you just solved like so many of my long term issues in just minutes... thank you

[SYNDESTV]

Using a MacBook is a learning curve as Windows users ourselves. Thanks for sharing all these tips to make it easier for all of us!

[sebastiaanvreedenburgh]

Recently switched to Mac and my mind is blown. Thank you for all the awesome tips! As a software tester I’m definitely going to use them.

[khalilsnobar]

Thanks Jeff! One tip I found works better on adding folders to the Dock: No need to create an alias (I hate that arrow on the bottom right corner of folders), right click on any folder you want added or click on that folder then press (Command + I) then find the preview to which you can drag that and drop it on the dock. You then right click on that and change the display to Folder and View Content as Grid or anything that suits your viewing taste. Hope this helps!

This is such an awesome video! As a new mac user, I keep coming back to this video every few weeks - thanks for taking the time to go over all the nitty gritty details :)

[glenntonge]

Jeff this was exceptionally well done. I have been a Windows guys since it was invented for consumer use. In December I crossed over to MAC and my stress levels have gone down dramatically. This was very useful cheers😊👍

[CalvinJKu]

I've been using macs for more than 20 years now so I guess I already know most of the tips. But still I wasn't aware I could present my iPhone on the screen this easily and I've never really used Quick Actions to convert images into a PDF which is pretty cool! Thanks for the video!

[golg]

Love the way you enjoy explaining. Thank you.

[ivannolia]

I've seen about as many mac productivity tips videos as I possibly could, but this video is the only one where the tips are as new as they are helpful to me. Thanks!

[cassioalexan]

It's very funny and enjoyable to watch Jeff having fun of himself and of all the things he says! \0/ Your humour is contagious!

[alicia]

I usually never comment on videos, but I was SO surprised watching this! Expecting a nerdy dude talking 3min before he gets to show features everybody already knows and then continues to promote his channel endlessly, I was heavily surprised! You jumped right into the video, gave tips I've never heard of and concentrated on providing value rather than promoting anything!

You just gained another follower! And I am very excited for new videos! :)


Greetings from Germany, I hope my English was understandable :))

[AsimAntuleVlogs]

Damn, this video is super helpful, man!♥ Thanks a lot, Jeff

[flaubertjean-michel]

These are great tips, thanks! The majority align with what I have applied to my Mac so far. I'll suggest adding this one for the Touch Bar users: replace Siri shortcut with the screenshot. It's far more useful.

[asiburger]

My god! I've spent the last 2 days fully overhauling and optimizing my MacBook, when I finally decided to look up what other's suggest ontop of it. This is really useful. Like, finally some genuinely useful, concise and well selected changes. Nothing worse than somebody waffling about useless or obvious stuff.

[psalmsbyharvz]

Quick and straightforward. Plus the humor. Love your channel man 🔥🔥🔥

#overpriced to lovely lovely machine haha

[anashameed]
