I'm switching from a PC to the M1 iMac 24. Delivery is scheduled for the middle of July and I can't wait, especially after watching your video. At least now I know what Monterey is. Thank you. :)

Great to see videos that forego "cutting edge new features" like changing the colour of the mouse pointer and animated Memoji and concentrate on actual useful features on their £2000 machines.

Erase all contents and settings is only for M1 macs, along with live text and portrait mode in FaceTime

Apple quick notes needs code formatting!

I’ll command space text edit while coding websites to do some quick styling along with google chromes superior inspect element.

“Everyone uses windows” well I sure hope not…

Is Apple Music any better, more stable?

[razoado]

Can we use the Mac mini as a receiver for AirPlay, from the iPhone or iPad?

[AwesomeLindag]

Question: for the erase all content will it give a warning if you accidentally click on it? I can see myself clicking on it accidentally lol

[bobmavric]

Don't we have Music app already on Mac? Why should we Airplay music from our iPhone to listen on Mac? Why don't we simply use Music app?? What's cool about iy that you are so excited for something we already have?

I hate the safari tabs. They don’t even look like tabs, it is inconsistent with other apps, valuable space is lost because it’s sharing space with the URL bar, and the change of color based on the background makes them harder to locate quickly.
I long for the days where a button still looked like a button. They’re overshooting.

Why do you have to shrink a full screen window before you can minimize it

[NSMetaLpig]

Can you drag and drop on macOS Monterey?

How does macOS Monterey Beta 1 play together with Final Cut Pro and 3. party plugins for FCP?

[JoeSiegler]

Can you set up work tabs to do this? Say, there's a project I'm going to work on later in the day. Can you say pre-set up three URL's and when you open that tab group and nothing is currently open, it will auto open those three pre-set up URL's as tabs in a group?

I absolutely hate it when people say "It looks cleaner and more modern" !

[waynevangundy]

Is there a method for making the menu bar larger?

[marlls]

I wish I could disable the full screen app feature and make the green button do what it did before this useless annoyance came to existence

Hey, I have to drop this comment, the entire window management section in your videos aren't unique to Monterey you could do that in earlier versions as well
