention that killer screen! But I'm put off by that wobbly hinge and flexing screen. I thought about getting a Mac Book Pro instead for the build quality. I'm on the fence and not getting any younger. Great video, by the way.
Me too!
Same
I have the Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 and don't have any issues. The book 3 is supposed to be even better. I get everything the Apple ecosystem gives except having notifications clear when I clear from one device on the other.
Exactly same situation. I have s23 ultra, watch 6 classic and buds pro 2, but I have an old laptop and every time I look laptop reviews people just agree macbooks are better. Would never sitch to iPhones, don't like them, but wandering if a macbook might be worth it
I have no clue why you have so few subscribers. I honestly love how you explain things which many prominent and famous tech channels fail to do. (Not talking about the top one tho') Also, the man knows some magic tricks ... anyone notice?
Great video bro... keep it up.
Pleasant voice, good quality, good video!
Great video. Thanks.
Full on waitin for the comparison video between Android/Windows and iOS/Mac
great explanation about each device being their own tool, i feel the same with my setup
"Our sponsor... nobody" 😅. YEAH, BUDDY. I think I found my favorite new channel. 😊
I never thought I'd find a video explaining why I use my Galaxy S23 Ultra with my Macbook Pro! This video explains my workflow completely!
You are pretty funny and I got the information I was looking for to use my Macbook with the nothing phone 2.
Thank u!
Excellent!!!
glad i was able to find such a video mate :D. was thinking about getting a macbook as i wanted to try one for a long time. typing this comment from a macbook air that i recently took for rent for a week :P
A lot of really valid points here that I’ve never considered since I’m an iPhone / MacBook guy. But I’ve always said I want my devices to help me do the things I enjoy doing without becoming the things I enjoy doing, so whatever gets you to that point is the best option for you ❤️
Ive been doing this for years now. Never thought anyone would make a video about. Im not gonna watch this one, just wanted to say you youtube guys are better than me, i could never come up with all these ideas for videos, or even care enough to film and edit all this. Hope you get a sponsor though!!!!
I'm planning to get a macbook in a few months as well. I had one back in 2018 and I genuinely miss it. It was such a great laptop experience compared to a lot of windows laptops.
The new M series chips are on another level. If you enjoyed it back then you will love it now.
You are awesome!
I’ve done it for many years and it’s amazing
There's something man! There's definitely something with your videos, i instantly liked your content and the way you make your videos. Not those usual over enthusiastic and loud youtubers. The calmness and to the point relatable things is damn good.
Wow, absolutely PERFECT! I have a galaxy s21 and a baseline macbook air and people keep annoying me to buy an iPhone. As if it was impossible to work around the apple ecossystem or if making so would deprive the macbook from all its value. I'm from Brazil, and here, tech is awfully expensive, and Android is much more common than iOS...
Great video!
Great Vid, love the bloopers! :) I gotta start doing those! Are you still androiding with a Mac laptop?
You throwing the phones is hilarious 😂
Been looking for videos like this but all could see was from a year or just whack....Thanks Man Got A SUB
Nicely stated.
Love this
Been using S23 Ultra since it came out and been using andriod sincd s9 and i recently had the tough decision of purchasing a laptop and theres no debate that macbooks are beast. So i went with the 14 inch macbook pro M2 and was kinda struggling at first but after this video i figured out about quick share downloads and that helped alot! You should make a video about more tips with andriod and mac cross over "walmart MKBHD" 😂😂😂😂 love the work man!
I’ve never subscribed so fast in my life all because he made me laugh in the first 30 seconds of the video lmaoo
Welcome to the team
KDE Connect is free and works great as a competent Airdrop substitute between a Mac and Android.
Nice video! Could you do one where you show step by step how to do the Android to MacBook Pro syncing? Would love to see that.
You're the best reviewer I have seen, And I really appreciate... If ever you need to expand your team with an editor, I'd be really honoured to be a part of this great channel.. I know it may sound like wash, lol but it really isn't
You're completely right. I've never noticed. When I grab my mac is strictly for making money. And my phone/pc is always for fun. I never get it wrong because of this clear and easy distinction.
We need more videos like this.
More mixed ecosystem videos.
Love to see new video 📹
nice video. niche topic
Great Video I wonder which features are missing ?
This is crazy timing for this video. I just switched from an iPhone to an S23 Ultra and I own a MacBook Pro. I'm running into these ecosystem challenges and was thinking of switching to a Galaxy Book so my devices work better together. Still on the fence, considering MacBook's still have the best touchpad in the game and I'm a touchpad only user.
I've been pondering about getting a Galaxy Book for university (computer science) because i have a samsung phone, samsung tablet and windows desktop. But the Galaxy Books 3 pro version and non don't look like finished prducts. They overheat too easily, lack power when unpluged and have low autonomy, all things that are really important in a laptop. For the same price you can get all this things with a macbook, but loosing all the samsung echosystem...
@@engel2702 I don't think a samsung branded laptop is really necessary. Just install link to windows and set it up with your phone. The Samsung integration is way ahead of the regular android implementation and IMO the BEST feature is being able to sync/share your clipboard between devices. Crop screenshot something on your PC and you can immediately pick up your phone and paste the image in a message.
@engel2702 Don't get a Galaxy Book. Go for a MacBook. I eventually bought a Galaxy Book 360 Pro (returned), then a Galaxy Book Ultra (returned), then finally a new MacBook Pro M2. Both the Galaxy Books had the same bluetooth connectivity issues, and the Galaxy Book Ultra bluescreened on the first day of use, and the quality of the touchpads and keyboards were subpar, not even in the same ballpark. The screens however were gorgeous (both OLED), but they were the only thing that was good about these laptops.
Windows 11 is still awful, and the Samsung ecosystem with their laptops is buggy, unintuitive, and flat out ugly.
@@dr00bybiggest advantage is multicontrol and samsung notes on both.
i was on the fence on turning to android but you put my mind at ease
I also am a mixed ecosystem user. Mostly because i dont really use any of those features that are inteded to make the devices work better together. All my photos go to icloud and google photos so its a non issue for me. Please keep the bloopers. Makes me watch the full video every time. Also the youtube comment was 10/10. NGL, you do give off some MKBHD vibes :)
Agree with everything you say, i have always used android for mobile os devices but mac for desktop machines, similarly I use Brave browser to sync everything between devices and one drive for sharing.
Would love an ecosystem comparison. Would love to hear experience of windows device and iPhone
😂 loved the bloopers.
Subscribed for the nobody sponsor
the key point here is which one suits you the best. I used to own an iPhone and a Macbook. I realized that they are really convenient for me given the synchronization between Apple's devices. But when my iPhone's battery started to show bad performance, I switched to a Samsung S23, which I found initially a bit less convenient. Yet, I still gave it a try. After few months living with Macbook and Samsung phone, I feel... nothing much to complain. Clearly having something to work with in the ecosystem is great, but it doesn't mean you must follow procedure if you don't really need it.
I am using an Android phone paired with a Macbook. I believe those OS are the best of both worlds in their current states. that said, I'm always tempted to switch to iOS for the full integration experience even though I can't stand iOS. Android has always been my favorite OS specially for productivity so I am glad to know that I'm not alone.
Apt.
You said at the beginning no body asked you, but here I am. I am watching your video because I want to get an android with MacBook and i was wondering if that's logical and what headache i will face. Thak youuuu for answering and maybe nobody sponsor one day be the biggest brands on earth and you choose them InshaAllah
He also has a mac so he can literally host a imessage server on his mac and use a app callled blue bubbles to use imessage on android. Works pretty well.
Theres also, beeper and airmessage
Windows laptop + 13 Pro owner.
Google Apps + WhatsApp on both laptop and 13 Pro => i don’t need to use any Apple apps.
Please do the ecosystem comparison. I would love to watch your take on it.
You can argue both have the same exact eco system. I’m not even joking when I say this.
I want the iPhone/Mac VS Galaxy Phone/Galaxy Book 🔥🔥
Great video.
How do you keep your photos organized between the mismatched ecosystems?
Originally Amazon Photos, but moved over to Google Photos
I would like to see a comparison between the two ecosystems for sure…I struggle with really wanting to break out of the Apple ecosystem since I have been it so long for a change but damn it’s hard.
The samsung ecosystem is great and you have choices. I use phone, buds, tablet, and laptop. There us really nothing apple offers that I can do. Again, I have choices of devices and get way more for my money. Storage is a great example. I had the MacBook air 2017 before and while it was good and I used it with my galaxy s20, I still get more from the Samsung ecosystem.
The eco systems (purely samsung products that is) are almost the exact same. I’ve literally got both eco systems and the differences are marginal at best. Just comes down to what you prefer.
Have been looking for a video that explains how Android interacts with a Macbook Pro, and this is the only video that i found relevant and helpful! Great Job!!! Any pointers on how i can use an Android phone and still keep my apple photos collection updated?
I'd transition over to Google Photos if you can. Makes life easier
this was the kind of video I was wanting to see, nice, try using your s23 ultra and a macbook and share your experience
Did he just throw 2 phones to the other side of the room? LMAO Great video, subscribed. Edit: Not the laptop too lmaoooo
I'm using an iPhone as a personal device and Windows laptop for work and it makes total sense when you said that there's no disturbance from your phone while doing some intense work. I like the iPhone bcoz it simply works and Windows bcoz I've been using it for decades now and it's simply gotten very better now.
Absolutely... I would really like the Apple ecosystem vs Samsung Ecosystem comparison
Yeah, I tried, but went back to iPhone after a while... I use Airdrop too much to let it go and I love the copy link/text on my phone and paste it on my laptop (and vice-versa). I love Android phones, but I only have macs (at home a mini, at work an iMac and a Macbook Pro in my bag), so I could not give up the perks, earbuds, everything involved in the process. If you only have an Android, yes, you can make it work, but if you have to choose between an iPhone and a Samsung, I think you should pick the iPhone 10 times out of 10.
The airdrop segment was pretty weak, you're assuming anyone with a Samsung phone has a Samsung laptop which just isn't the case. And the alternatives like uploading the google drive etc aren't basically the same as airdrop which JUST an extra step, the time it takes to upload and download those files is also a factor. Cuz yknow, not everyone has blazing fast internet
yes, I didn't buy a laptop to answer phone calls on a computer, I bought it to be the laptop, I got phone to be my phone
THANK YOU!
Yes!
Yes, I agree 100 percent. All my desktop computers are Apple and my smart phones never are (smile…smile)
@@transitengineer 😃😃
It’s not only about message it’s about files and pics transfer
Loved the bloopers..... My Note 9 is restarting very 5 minutes so I'm looking at a new phone. Have to admit I-Phones cameras are (IMO) almost as good as Galaxy ones.. Looking at the pixel 7 and 7a but the 128GB is limiting. Looking at an unlocked s23 ultra and IPhone 14 too. any thoughts? Also, I think I will see what goes on sale during Prime days....
@maze40 - I just the S23U to replace the iPhone 13 PM (that's in the draw now) & it was because of the lack of a decent zoom on the iphone. We were going on a scenic cruise and the S23U gave us some fantastic shots that several friends have remarked on...
Спасибо за информативное видео и интересную подачу материала :) Очень помогло упорядочить мои собственные мысли.
Got a sub thanks to the sponsor
I use an S23+ with a Macbook Pro (personal machine) and an HP Laptop (work machine). And I really love the ability to use Google messages regardless of the platform I’m on. I also have my Google profile loaded on both machines so I can use Google Drive with both machines. The one thing I don’t like is taking notes. Neither One Note or Google Keep are my favorite note taking apps. I really loved both Apple Notes and Samsung Notes but they are both platform specific. At the end of the day I do like having mixed setup. I think Apple has the best laptops and tablets. And I think Samsung has the best phones. I don’t know that I’ll ever go back to the walled garden completely, ever again. Great video and thanks
This is the most video that reflect the reality i have ever seen without hype and hypocrisy in youtube
This is the first video that I saw from your channel. Subscribed. You deserve many many more subscribers!
Wow, thanks!
Please include Samsung DEX as well!! I am currently using it about every day after work and it is absolutely brilliant😊
Beeper is great on desktop too (Mac) not only an iMessage integration but pulls everything together into one place
Google photos on the browser is a great way to share and download to your macbook as well.
My head is melted trying to figure out whats best for school. Too much choices
NearbyShare and others are finally catching up. But it took them a while... And that is why macbook + iPhone is so popular.
I had an android with a MacBook for a while since Mac is better in terms of performance, and I will say it’s not super bad. Not being able to move files was annoying but remember android is basically a computer so u could do whatever there instead and I’m usually using my phone in addition to the laptop to multitask in terms of texting, switching to iPhone definitely makes the experience much more convenient but it’s nothing super duper necessary
I have a hybrid collection but with Google Drive and Google Photos it’s seamless amongst all three of my main devices, Samsung phone, iPad, Windows PC and MacBook Pro.
The upload/download steps is whet those of us with slow internet wouid like to avoid. What about if you are moving 10GB of files between android and macbook? A cable is the only way
I am considering buying a macbook Air as i wanna get into editing videos and photos, but i own a Samsung s23 ultra, which i just bought. I am worried that most apps on the macbook would be paid for as opposed to the android. Plus, i am worried about how they would work well together. In terms of transferring files back and forth. Please help! 🙏🏽
Samsung phone and MacBook user here. I quit iPhones back around iPhone 5 and haven't missed it one bit. I just recently picked up a MacBook Pro and find it to be a great laptop for the Adobe range of products and design work I do on it. I still use a PC for my main computer/desktop and that will never change. I use the iPad a lot for illustrating and wanted it to be a bit easier to move files back and forth from there to computer programs, and that's why I decided on the MacBook. While I am overall happy with my MacBook, it's a bit clunky in areas and frustrates me to no end that it doesn't work easier with Android/PC when it comes to simple things like file sharing. But as you said, there are work arounds and I make do.
This was good. I have always used Android phones, and I started using Macs in 2007. I don't want an iPhone, nor a PC. I usually use Dropbox to transfer photos and some text. It's easy to do, but it is rather piecemeal since I can only move 9 photos at a time. I'm not interested in doing phone things, like texting, on my laptop. That might be interesting though. I'm more interested in file transfers. I can plug in cords, yes, and will need to do that to get a mass of photos from the phone in a shorter timespan. I saw a video about some apps for doing that. Maybe you can talk about that. Thank you. My current phone is the S23 Ultra, and I love it.
