@@malicahamilton I snagged a Mac Mini. Love it....mad I didn't make the move sooner. That ecosystem is crazy with how all Apple devices just work together. Enjoy it.
Hello, I'm in my late 60's. My son usually sets up all my new electronic devices. Today my new macbook air arrived and he is overseas. So I decided to try to set up my macbook with the help of youtube. The first video started with custom settings. I was having trouble with plugging it in. Thanks to you I was able to completely set it up and I am using it now. I can not thank you enough.
I am a complete luddite who has just changed from PC to MAC so was a little apprehensive about being able to get my head around things. This is one of the best video guides/tutorials I have come cross - on any subject. Following it through, step by step and I am set up and ready to go. Brilliant, thank you and well done!
Most other TH-cam tutorials are so quick, and always skip over the details and the basics, so I loved how you took your time to actually explain, and not stress through it as fast as possible like you had a gun to your head 😅 keep up the good work!
Very few tech TH-camrs do this kind of video. Great to see one from you. It's beneficial for someone who just got a Mac for herself or himself. P/s: I edited it guys, thanks for your suggestion.
Funny that you fixed it. Native English speakers will often say such things on casual communication. In fact some parts of society would consider your use of "themselves" to be good because it's gender neutral and "himself or herself" is assuming a gender typical reader. Personally I don't care either way, your English is better than many and after taking a quick look at a couple of your other comments it's hard to say with certainty that it's not your first language.
@@jacobpaint Well... I am not trying to please anyone or anything. I just simply put things into consideration, but thanks for the clarification. Also, it's not like I am writing an assignment, so making a few mistakes here and there are not like the world's end. After all, it's just a comment.
Probably the best set guide to anything I've ever seen on TH-cam. Concise, knowledgeable, easy to follow and you didn't even need to say "like yeah" 200 times. Thank you very much.
Believe it! I manifested mine, it does work. It was not in my budget but I went through the process of putting it in my cart online exactly as I wanted it and then letting it go. I received mine as a birthday gift yesterday that I was not expecting. I was manifesting it about 3 weeks ago and I believed and let it go.
These M1 machines will be the first Mac for many PC users (me being one of them), so this type of videos is hugely helpful for us in our first steps with Mac OS. Please do more of those!!
Dude you have almost every permutations combination of tests once can perform on a MacBook. I doubt even the testing team at Apple did all of the test that you did . Cheers mate !
I don’t even have a laptop regardless of having a Mac, why am I watching this? I know why, because Liam is an absolute legend and deserves watch time and a like :)
Hey Ik I’m late but I jsut wanted to tell u if u cant afford a MacBook from Amazon or straight from apple or any phone or iPad go to Swappa it’s a Place where I got my iPhone 12 Pro Max and my new laptop for like 600$ and it’s just like new all u have to make sure is that u make sure there’s not scratches and it comes straight (also uses pay pal so no scams)
Just ordered a MB Air, first time going to use mac after being a windows user for 15 years - credits to mind blowing M1 chip. Great video, thanks a lot
I've actually received my Macbook pro 2 days ago, dude this is just what I was looking for THANKS YOU SO MUCH.. Fantastic tips for a Apple bigginer such as me
Thank you so much for making this video. I'm a owner of Macbook Air M1 2020; and I'm new using Mac. I have been struggling last night on how to close the apps and windows and do the basics, Now i know thanks to this video.
i'm new to your channel and just wanted to say, you have a fluid way of presenting information in bite-sized bits that is extremely helpful...gotta give props to those that create value for others, thanks.
You absolutely Aussie legend. Thanks so much for the quick guide, you've explained things nicely without being too tech-ey. I wish I had seen this vid when I actually unwrapped my new Mac and, being a newbie to apple, I didn't know what to do! Lucky me for unwrapping this cool machine. I definitely look forward to seeing more videos.
Thanks for your great content Liam. Ordered a 16gb Air last night, which should arrive at the end of January. I would be grateful for a video on screen protectors and case cover accessories, if possible.
After waiting three weeks for my new M1 MBA (16, 512) to arrive from Shanghai (via two Chinese cities, Anchorage, Louisville & NYC), the long journey officially ended with it being returned to the Apple Store. I am just mentally drained from the experience to go into it here, but never have I been more grateful for my 2012 MBA ... it has worked flawlessly for me. Yes, it is slow but then again so am I.
That Was The Best Setup I Have Seen So Far.... When I First Subscribed You ....There were total of 3.8k subscribers Now you Got 40K....and you Deserve More....I have seen All your Videos of M1 Macs
Thanks a lot for this initial setup and quick help on things in MAC. You mentioned that you will do detailed video of things in Mac for beginners. Really looking forward to that as I have ordered M1 Air which is yet to be delivered but have never used MacOS.
A shortcut to screen record / screen shot is command shift 5. I don’t think it records audio from your device tho so maybe QuickTime is better in that aspect (I haven’t tried the QuickTime method)
Thank you for this! I just bought my first MacBook 2 weeks ago. I’m still getting used to certain things even simple things like copy and past on the track pad are different from a windows computer. The little handbook Apple sent after my purchase was pretty helpful too! An idea for another video maybe some cool customization ideas or tips on how to customize certain features for aesthetic purposes I also have a question: would I need to have virus protection software installed on my Mac ?
Somehow it's become habitual to watch your videos even though I don't own a mac. Maybe some day. It's refreshing with a youtuber that actually helps people getting started after they've made their purchase through the affiliate links.

Seriously considering buying my first Mac. These M1s are hard to resist.
Just got mine today ☺️
@@malicahamilton I snagged a Mac Mini. Love it....mad I didn't make the move sooner. That ecosystem is crazy with how all Apple devices just work together. Enjoy it.
Only reason I bought a MacBook Air M1 today, is cause I need a good laptop. I already have a custom built beast PC 😅
@@SeezYT same and a gaming laptop but that gaming laptop is going byebye
Got a Mac Mini a couple weeks ago. Love it! ❤️

omg same
just stop spending money on eating out or home delivery. trust me, saves a lot of money. money that you can invest into tech.
U will get it. Don’t reduce ur self esteem.
seriously, believe me, you can. M1 Macs are more value for money than any windows right now.
wtf is it about saying will never. work hard you will get there someday
Very few tech TH-camrs do this kind of video. Great to see one from you. It's beneficial for someone who just got a Mac for herself or himself.
P/s: I edited it guys, thanks for your suggestion.
You mean Himself/Herself? Edit: there you fixed it
Someone is singular and themselves is plural. The correct way to say it is: ...someone who just got a Mac for himself/herself.
そうだね？でも、エヂトしまった。

Man.. I wish I had a new Mac to set up. I’m watching this in the hopes that I will somehow manifest a new Mac into my life
Believe it! I manifested mine, it does work. It was not in my budget but I went through the process of putting it in my cart online exactly as I wanted it and then letting it go. I received mine as a birthday gift yesterday that I was not expecting. I was manifesting it about 3 weeks ago and I believed and let it go.
Ive been asking since grade 7 im almost done 10th now and it was a surprise just keep waiting

Dude you have almost every permutations combination of tests once can perform on a MacBook. I doubt even the testing team at Apple did all of the test that you did . Cheers mate !

As a new Mac user this video was extremely helpful. Short and straight to the point.
Love how the channel is really growing and consistently contributing to this new Mac community. This guy's channel is basically Reddit for M1s.
Thank you for the subtitles! As a deaf person it’s amazing to watch a video like this with subtitles. Doubting to buy a Mac so it’s really helpful!!
this is the most detailed introductory video for people new to the mac I've seen so far, much needed for loads of people.
I admire your dedication to M1 Macs and the fact that you’re going through every possible test a user could do, well done!
I don’t even have a laptop regardless of having a Mac, why am I watching this? I know why, because Liam is an absolute legend and deserves watch time and a like :)
i currently dont have a macbook but im getting one in 5 days so i cant stop watching videos about macbooks!
You’re a genius! Thank you so much for this walkthrough. I had my new MacBook Air and didn’t know what to do with it until now. 🙏🏼😍
Glad I could help!
Watching this as I wait for my first ever Mac to arrive. I'm soooo excited! Thank you so much for this video!
Understanding your "How to" Strategy!!! You're making most out of M1 Macs!
Finally an Aussie TH-camr
This vid has just got me even more hyped about the new macs

Fantastic tips for a Apple bigginer such as me
Thank you for this. As a Mac newbie this was very helpful, plus your voice is very soothing to listen to. lol
Australian accent is so smooth. That's why I love Thor so much⚡🔨❤
I fell in love with this dude when he muted the siri prompt so it wont activate on our devices
The m1 Macbook air is literally my dream Macbook I'm saving up for it and I REALLY hope I can get it before the end of the year
Mine is coming after the first of the year. Thanks for videos. Happy Holidays.
Most comprehensive M1 videos I've found so far 👍
Ooh I’m gonna need to watch this again once I get a Mac eventually...
Thank you so much for making this video. I'm a owner of Macbook Air M1 2020; and I'm new using Mac. I have been struggling last night on how to close the apps and windows and do the basics, Now i know thanks to this video.
I think this video has long ways to go, useful for the future.
Took me a while to find a video like this.
An unboxing, and step by step intro into setting it up
This helped me sooo much, because im buying the new mac.
Love the unboxing shootings!
Thank you for making this video. I'm a first timer switching from Windows to Mac, this is certainly helpful
Youre a life saver. I just got my macbook and i was so lost before watching this but now i feel lil bit more comfortable around my laptop so thanks
i really idolize who can step by step tutor people on youtube. thank you for this
I’m getting my MacBook tomorrow! I’m so excited and also thanks for introduction it’s so helpful. It’s gonna be my first apple laptop ever.
Thanks for a great content, helped me a lot with my new M1 Air. Keep it up Liam! Greetings from Poland :)
This is the exact video I want because I am getting mac os for the first time
i'm new to your channel and just wanted to say, you have a fluid way of presenting information in bite-sized bits that is extremely helpful...gotta give props to those that create value for others, thanks.
Your video is great and really helped me understand more. I purchased my first MacBook today, it’s being delivered tomorrow, super excited!! 😁
Literally ran out of adjectives while praising your amazing and high quality content. I would just say keep it up mate .... 👍🏻👍🏻😚😚🤩🤩
Iam here because in upcoming 5days my macbook will be delivering 🤗
Love from india ❤️
You absolutely Aussie legend. Thanks so much for the quick guide, you've explained things nicely without being too tech-ey.

I definitely look forward to seeing more videos.
Coming from a Windows 7 Dell laptop. Just got my new M1 pro today !
I love how you muted "Hey Siri" 😁😁👍🏻
I did a lot of research which Mac to get and this M1 wins. Excited to receive my order 🙏🏽✨ my first mac, a birthday gift for myself ❤

Please explain
I love how it’s just open the lid, not even press the button- that’s just nice to have haha
Sometimes the small things Apple does ** me off, but then i think "Microsoft would have thought of that" and put my mind at ease :)
That Was The Best Setup I Have Seen So Far....
When I First Subscribed You ....There were total of 3.8k subscribers
Now you Got 40K....and you Deserve More....I have seen All your Videos of M1 Macs
Great video to the point and easy to set up for new users
By far the most comprehensive series out there
It's been 8 years since I set up my current mac. A testament to their products, but it's time to move on and go lighter. An air is in my future.
I've have mine for 8 years as well and just recently upgraded.
U taught so nicely and easily , everyone can understand it , thanks and god bless u
Thanks a lot for this initial setup and quick help on things in MAC. You mentioned that you will do detailed video of things in Mac for beginners. Really looking forward to that as I have ordered M1 Air which is yet to be delivered but have never used MacOS.
Today is my first day using Mac and your video has helped me in understanding.
what would be a "щупальце" wifi network be doing in Australia? lol
I am also wondering
This is a great resource for folks that are new to Mac. I recommend it to folks quite a bit
You can also do cmd+shift+5 for a screen record without opening QuickTime and cmd+ctrl+esc to stop it.
Getting my MacBook Air M1 today and your channel has really been helpful to me. Glad I found your channel 💕
A shortcut to screen record / screen shot is command shift 5.
I don’t think it records audio from your device tho so maybe QuickTime is better in that aspect (I haven’t tried the QuickTime method)
Soon. Almost ready. I can’t wait!!!!!!!! Thanks for the tutorial.
Wow, this is very educational, my friends were struggling to do that, so this is very useful. I love all the tests that you did too. ❤️
This was so helpful you’re underrated as hell man
3:09 щупальце 5.0
Most youtubers miss this part , good job man👍
Yes I definitely have a Mac no doubt yep thanks for the congratulations :>
Thanks for teaching I'm about to buy a Mac and I don't know about macos you are so friendly teaching so well
Created labs: if you're watching this video congrats on your new mac
Me who doesn't have a mac but is watching the video anyway: thanks 😭
I just ordered one m1 air and youtube recommends this.
nice content.

I also have a question: would I need to have virus protection software installed on my Mac ?
I don't use virus protection, just be careful to not download suspect things (as you would normally do on Windows anyway), and you will be fine :)
@@CreatedTech Thanks!
Just got my very first Mac Book and so far love it ! Thanks for this wonderful video to help get started
5:02 I have a question, can I use the Apple ID of my iPhone? And if so... does that make sense?
Yes you can
Yes, that’s what I do.
Love that your videos are short man! Keep it up
I really enjoy this channel, like I literally always demand for short time to get the answers for my inquiry lol keep it up ✨✨✨
Anyway i wish i win the macbook giveaway bcs i'm a student and i really need it :/
Just ordered the Apple Mac book air 2020 with the M1 chip. Been seeing so many good reviews. Thank you for this shirt but sweet video.
Me watching this this video and crying because I’m too broke to afford one 😭
Hopefully soon…
I don’t have a Mac but I’m watching this anyway
The fact that he's showing how to open the Macbook initially amazes me 🤣🤣
And how to follow step-by-step instructions which the machine provides. I don’t get it.
He told what that red sign do in window
Somehow it's become habitual to watch your videos even though I don't own a mac. Maybe some day. It's refreshing with a youtuber that actually helps people getting started after they've made their purchase through the affiliate links.

Wi-fi network "щупальце", russians were detected)
Ukrainians, not Russian )
Good video for anyone new to the Mac. Keep up the good work Liam
I really love to watch these kind of products that I can't afford❤️
Such a great video.. Every one in apple store should have your skills.. Sooo great. Thanks a lot
-him congratulating me for my new mac
-*thank you I still dont have a mac :((
Thanks man for actually im watching your video from my brand new m1 finally
Fun fact: Most of the people here don’t have a mac (including me) 😒
it's been a while since i had a Mac, very useful info. Cheers m8!
Why your wifi' s name is written in russian. "Щупальце" means tentacle in russian
He lives in russia
Before
It's just because his neighbours are Russians.
Even though I dont have a mac i still find your videos entertaining and watch all of them
Название точки вай-фай улыбнуло))
Неожиданно))
Ок русский что ли?
Congrats for ur purchase 😍 really the best step by step for beginners like me😌 many thanks
