Did you pick up an M3 MacBook Air, or are you planning to?

As a 25-year PC user I just bought my Macbook Air 13" and this is the most valuable video I've seen. Clear, concise, well-produced, no wasted time or words. I took pages of notes and will return to watch it several more times as I learn to use my Mac. Thank You!

I just bought the MacBook Air M3. New to Mac. I bought 256 storage, wish I got bigger but plan on just using external HD. Just learned so much with yr video here, I am going to have to rewatch it again to capture it all. This has been very enlightening. Thank you.

Really appreciate the video. I just got my first macbook and almost every video out there the content creators don't really explain that well. Thanks again!
