Thanks for all the tips. If any of you changed to 3 finger window drag only to realize that now you can't use 3 finger gesture to swipe between full screens (desktops) even after reverting to not use 3 fingers to drag a window - Don't panic, you can still switch between desktops by using 4 finger gestures or Control+Left/Right Arrow keys instead. To revert to 3 finger gesture of switching between desktops, go to Trackpad settings in System Preferences > More Gestures tab, there click on the line under "Switch between full-screen apps" and choose the 3 finger gesture back.
It should have done that by default but it's Mac, what can you do? Send feedback? lol

Just bought my first ever MacBook air. Entering this ecosystem. Your guidance is helpful. Thanks 🙏🏼

It's my first Mac; what are Do's and Don'ts regarding battery? Should I only charge it once it gets really low? Can I just leave it charging while I'm using it or will that damage the battery cycles once it's disconnected from the charger?

Omg I’m so excited to get my first MacBook! I’ve been using so many Apple products for so many years but never the MacBook so I’m very excited to get my hands on this beautiful machine 😍

I gotta say, I've been waiting for my MacBook Air to arrive for 4 weeks and I thought I'd watched every video there is about it.

This video has some really good stuff no one else has in theirs, hot corner explanation, that swipe from off the track pad to open notifications too. Cheers mate, You've earnt a sub, comment and like!

Great video!!! I know I’m late but I’m getting the MacBook Air 2020 m1 soon I can’t wait to check it out….

[jimbeaux]

I just got my first ever MacBook, and it’s so foreign to me, since I’ve been a lifelong windows user. I absolutely love it so far tho

[felinehermetica]

This is my first Mac, I had No Idea how HOT they run. HOLY HELL!! My palms are soaked after ten minutes of internet browsing. I have a little usb desk fan rigged up in a cardboard box right now while I look for a proper cooling/fan pad. I have a PC laptop that is just a touch less powerful than the Mac and it has Never Got This Hot.

Thank you for this. I'm really struggling so far with my new M1, but I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to technology, so no surprises there. I'm really frustrated with the issue of extensions. I downloaded one, and so I thought I'd be able to use it. But when I clicked on it, it said that I hadn't "turned it on", which I could do in Safari preferences. I scoured those preferences for waaaay too long, and saw nothing that gave me an opportunity to enable extensions, whether generally, or with respect to specific preferences. Thanks Apple! I know it's probably just me, but I don't find it very intuitive on a lot of levels.

Appreciated that you described the keyboard a little bit and some of the particular functions on it

[shauryasharma]

The way you moved away your surface. Burn!! 🤣🤣🤣

[MystikalWisdom]

i just bought my 1st macbook and i thank you sooo much for this video. the macbook is so hard for me to figure out. totally used to a mouse or my iPhone

[theunsophisticatedplatypus]

I had a MacBookAir and went to Microsoft Surface Book. Hated every moment. I didn't realize how much I complained until I opened up my MacBook Air that my wife got me for Christmas. God I love her.
