I use Mac OS, Windows 11 and Linux. The only thing I can say that Mac OS needs to improve is the file manager. The only thing Linux needs to improve its more newer hardware compatibility. The only thing Windows needs to improve is the entire operating system.
I have to disagree here. There were many little annoyances with mac when coming from windows. The one that annoys me the most is the drag and drop delay when using double tap to drag stuff. And in general the whole mouse/cursor behavior on mac feels worse than on windows to me.
I also moved to a Mac recently after a lifetime with Windows and found your video very interesting. I also have had a hard time getting used to Finder after Windows Explorer but find the sound quality of the speakers and trackpad much better than any of my PC laptops. The best thing is when you close the lid on the Mac and open it the next day, you battery is not draining down. Windows on ARM is looking promising but they would have to improve their GPU performance to catch up with Apple for creative users.
This is EXACTLY how I feel about Windows ARM. It's promising, but really hasn't proven itself yet. And my fear is that Microsoft won't put enough guidelines into place so that developers can provide a consistent experience. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts🍻
@@Tr4ns1st0r I reckon that. But the laptop is turned off and won't drain battery ( therefore no complains ) but has everything as I left it the day before. Works for me at least.
it's all a matter of habit, only. I worked for 15 years on Windows and Android. 3 years ago I replaced everything with the Apple ecosystem. Mac Studio, studio display, iPad, iPhone, watch. At first I wanted to cry - but the deeper I went, the better it was. These systems are simply different, in Apple there are things that are not in Windows and vice versa. Now when I sit down to Windows or take Android in my hand I feel as lost as when I first sat down to Mac
Yes, that’s the that’s part of the beauty isn’t it? That it’s all different😊 At the moment though I’m very happy with my hybrid ecosystem. Mac and iPad, but still running android. I just can’t get over how slow iOS feels to nevigate😅 However I wouldn’t mind trying an iPhone in the future… maybe next phone 🤷♂️ Thanks for watching and commenting 😎
There are many videos that talk about switching from Windows to MacOS. It's always interesting to see how everyone does it differently. I think for work, personal stuff, creative people (musicians, video producers, graphic artists, programmers...) a Mac with Apple Silicon is by far the better choice. Gamers: should (still) stick with Windows or buy a console.
I hate the window management of mac but it being a UNIX based OS and apple silicon performance and battery efficiency overshadows that weakness for me as a programmer.
@@jackdehosson Window management is now in line with Windows or should be with the latest OS. Really like how you can have workspaces on Mac but infuriates me you cannot natively on Windows unless I am missing something.
I absolutely agree with this also. Windows does a better and more seamless job of managing multiple windows / snapping windows together etc but Mac can do it too (just not as slick).
I’m a relatively advanced computer user myself, however I am also limited by screen readers. Until more recently, VoiceOver on the Mac sadly had some major issues that meant it was not really a viable main system. However, this year I purchased the MacBook Air, M3. And it is now my primary machine. Absolutely mind blowing how fast this machine is, on top of that, I’m running Windows 11 arm in a virtual machine on the Mac. The windows honestly feels as fast in that virtual machine, as any windows machine I’ve ever used. Maybe faster actually. LOL. So yeah, I now use a Mac which allows me to use Windows more efficiently than any Windows machine out there. 😂
A few things: The extra keys are more or less the same as you get on a windows keyboard, you have option rather than alt, you have command rather than the windows key. Also remember that these keys go back to the beginning of the Mac’s history and pre-dates the windows keyboard. Face ID is not simply a camera looking at a two dimensional object (as is the case with Windows Hello) and using software to map facial features, these systems can be spoofed with a small amount of effort. Apple decided when they created Face ID that they wanted something that wouldn’t be spoofed by two dimensional objects (like a photo). Apple wanted a system that looked at real three-dimensional objects so they’ve added in an array of sensors (Dot projector, flood illuminator, infrared camera, and front facing camera) it’s these additional sensors that currently do not fit within the depth of the MacBook display housing. Apple has gone to some length to publish white papers on the security of its biometric systems particularly FaceID, I would recommend reading them if your at all interested. Apple is also all-in on touch ID, which is its original biometric standard. Apple won’t compromise on the security of its biometrics, so until Apple can solve for the Face ID implementation touch ID will have to do. As for dragging objects into folders it’s not required that you drag it over the folder, you only need to do this if you are not already in the desired folder. What Apps or services appear in the menu bar is up to you, you can disable all of the included Apple services, along with any third party App that also has a menu bar item. Disabling any of the menu bar items you don’t need will help you to clean up the interface and allow you to focus on just the items you’re concerned with. Any widgets within notifications center (clicking the date and time in the upper right) can be removed and notifications can be disabled as well. The clipboard history feature in windows was only added recently as part of Windows 10. However, the idea of a clipboard manager goes back to the early 1990’s both platforms resisted adding this as a native tool for decades. A major role of the development community is to built tools that fill the void that the OS does not provide for. This makes It a difficult call for any OS platform to cannibalize ideas from its third-party development community. To do so will often result in the alienation of its developers, and hurts the very developer communities that Microsoft, Apple, and others spend so much time, money, and effort building up.
Hey mate! Thanks for watching and taking your time with this comment❤️🍻 And just to keep the discussion going a bit: 1. Yeah, I know it's similar with the modifier keys. It was just in the beginning I felt like a few Apple "shortcuts" weren't as intuitive as ctrl or ctrl+alt, so I simply question, the need for an "extra" button... Just like I question why the Windows key exists😅 Like seriously who uses it except for split screen and clipboard🤦♂️ 2. I'm sorry if I seem argumentative, but the new iPad Pro is 5.1mm & the Mac lid is roughly 4mm, if not a bit more, so it's getting close... + the MSI actually has ir cameras & sensors to aid against simple spoofs like photos. W-Hello has gotten a lot safer lately. Maybe not FaceID safe, but safe enough for me to trust it on the MSI. So still 0 excuses for Apple IMO😉 Also, I have noticed that many have misunderstood my point here. I have 0 complaints about touch ID, or the lack of FaceID, my complaint was the notch. I don't like designs that don't fill a function🙃 Anyway. Thanks for sticking around🍻
@@xgui4-studios only a camera with IR has been required. Microsoft’s of late is increasing the requirements to improve security, but yeah Windows hello doesn’t require much.
I think you got an area incorrect reason why a windows is slower is because it's not using the graphics card exporting the video or video playback whereas the macbook by default users media engines hence the smoother performance so you will need to use the rtx 4070 boat render and export
I think you are onto something here. I was running the free version of Resolve on Windows and only recently upgraded to Resolve Studio. Maybe worth another shot. Although I did try my best to force the GPU to do as much as possible on the MSI, so there really isn't an excuse for for example LR to run slowly compared to the Mac... Anyhow. Thanks watching and commenting🍻
@@jackdehosson I highly doubt it an rtx 4070 are in export and even playback destroys the m3 max if not the ultra and there a tons of videos on the internet which tells that and not just me pls have a look at it
2:35 This is the main problem with the Windows platform in general. The utilization is just horrendous compared to Apple. You can have a mainframe of a Windows device (desktop/laptop) but it just doesn't use the power in most of my scenarios, resulting in much slower performance. This becomes apparent in applications for photo editing like LR Classic or smaller software. Everything from making simple edits to exporting times doubles. No, my M1 pro just kills my own pc, although it supposed to be much faster if you are looking at the raw specs. So for gaming -> pc Everything else -> Mac. I wish this was different so I could have saved some of my hard earned money but no. Not atm at least (looking at you Qualcomm). If you compare a M1 Air to a standard Windows laptop, you will encounter longer battery life (+beter sleep battery performance), beter trackpad, beter speakers, beter screen, beter keyboard, beter microphone, no performance hit on battery power, and this is not even getting to the utilization of the singlecore performance and ram usage. It's just a no brainer.
My experience EXACTLY! Agree, agree, agree! Going to be interesting how Windows transition to ARM goes🫣 Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 🍻
Watching this on my M3 MBPro Max :) I've used so many different laptops in different work and personal contexts and find MacOS a gap filler in usage terms - great video anyway - criminal you don't have more subs man.
I'm having "another go" at getting into Mac (he says, typing this on a Pixelbook). I'd say neither platform is perfect (and I spend quite a bit of time in Linux as well), but I feel like it's harder to justify sticking with Windows when something simple like a mouse starts misbehaving - and it's not just one machine either. I liked your take on the problem... Sub'd because it'd be rude not to with videos like this :)
I mean Face ID on the iPhone uses LiDAR and requires more sensors than just an RGB camera, that’s why it works in the dark and is very secure. They probably could do some sort of face recognition using an RGB camera like on your windows laptop, but it wouldn’t be as secure (perhaps it’s even possible to unlock with a 2D picture) and it wouldn’t work at night either.
Hey @martijnvanderwal3976 ! Thanks for watching! Yes you are not the only one to point this out, however I don't completely buy it. Yes Face ID is definitely still more secure, but Windows Hello has come along way, and can no longer be fooled by just an image, or similar attacks. For example in this MSI, it uses IR sensors to help define who is unlocking the device. You can even see these IR sensors being picked up by my camera at @1:40 in the video😊 So it is no longer "just" an RGB camera. Plus, in this crazy world we live in with vision based AI, I would be ready to trust "just a camera" anyway. For example, my Pixel 8 Pro offers face unlock using just the front facing camera, and I have never had anyone else get through. Thanks for the discussion & for watching🍻
The menu bar is only cluttered if you want it to be. Same thing with notifications. You can control these things and decide for yourself. My menu bar is pretty clean and I don't get much notifications either. And if you don't like clutter, then just take a look at the systray on Windows with all the preinstalled useless bloatware. Now that's a mess for you.
For example, you can remove the icon for both bluetooth and wifi, because those things can still be accessed by clicking on the icon for the control center. And in most apps you can disable the menu bar icon in the settings menu (unless it's a pure menu bar app, but nobody is forcing you to use those apps). It's not that difficult to keep it clean. They just give you the option to decide for yourself.
as a graphic designer who uses windows the battery life sucks and honestly i don’t know why i didn’t buy a macbook because my whole eco system is almost Apple. I just don’t have the money right now sadly but i wish to have my hands 1 day on a macboook
Yeah as a graphic designer you'd love it. But save up, and then buy last year's chip to save a few dollars👍 That's what I did, the M3 was released, so I bought the M2 MacBook at a discount 😊 Oh and if you're already in the Apple eco-system that a Macbook is no brainer... However I would recommend the route I've taken which is not to rely on any of apple's apps or services. This means that I can switch to whatever OS I want, whenever I want, without it being a major pain😊 Thanks for watching and good luck 🍻
Another thing that annoyed me immensely when I had my MacBook Pro and iMac, was that you can’t see what’s inside a folder in Macs. I can see what’s inside folders in Windows which saves a lot of time searching. Ie transparent folder icons. Plus all those weird shortcut key combinations. 😂 I can never remember them. And the “option” key… at first I was looking on the keyboard for an “Option” key and could never find the darn thing! …option…
@@jackdehosson Sorryyyy! Hahaha... But if you have a folder full of pictures and you know therre were photos of a town in one folder and another folder with some pictures of a house fire in another, it was easy to look at the folder and see which one has the town pictures and not the house fire. In MaOS you have to go into every darn folder to find the pictures. With hundreds of folders it is not easy just going in and renaming every folder.
As a lifelong windows user too, I can’t regret switching to an M1 Mac. Everything is just simple and smooth. After some time, the interface becomes more logical than Windows. I gotta say that your editing quality and way of speaking is on par with a multi thousand subscribers channel. Great job.
Thanks for your kind words🙏 And yes, Mac OS does is just waaay smoother than Windows. I mean, it's been a year & I have never once had to go into some odd menu, or use a line of code copied off the internet to force it to do what I want😅😂 Thanks for watching & commenting😊
Mate, you’ve probably spent over 10 or 15 years on Windows and only a couple of months on macOS. Of course, it seems complicated or confusing. Believe me, if you had spent those 15 years on a MacBook and then tried to switch to Windows, you’d be confused as well. I had never used macOS before buying my MacBook Air M1, and it took me a year to do things naturally without having to think about how it’s done.
Sure thing, and as said, the Mac already feels like second nature! However I think it is important to compare the two, and their respective drawbacks and benefits, in order for both sides to progress and become better user experiences, no matter what side of the fence you reside☺️ Thanks for watching and commenting 😎
G'day mate! Thanks for watching! Now I hate to break it to you but the paste command doesn't exist in real life yet. The hardrives you see are actually only stuck on by velcro (I know, boring🙄). This awesome solution ensures that when I'm on the go they don't flop around, risk dismounting, and corrupting my work. I'm also less likely to lose them. Win win! Oh and when I don't need them I can just peel them right off👍
I finally decided to take my dreams seriously and start working on my art business and I sold MY Msi Raider with a 3070ti and ran into the same thing the machine was a space heater. I now make art and work on animation on a MacBook Air M3 and I’ve never looked back.
Nice video! Modifiers Keys both operating system uses all three modifier key. Most people really don’t realize it because one is just dedicated for Microsoft unlike macOS. Hit the Windows key it will open the start menu so you can search. This feature has been built into Windows for years, Think it was started back in the Windows Vista days. The alt+Control on windows are designed for developer to use. While you can use the Windows key as a modifier key most developer follow Microsoft advice and don’t use it. FaceID is a true depth camera system not just face recognition software. The catch to this is a person can take a photo and open your Windows machine with Windows Hello. They might have fixed this with technology over the years since Windows Hello was introduced. At the time of release it wasn’t all that secured. With Apple true depth camera system this is not supposed to happen. It is supposed to be able to detect if it is a photo or a real person. Clipboard yes macOS has a clipboard! Well actually it is called a Paste Board, the only difference is that it doesn’t keep a history like Windows does. The hotkey is command+(x,c, or v). Apple Paste Board even work a crossed iCloud, just like clipboard on Windows work with OneDrive. The Menubar well this can be an advantage & disadvantage at the same time. While windows has only the Task Bar it does have a feature for this as well. To fix this issue with macOS you can use an App like Bartender. The fact that most app’s I use on macOS don’t even have that large of top row menu I really don’t worry about it. On Windows it was called the System Tray. System Tray is where all of your app’s that support the System Tray will run. Same feature it just has a pop up windows to view instead of all them layout like macOS. As for Control Center well I kinda like macOS version better than windows version. Both operating system has a Control Center. Apple just has more services that are integrated into their Control Center. Notification Center well I don’t know if someone has even named this view. It the view that slides out of pop up on both operating systems. Have you ever got a notification on Windows 11, well it is this view where that notification lives until it is dismissed. The only difference with this view in both operating system is macOS allows for widget in this view. Oh wait not you can put widget on you desktop. While windows has another view for widget in Windows 11 until they remove it because no uses it aging. Microsoft has gone down this road a few times and never gets anyone to develop widget for their operating system. So, to top it off all the features you didn’t like both operating system has all the features. They just act and preform differently on both systems. Besides the Menu bar app deal I really think macOS has a cleaner user interface than Windows or any other operating system I have tried.
Yeah, it really is a give and take type deal for everything mentioned🤷♂️ And I would agree that MacOS is waaay sleeker than Windows... I mean Microsoft really has a tendency to make Windows look outdated😅 Thanks for watching and putting so much consideration in to your comment🍻 See you around👍
I used a old MacBook for a out a month before giving it back. I was okay-ish with it. But I'm a lifetime windows user so far. I'm switching to fedora this Saturday. But the only thing I'm always keeping an eye to MacBook is cause the battery life. ARM does nice with it. Other than that, I wouldn't pick a mac lol. But the battery life is what keeps me kinda in the fine line between buying one or not.
This was basically my situation🤷♂️ But I think it all depends on what you use your laptop for mostly. Since I do creative work, and move around alot, Mac was the obvious choice. However if your workload looks different, then maybe Windows is the better option. If anything Widows for ARM looks promising, although underdeveloped at the moment🙃 Thanks for watching🍻
Indeed! I have put Velcro on the back of my MacBook as well as my SSD’s, this way I can bring them easily. My workflow revolves around these SSD’s. Everything is stored on them, and then backed up to a home server I have setup at a relatives place. This way it’s fast for me to work locally, and my data is backed up and safe.👍 Thanks for watching and thanks for your question 😊🍻
Two words: Hot Bagging. Close your laptop and put it in your bag. 4 hours later you reach into said bag and it's 40 degrees in there and your laptop battery is dead. This has happened to me with Lenovo and Dell, on Windows 7-8-10-11. Apparently this is solved with Windows on ARM, so I'm looking at you Intel!
This⬆️ I have sincerely thought my bag was gonna burn up on a few occasions 😅🔥 Never had it happen with the Mac yet😁 Lets hope Windows ARM solves it🤞 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Agreed. IOS is soooo slow! It takes like 2-3x longer to do a task then on android... Everything is just burried in sub menus, slow gestures & too many animations. Shame really since I think IOS look neat🤷♂️ Thanks for watching and commenting🍻
Mac has fast hardware and incredibly fast and well coded software... it's the design of both that slows people down. Like having a USB charge input on the bottom of your Apple mouse, or needing to diddle around or get third party apps just to split your screens. That being said, I'm from the future where I know Apple has now released a new OS that finally allows you to natively split your screens and use programmable shortcuts for it. But, yah, this was a massive issue for years. Years that Windows had it figured out. Shame Microsoft is now ruining that with their incessant integrated ads, data mining everything, and pushing copilot+ crap. Time for me to switch to Mac as well, I reckon.
Agreed! That’s why I’m still running an android phone, the design of IOS just makes simple tasks soooo slow! I know, although sadly I am still stuck waiting for Sequoia, so until then… Rectangle it is😅 Thanks for watching and commenting🍻
You can resolve the lack of a number keypad in one of two ways: 1) take a course in keyboarding and learn touch typing (this will greatly improve your productivity); or 2) purchase an external number keypad.
Macs are nice but somewhat limited in their capabilities. I sold my M1 MacBook in favor of a Windows laptop for its versatility and, surprisingly, better specifications. However, when it comes to tablets, iPads are unrivaled, which is why I own an iPad Pro M1 12.9Additionally, the notch seems superfluous given that the iPad Pro features a thin bezel and Face ID.
No, ipad os is extremely limiting, Samsung's tablet's have much better multitasking and productivity features along with support for DeX which is excellent, there's no point of ipads having the M series of chip cz they rarely ever make any use of that chip's power bottlenecked by ipados
@@nafeeahnaf6296 The primary distinction between iPadOS and Android lies in the professional applications unavailable on Android. While I own a Fold 6 and Dex is impressive, the absence of professional apps is disappointing. It's not feasible to compare the two regarding professional use. I have an array of Samsung products at home, so this isn't about brand bias.
Yeah, I have actually thought about getting an iPad Air to just have around the house and to do some sketches on with the Apple pencil. Would you say that the 13 (12.9) is a good size? Or is 11 enough? And yes... No excuses for the Mac team after the new Ipad launched with Face ID😅 Thanks for watching mate🍻
@@nafeeahnaf6296 I'm not sure where my comment went, but iOS on iPads has all the professional apps, which Android mostly lacks. I've owned multiple Samsung devices, and most of my home devices are Samsung. I currently have the Fold 6; DeX is amazing and truly provides a full desktop experience-it can even turn my Samsung TV into a computer. For me, it's not about what the iPad and Android can't do; it's about the professional apps.
I switched to Mac and never once looked back. The only bad thing is I use windows every day at work. Windows is feature packed yes but so buggy, slow, tempremental etc.
Massive notches makes me nervous. Can you not install windows on apple silicone? I did it with bootcamp on an intel based MacBook but may be different with the apple silicone
Ah sweet! Well I'm still on Sonoma, so that explains it. I think I'll stick to Rectangle as my solution though since I have it set to ctrl + opt + (left or right), this feels the most natural for me coming from Windows😊
I'm not sure what issue you are having with your specific machine, but Mac OS has always had a built in clipboard, cmd - c copy cmd - v paste I have been using Mac OS since 1997 and it has always been this way
Hi @watchtheskies ! Yeah, my bad, I meant to say that Mac OS doesn't have a built in clipboard history. I simply misspoke. However there are great 3rd party apps to fix this, and that offer great functionality. I was just surprised that this wasn't a native feature🙃
Good video but a bit outdated. Now that both AMD and Qualcomm have joined Apple in TSMC, both Ryzen AI9 and X Elite offer similar if not better performance to the M laptops in both raw power and heat management.
Yes… and no… there is still the issue of Microsoft & developers are being a bit behind the curve in optimising & transferring to ARM. No doubt they will catch up, and give Apple a run for their money, but that day isn’t today, and certainly not a year ago when I switched🙃 Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
I used to say the same thing I was younger, but now I prioritize security. I no longer game since everything has been repetitive. I do miss using windows for the speed and ease of use, but I take comfort knowing my data is safe when using MacOS
Yeah, I guess that is good take. I personally feel like my data is out there no matter what, so for me it comes down to what works best or the type of work I do😊 Thanks for watching and sharing😎
If you took a ruler and drew a line a cross the screen right where the notch is, you will see where the laptop screen would normally end. Apple decided instead of having a bezel, they would put extra screen around each side. Since it’s mostly the menu bar at the top anyway you actually gain more real estate that way. You get used to it and don’t even notice it’s there.
Sorry, never bought into that argument - which mirrors Apple's advertising speak. Hate the notch, hate even the idea of a notch - most other laptops manage perfectly well without a notch, even those with quite thin bezels. Completely puts me off buying any Apple product with a notch - I simply don't want a chunk taken out of my display thank you very much! As I remember, the notch seemed to come into existence when Samsung smartphones came with large edge to edge displays, which iPhones didn't have at the time, so Apple came up with a (truly awful) gimic which appeared to hint at a larger screen size too. Fairly sure Steve Jobs with his eye for simple clean design would have vetoed the idea straight away! In terms of OS prefer GhostBSD at the moment or Linux-based systems because of the freedom they give to install so much great free software and customise the system exactly how you want it to be - MacOS is too limiting/inflexible for me.
I do agree that you get used to it, but there are plenty of other good designs that would offer the same amount of screen real estate without a notch. Or since its "mostly the menu bar", then why didn't they put a hole punch there? Personally, I think that they did it just to have it look consistent with the iPhone. It's a pass for me simply cause I don't like designs that don't fill a purpose. Thanks for watching and commenting😊
Touch my finger to a button is brutally difficult I know. Touch display is the dumbest shit for most people. Its literally more effort reaching up to touch and smudge your dispaly. Your hands are already on the keyboard touchpad or mouse. I personally have never thought. "Man I wish I could touch my screen with my sticky greasy or dirty hands. Thing is bro That Mac willl be running perfectly ten years later and if you got skills It will still be fully updated on the latest OS. I do that to old 2012 Macs that run flawlessly. And if you have an iphone you can text androids iphones. Text everyone. You want to sell that Mac 5 years later. If you took care of it you might get half your money back
Thanks mate!🍻 It's got the M2 Pro chip in it, with the 16GB of RAM & 512GB of storage. Does really well, and I personally don't need more power at the moment👍
biggest tradeoff with Macs is lack of software/hardware compatibility due to frequent updates, it's not a coincidence you won't find many video reviews on using Macs after 6-8 years...
That's true! Although I would say that that goes both ways. Especially now when Windows 11 has rolled around with a bunch of new requirements. Also in my experience (& since most laptops aren't really upgradable) I have switched devices at around the 5 year mark... That is when I find that their age usually catches up to them and make them really slow... Anyhow. Thanks for watching👍
Macbooks are best. But windows is pretty close now. You should have gone with a Lenovo yoga pro 9i or a Asus pro art p16 maybe you wouldn't have gone back
Well thats the catch… ”now”… a lot has happened in the Windows for ARM space over the past year. So if I had to buy a laptop TODAY then maybe my choice had been different. But at the moment I am very happy with my Mac, and I hope it will last me a long time 😃 Thanks for watching🍻
It definitely feels clunkier & slower in ways than Windows file manager. But hey, maybe someday I will get 100% accustomed to finder anyway🤷♂️ Thanks for watching😊
4:53 it physically can’t Face ID uses a dot projection technology while windows uses the webcam feed to detect the user. Face ID is more secure for that reason
Yes, that is true, although Windows hello is getting pretty good as well. Especially when configured like in the MSI here when it has extra IR sensors and other trickery to detect fakes👍 And think of it this way: the new iPad Pro has face ID and it is 5,1mm thick... The MacBook lid is 4.... It's getting damn close. Give us Face ID already Apple😂 Thanks for watching🍻
Im havi g the exact dame issue with my MacBook all externañ SSD get randomice disconnected and last week doing a back up of a TV show I was shooting and the drive just died on me. It was murieres by the Mac, the third external drive killed by it in toree months.
Man that sucks! If you have some sort of Apple dealer or electronics repair shop nearby it might be worth having it checked out... Not sure there is anything to be done, but maybe at least you can decide what to do with it if you know there is something haywire🤷♂️ Thanks for watching and sharing your experience😊
honestly if you are happy with macos good for you but i dont want to get stuck in the appple walled garden ... so i am learning linux which is free si i may switch to linux and use windows only when neccesary (which is right now needed for me :(
Understandable. However although I am now using Mac I am not using any apple services. Not iCloud, not apple music, apple pay, final cut... None of it. I only use cross compatible services, and am sticking to a mixed eco system so that I can switch whenever I want😊 Only exception would be apple find my, for my other iPad... But hey🤷♂️ Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
Yes it would be interesting to try the new ARM laptops... only one issue, the developers haven't really caught up yet with the change, so many Windows programs still aren't optimised, leading to diminished performance. But hey, maybe next time🤷♂️ Thanks for watching!
I'm too poor for Apple, and I'm too smart for Windows that only leaves one desktop/laptop option. Linux.. it doesn't help I game too. You can't really game on a Mac. The naysayers saying you can't game on Linux, obviously play games with invasive kernel level anti-cheat. Linux is the way.
Maybe not 22 hours for the work I'm doing, but absolutely 7-8hrs+. But that is with a pretty heavy mix of editing. If I use it lighter & not as much I can go days without needing a charge💪 Personally I have never gotten more than 4hrs out of a windows laptop... And that's while watching TH-cam, not doing demanding tasks like editing😊 Thanks for watching 🍻
the whole "good hardware, inefficient software" thing was genuinely so spot on I love macOS to bits but man sometimes it feels so clunky to use because you need to be so precise all the damn time
Yup... And don't even get me started on IOS/iPadOS😅 Maybe this is worth bringing to Apples attention, many people who switch seem to think the same...🤷♂️ Thanks for watching and commenting 🍻
Ahhhh, my clickbait worked😉 Yes, and no. Yes it was my fault because I didn't give it enough time. No because it did kill my HDD, I spoke with my friend who recommended me to go with Mac, and after double checking my actions, even he told me to have it repaired or returned🙃 Simply just some bad luck... But hey, it all worked out in the end😊 Thanks for watching🍻
Nice hardware, bad software...the same as Windows based devices. I just checked, the M3 Pro is 55 000 in my country....that is nuts. The M3 Max is 77 000...double nuts. I only work on and with Windows. I find it user friendly and fast IF the OEM follow Microsoft's recommendation for specs. All my W11 and W10 devices boot up within 10 seconds, I dont use hybrid sleep which boots them up even faster. The gripe I have with Windows based devices...is third party software. Web browsers on Windows are going bonkers with their huge memory usage (1 tab on this TH-cam uses 1.6GB of ram with browser protection addon).Microsoft should really FORCE developers down a certain path when designing applications for Windows. Guidelines and security protocols must be enforced so the app just works and works correctly.
@@bitcoinjc Ja, dit is so klein bietjie bo die finansies van die meerderheid mense. Gelukkig het ek nie dit nodig nie en dit wat ek kan doen met die Apple, kan ek net so maklik met my Windows rekenaars doen.
Yes, Apple's pricing is quite frankly RIDICULOUS!... However for the creative apps I use it crushes my Windows laptop. And even though I have tried many of the tricks you mentioned, I just can't get Windows to wake up as quickly as I want it to, nor for it to retain it's battery well while sleeping... Anyhow.

Apple is investing in gaming, there are already some amazing games and they put a lot of effort into making it easier for developers to port their existing games. They’ve really gone all out and it shows: Resident evil 4 / 7 / village, along with death stranding and a day one release for the next assassin’s creed game.
@@martijnvanderwal3976 Honestly - 5 ported games is not justifiable for me to call it a proper laptop for gaming. There is no motivation for developers to port new, or old games to MacOs. Maybe if they somehow tried to get them on some sugar (like with artists on Apple music and Dolby Atmos support). Also, I think if Apple means gaming seriously - they should create a separate app store for games - their own game launcher. App Store, currently, is not just built to download 60 GB games and games in general.
I use Mac OS, Windows 11 and Linux. The only thing I can say that Mac OS needs to improve is the file manager.
The only thing Linux needs to improve its more newer hardware compatibility.
The only thing Windows needs to improve is the entire operating system.
Sounds about right 😂

I have to disagree here. There were many little annoyances with mac when coming from windows. The one that annoys me the most is the drag and drop delay when using double tap to drag stuff. And in general the whole mouse/cursor behavior on mac feels worse than on windows to me.

I also moved to a Mac recently after a lifetime with Windows and found your video very interesting. I also have had a hard time getting used to Finder after Windows Explorer but find the sound quality of the speakers and trackpad much better than any of my PC laptops. The best thing is when you close the lid on the Mac and open it the next day, you battery is not draining down. Windows on ARM is looking promising but they would have to improve their GPU performance to catch up with Apple for creative users.
This is EXACTLY how I feel about Windows ARM. It's promising, but really hasn't proven itself yet. And my fear is that Microsoft won't put enough guidelines into place so that developers can provide a consistent experience.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts🍻
Just enable hibernation to activate when you close the lid on windows. Problem solved.
@@Helios.vfx. That still won’t let it instantly wake like a Mac. It’s just not the same realm of polish.
@@Tr4ns1st0r I reckon that. But the laptop is turned off and won't drain battery ( therefore no complains ) but has everything as I left it the day before. Works for me at least.
@@Helios.vfx. Yeah, it’s certainly not a terrible solution.
it's all a matter of habit, only. I worked for 15 years on Windows and Android. 3 years ago I replaced everything with the Apple ecosystem. Mac Studio, studio display, iPad, iPhone, watch. At first I wanted to cry - but the deeper I went, the better it was. These systems are simply different, in Apple there are things that are not in Windows and vice versa. Now when I sit down to Windows or take Android in my hand I feel as lost as when I first sat down to Mac
Yes, that’s the that’s part of the beauty isn’t it? That it’s all different😊 At the moment though I’m very happy with my hybrid ecosystem. Mac and iPad, but still running android. I just can’t get over how slow iOS feels to nevigate😅 However I wouldn’t mind trying an iPhone in the future… maybe next phone 🤷♂️

There are many videos that talk about switching from Windows to MacOS. It's always interesting to see how everyone does it differently. I think for work, personal stuff, creative people (musicians, video producers, graphic artists, programmers...) a Mac with Apple Silicon is by far the better choice. Gamers: should (still) stick with Windows or buy a console.
Agreed! For all my work purposes my Mac BLAZEZ all my previous Windows machines! But yeah for games the MSI is great!

I hate the window management of mac but it being a UNIX based OS and apple silicon performance and battery efficiency overshadows that weakness for me as a programmer.
Absolutely!

I’m a relatively advanced computer user myself, however I am also limited by screen readers. Until more recently, VoiceOver on the Mac sadly had some major issues that meant it was not really a viable main system. However, this year I purchased the MacBook Air, M3. And it is now my primary machine. Absolutely mind blowing how fast this machine is, on top of that, I’m running Windows 11 arm in a virtual machine on the Mac. The windows honestly feels as fast in that virtual machine, as any windows machine I’ve ever used. Maybe faster actually. LOL. So yeah, I now use a Mac which allows me to use Windows more efficiently than any Windows machine out there. 😂
LOL😂 Sounds like I’m going to have to try that myself just for the fun of it😂
Thanks for watching and for sharing your experience 🍻
A few things: The extra keys are more or less the same as you get on a windows keyboard, you have option rather than alt, you have command rather than the windows key. Also remember that these keys go back to the beginning of the Mac’s history and pre-dates the windows keyboard.
Face ID is not simply a camera looking at a two dimensional object (as is the case with Windows Hello) and using software to map facial features, these systems can be spoofed with a small amount of effort. Apple decided when they created Face ID that they wanted something that wouldn’t be spoofed by two dimensional objects (like a photo).
Apple wanted a system that looked at real three-dimensional objects so they’ve added in an array of sensors (Dot projector, flood illuminator, infrared camera, and front facing camera) it’s these additional sensors that currently do not fit within the depth of the MacBook display housing. Apple has gone to some length to publish white papers on the security of its biometric systems particularly FaceID, I would recommend reading them if your at all interested.
Apple is also all-in on touch ID, which is its original biometric standard. Apple won’t compromise on the security of its biometrics, so until Apple can solve for the Face ID implementation touch ID will have to do.
As for dragging objects into folders it’s not required that you drag it over the folder, you only need to do this if you are not already in the desired folder.
What Apps or services appear in the menu bar is up to you, you can disable all of the included Apple services, along with any third party App that also has a menu bar item. Disabling any of the menu bar items you don’t need will help you to clean up the interface and allow you to focus on just the items you’re concerned with.
Any widgets within notifications center (clicking the date and time in the upper right) can be removed and notifications can be disabled as well.
The clipboard history feature in windows was only added recently as part of Windows 10. However, the idea of a clipboard manager goes back to the early 1990’s both platforms resisted adding this as a native tool for decades. A major role of the development community is to built tools that fill the void that the OS does not provide for. This makes It a difficult call for any OS platform to cannibalize ideas from its third-party development community. To do so will often result in the alienation of its developers, and hurts the very developer communities that Microsoft, Apple, and others spend so much time, money, and effort building up.
Hey mate! Thanks for watching and taking your time with this comment❤️🍻
And just to keep the discussion going a bit:
1. Yeah, I know it's similar with the modifier keys. It was just in the beginning I felt like a few Apple "shortcuts" weren't as intuitive as ctrl or ctrl+alt, so I simply question, the need for an "extra" button... Just like I question why the Windows key exists😅 Like seriously who uses it except for split screen and clipboard🤦♂️
2. I'm sorry if I seem argumentative, but the new iPad Pro is 5.1mm & the Mac lid is roughly 4mm, if not a bit more, so it's getting close... + the MSI actually has ir cameras & sensors to aid against simple spoofs like photos. W-Hello has gotten a lot safer lately. Maybe not FaceID safe, but safe enough for me to trust it on the MSI. So still 0 excuses for Apple IMO😉
Also, I have noticed that many have misunderstood my point here. I have 0 complaints about touch ID, or the lack of FaceID, my complaint was the notch. I don't like designs that don't fill a function🙃
Anyway. Thanks for sticking around🍻
@@jackdehosson your welcome, I hope you continue to enjoy your time on the Mac!
i am pretty sure windows hello is not just the camera as not every laptop have this feature (my laptop dont have it)
@@xgui4-studios only a camera with IR has been required. Microsoft’s of late is increasing the requirements to improve security, but yeah Windows hello doesn’t require much.
@@xgui4-studios You're correct. Windows hello can also be used with a finger print or a 4 digit pin (depending on the PC in question.)
I think you got an area incorrect reason why a windows is slower is because it's not using the graphics card exporting the video or video playback whereas the macbook by default users media engines hence the smoother performance so you will need to use the rtx 4070 boat render and export
Probably doesnt have the paid version of davinci resolve. You need paid version to get hw acceleration in davinci for windows.
I think you are onto something here. I was running the free version of Resolve on Windows and only recently upgraded to Resolve Studio. Maybe worth another shot.
Although I did try my best to force the GPU to do as much as possible on the MSI, so there really isn't an excuse for for example LR to run slowly compared to the Mac...
Anyhow. Thanks watching and commenting🍻
@@jackdehosson I highly doubt it an rtx 4070 are in export and even playback destroys the m3 max if not the ultra and there a tons of videos on the internet which tells that and not just me pls have a look at it
@@jackdehosson depends on what you do. Heavy edits with alot of fx and 3d work, the rtx will crush it. lightroom is more cpu dependent.
Go on Nvidia driver and set it manually that resolve use GPU and not iGPU
2:35 This is the main problem with the Windows platform in general. The utilization is just horrendous compared to Apple. You can have a mainframe of a Windows device (desktop/laptop) but it just doesn't use the power in most of my scenarios, resulting in much slower performance. This becomes apparent in applications for photo editing like LR Classic or smaller software. Everything from making simple edits to exporting times doubles. No, my M1 pro just kills my own pc, although it supposed to be much faster if you are looking at the raw specs. So for gaming -> pc Everything else -> Mac. I wish this was different so I could have saved some of my hard earned money but no. Not atm at least (looking at you Qualcomm).
If you compare a M1 Air to a standard Windows laptop, you will encounter longer battery life (+beter sleep battery performance), beter trackpad, beter speakers, beter screen, beter keyboard, beter microphone, no performance hit on battery power, and this is not even getting to the utilization of the singlecore performance and ram usage. It's just a no brainer.
My experience EXACTLY! Agree, agree, agree! Going to be interesting how Windows transition to ARM goes🫣

I'm having "another go" at getting into Mac (he says, typing this on a Pixelbook). I'd say neither platform is perfect (and I spend quite a bit of time in Linux as well), but I feel like it's harder to justify sticking with Windows when something simple like a mouse starts misbehaving - and it's not just one machine either. I liked your take on the problem... Sub'd because it'd be rude not to with videos like this :)
Sweet, well good luck on your Macintosh journey😅

I mean Face ID on the iPhone uses LiDAR and requires more sensors than just an RGB camera, that’s why it works in the dark and is very secure. They probably could do some sort of face recognition using an RGB camera like on your windows laptop, but it wouldn’t be as secure (perhaps it’s even possible to unlock with a 2D picture) and it wouldn’t work at night either.
Hey @martijnvanderwal3976 !
Thanks for watching!
Yes you are not the only one to point this out, however I don't completely buy it. Yes Face ID is definitely still more secure, but Windows Hello has come along way, and can no longer be fooled by just an image, or similar attacks. For example in this MSI, it uses IR sensors to help define who is unlocking the device. You can even see these IR sensors being picked up by my camera at @1:40 in the video😊 So it is no longer "just" an RGB camera.
Plus, in this crazy world we live in with vision based AI, I would be ready to trust "just a camera" anyway. For example, my Pixel 8 Pro offers face unlock using just the front facing camera, and I have never had anyone else get through.
Thanks for the discussion & for watching🍻
The menu bar is only cluttered if you want it to be. Same thing with notifications. You can control these things and decide for yourself. My menu bar is pretty clean and I don't get much notifications either. And if you don't like clutter, then just take a look at the systray on Windows with all the preinstalled useless bloatware. Now that's a mess for you.
For example, you can remove the icon for both bluetooth and wifi, because those things can still be accessed by clicking on the icon for the control center. And in most apps you can disable the menu bar icon in the settings menu (unless it's a pure menu bar app, but nobody is forcing you to use those apps). It's not that difficult to keep it clean. They just give you the option to decide for yourself.
as a graphic designer who uses windows the battery life sucks and honestly i don’t know why i didn’t buy a macbook because my whole eco system is almost Apple. I just don’t have the money right now sadly but i wish to have my hands 1 day on a macboook
Yeah as a graphic designer you'd love it. But save up, and then buy last year's chip to save a few dollars👍 That's what I did, the M3 was released, so I bought the M2 MacBook at a discount 😊
Oh and if you're already in the Apple eco-system that a Macbook is no brainer... However I would recommend the route I've taken which is not to rely on any of apple's apps or services. This means that I can switch to whatever OS I want, whenever I want, without it being a major pain😊
Thanks for watching and good luck 🍻
Another thing that annoyed me immensely when I had my MacBook Pro and iMac, was that you can’t see what’s inside a folder in Macs.
I can see what’s inside folders in Windows which saves a lot of time searching.
Ie transparent folder icons.
Plus all those weird shortcut key combinations. 😂 I can never remember them. And the “option” key… at first I was looking on the keyboard for an “Option” key and could never find the darn thing! …option…
Huh, now when you mention that... that is annoying😂 Damnit, now I'm gonna be bugged by that for a while😂
Thanks for stopping by🍻
@@jackdehosson Sorryyyy! Hahaha... But if you have a folder full of pictures and you know therre were photos of a town in one folder and another folder with some pictures of a house fire in another, it was easy to look at the folder and see which one has the town pictures and not the house fire. In MaOS you have to go into every darn folder to find the pictures.
With hundreds of folders it is not easy just going in and renaming every folder.
As a lifelong windows user too, I can’t regret switching to an M1 Mac. Everything is just simple and smooth. After some time, the interface becomes more logical than Windows.

Mate, you’ve probably spent over 10 or 15 years on Windows and only a couple of months on macOS. Of course, it seems complicated or confusing. Believe me, if you had spent those 15 years on a MacBook and then tried to switch to Windows, you’d be confused as well. I had never used macOS before buying my MacBook Air M1, and it took me a year to do things naturally without having to think about how it’s done.
Sure thing, and as said, the Mac already feels like second nature! However I think it is important to compare the two, and their respective drawbacks and benefits, in order for both sides to progress and become better user experiences, no matter what side of the fence you reside☺️

Modifiers Keys both operating system uses all three modifier key. Most people really don’t realize it because one is just dedicated for Microsoft unlike macOS. Hit the Windows key it will open the start menu so you can search. This feature has been built into Windows for years, Think it was started back in the Windows Vista days. The alt+Control on windows are designed for developer to use. While you can use the Windows key as a modifier key most developer follow Microsoft advice and don’t use it.
FaceID is a true depth camera system not just face recognition software. The catch to this is a person can take a photo and open your Windows machine with Windows Hello. They might have fixed this with technology over the years since Windows Hello was introduced. At the time of release it wasn’t all that secured. With Apple true depth camera system this is not supposed to happen. It is supposed to be able to detect if it is a photo or a real person.
Clipboard yes macOS has a clipboard! Well actually it is called a Paste Board, the only difference is that it doesn’t keep a history like Windows does. The hotkey is command+(x,c, or v). Apple Paste Board even work a crossed iCloud, just like clipboard on Windows work with OneDrive.
The Menubar well this can be an advantage & disadvantage at the same time. While windows has only the Task Bar it does have a feature for this as well. To fix this issue with macOS you can use an App like Bartender. The fact that most app’s I use on macOS don’t even have that large of top row menu I really don’t worry about it. On Windows it was called the System Tray. System Tray is where all of your app’s that support the System Tray will run. Same feature it just has a pop up windows to view instead of all them layout like macOS.
As for Control Center well I kinda like macOS version better than windows version. Both operating system has a Control Center. Apple just has more services that are integrated into their Control Center.
Notification Center well I don’t know if someone has even named this view. It the view that slides out of pop up on both operating systems. Have you ever got a notification on Windows 11, well it is this view where that notification lives until it is dismissed. The only difference with this view in both operating system is macOS allows for widget in this view. Oh wait not you can put widget on you desktop. While windows has another view for widget in Windows 11 until they remove it because no uses it aging. Microsoft has gone down this road a few times and never gets anyone to develop widget for their operating system.
So, to top it off all the features you didn’t like both operating system has all the features. They just act and preform differently on both systems. Besides the Menu bar app deal I really think macOS has a cleaner user interface than Windows or any other operating system I have tried.
Yeah, it really is a give and take type deal for everything mentioned🤷♂️
And I would agree that MacOS is waaay sleeker than Windows... I mean Microsoft really has a tendency to make Windows look outdated😅

I used a old MacBook for a out a month before giving it back. I was okay-ish with it. But I'm a lifetime windows user so far. I'm switching to fedora this Saturday. But the only thing I'm always keeping an eye to MacBook is cause the battery life. ARM does nice with it. Other than that, I wouldn't pick a mac lol. But the battery life is what keeps me kinda in the fine line between buying one or not.
This was basically my situation🤷♂️ But I think it all depends on what you use your laptop for mostly. Since I do creative work, and move around alot, Mac was the obvious choice. However if your workload looks different, then maybe Windows is the better option. If anything Widows for ARM looks promising, although underdeveloped at the moment🙃

Mac has fast hardware and incredibly fast and well coded software... it's the design of both that slows people down. Like having a USB charge input on the bottom of your Apple mouse, or needing to diddle around or get third party apps just to split your screens.
That being said, I'm from the future where I know Apple has now released a new OS that finally allows you to natively split your screens and use programmable shortcuts for it. But, yah, this was a massive issue for years. Years that Windows had it figured out. Shame Microsoft is now ruining that with their incessant integrated ads, data mining everything, and pushing copilot+ crap. Time for me to switch to Mac as well, I reckon.
Agreed! That’s why I’m still running an android phone, the design of IOS just makes simple tasks soooo slow!

Macs are nice but somewhat limited in their capabilities. I sold my M1 MacBook in favor of a Windows laptop for its versatility and, surprisingly, better specifications. However, when it comes to tablets, iPads are unrivaled, which is why I own an iPad Pro M1 12.9Additionally, the notch seems superfluous given that the iPad Pro features a thin bezel and Face ID.
No, ipad os is extremely limiting, Samsung's tablet's have much better multitasking and productivity features along with support for DeX which is excellent, there's no point of ipads having the M series of chip cz they rarely ever make any use of that chip's power bottlenecked by ipados
@@nafeeahnaf6296 The primary distinction between iPadOS and Android lies in the professional applications unavailable on Android. While I own a Fold 6 and Dex is impressive, the absence of professional apps is disappointing. It's not feasible to compare the two regarding professional use. I have an array of Samsung products at home, so this isn't about brand bias.
Yeah, I have actually thought about getting an iPad Air to just have around the house and to do some sketches on with the Apple pencil. Would you say that the 13 (12.9) is a good size? Or is 11 enough?
And yes... No excuses for the Mac team after the new Ipad launched with Face ID😅

@@nafeeahnaf6296 I'm not sure where my comment went, but iOS on iPads has all the professional apps, which Android mostly lacks. I've owned multiple Samsung devices, and most of my home devices are Samsung.

For me, it's not about what the iPad and Android can't do; it's about the professional apps.

Good video but a bit outdated. Now that both AMD and Qualcomm have joined Apple in TSMC, both Ryzen AI9 and X Elite offer similar if not better performance to the M laptops in both raw power and heat management.

if you want security, linux is a good option
If you took a ruler and drew a line a cross the screen right where the notch is, you will see where the laptop screen would normally end. Apple decided instead of having a bezel, they would put extra screen around each side. Since it’s mostly the menu bar at the top anyway you actually gain more real estate that way. You get used to it and don’t even notice it’s there.
Sorry, never bought into that argument - which mirrors Apple's advertising speak. Hate the notch, hate even the idea of a notch - most other laptops manage perfectly well without a notch, even those with quite thin bezels. Completely puts me off buying any Apple product with a notch - I simply don't want a chunk taken out of my display thank you very much!
As I remember, the notch seemed to come into existence when Samsung smartphones came with large edge to edge displays, which iPhones didn't have at the time, so Apple came up with a (truly awful) gimic which appeared to hint at a larger screen size too. Fairly sure Steve Jobs with his eye for simple clean design would have vetoed the idea straight away!
In terms of OS prefer GhostBSD at the moment or Linux-based systems because of the freedom they give to install so much great free software and customise the system exactly how you want it to be - MacOS is too limiting/inflexible for me.
I do agree that you get used to it, but there are plenty of other good designs that would offer the same amount of screen real estate without a notch. Or since its "mostly the menu bar", then why didn't they put a hole punch there? Personally, I think that they did it just to have it look consistent with the iPhone.
It's a pass for me simply cause I don't like designs that don't fill a purpose.

Touch my finger to a button is brutally difficult I know. Touch display is the dumbest shit for most people. Its literally more effort reaching up to touch and smudge your dispaly. Your hands are already on the keyboard touchpad or mouse. I personally have never thought. "Man I wish I could touch my screen with my sticky greasy or dirty hands.

And if you have an iphone you can text androids iphones. Text everyone. You want to sell that Mac 5 years later. If you took care of it you might get half your money back
I literally disabled the touch screen on my MSI cause it kept messing up😅
Thanks for watching and commenting🍻
I wouldn't use a touch screen on laptops ( Mac or Windows ) I don't like having it dirty 😂🤣
Pretty nice vid mate, what's the specs of your mac?
Thanks mate!🍻 It's got the M2 Pro chip in it, with the 16GB of RAM & 512GB of storage. Does really well, and I personally don't need more power at the moment👍
biggest tradeoff with Macs is lack of software/hardware compatibility due to frequent updates,
it's not a coincidence you won't find many video reviews on using Macs after 6-8 years...
That's true! Although I would say that that goes both ways. Especially now when Windows 11 has rolled around with a bunch of new requirements.
Also in my experience (& since most laptops aren't really upgradable) I have switched devices at around the 5 year mark... That is when I find that their age usually catches up to them and make them really slow...
Anyhow. Thanks for watching👍
Macbooks are best. But windows is pretty close now. You should have gone with a Lenovo yoga pro 9i or a Asus pro art p16 maybe you wouldn't have gone back
Well thats the catch… ”now”… a lot has happened in the Windows for ARM space over the past year. So if I had to buy a laptop TODAY then maybe my choice had been different. But at the moment I am very happy with my Mac, and I hope it will last me a long time 😃
Thanks for watching🍻
this is a 100k subscriber type of video how tf u only got 37
Thanks mate!
Stick around for more future shenanigans🍻
I hate finder it is clunky and prefer windows explorer, your right inefficient software
It definitely feels clunkier & slower in ways than Windows file manager. But hey, maybe someday I will get 100% accustomed to finder anyway🤷♂️
Thanks for watching😊
4:53 it physically can’t Face ID uses a dot projection technology while windows uses the webcam feed to detect the user. Face ID is more secure for that reason
Yes, that is true, although Windows hello is getting pretty good as well. Especially when configured like in the MSI here when it has extra IR sensors and other trickery to detect fakes👍
And think of it this way: the new iPad Pro has face ID and it is 5,1mm thick... The MacBook lid is 4.... It's getting damn close. Give us Face ID already Apple😂
Thanks for watching🍻
@@jackdehosson you have a point!
Good video bro
Appreciate it mate🍻
so basically windows laptop = desktop and silicon macbook = laptop
windows still works as a laptop but its experience gets diminished
Pretty much🤷♂️
Thanks for watching!
Linux VMs run flawlessly on my M1 Max too
Huh, sweet! The M1 Max must be a beast hey😎
Where is delete on macbook?
Generally you use command + backspace right? Although Now when you mention it, having a dedicated delete key is kindof nice🤷♂️
Thanks for watching😊
Im havi g the exact dame issue with my MacBook all externañ SSD get randomice disconnected and last week doing a back up of a TV show I was shooting and the drive just died on me. It was murieres by the Mac, the third external drive killed by it in toree months.
Man that sucks! If you have some sort of Apple dealer or electronics repair shop nearby it might be worth having it checked out... Not sure there is anything to be done, but maybe at least you can decide what to do with it if you know there is something haywire🤷♂️
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience😊
honestly if you are happy with macos good for you but i dont want to get stuck in the appple walled garden ... so i am learning linux which is free si i may switch to linux and use windows only when neccesary (which is right now needed for me :(
Understandable. However although I am now using Mac I am not using any apple services. Not iCloud, not apple music, apple pay, final cut... None of it. I only use cross compatible services, and am sticking to a mixed eco system so that I can switch whenever I want😊
Only exception would be apple find my, for my other iPad... But hey🤷♂️
Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
great video though
Thanks mate!
Get an external USBC number pad.
Absolutely an option if I really need it👍
well I think you should use Asus s16 lunar lake instead , all these issues you mentioned are gone in the new windows laptops.
Yes it would be interesting to try the new ARM laptops... only one issue, the developers haven't really caught up yet with the change, so many Windows programs still aren't optimised, leading to diminished performance. But hey, maybe next time🤷♂️
Thanks for watching!
I'm too poor for Apple, and I'm too smart for Windows that only leaves one desktop/laptop option. Linux.. it doesn't help I game too. You can't really game on a Mac. The naysayers saying you can't game on Linux, obviously play games with invasive kernel level anti-cheat. Linux is the way.
Linux is certainly an option… but I personally needed a plug and play solution for editing specifically 👍
Thanks for watching 😊
Frankly is that 22hr battery works 22hrs? All my windows laptop bearly could stay up for 2 hrs!
Maybe not 22 hours for the work I'm doing, but absolutely 7-8hrs+. But that is with a pretty heavy mix of editing. If I use it lighter & not as much I can go days without needing a charge💪
Personally I have never gotten more than 4hrs out of a windows laptop... And that's while watching TH-cam, not doing demanding tasks like editing😊
Thanks for watching 🍻
Mac = Dead silence via Apple Silicon
Yup, love it!
the whole "good hardware, inefficient software" thing was genuinely so spot on
I love macOS to bits but man sometimes it feels so clunky to use because you need to be so precise all the damn time
Yup... And don't even get me started on IOS/iPadOS😅
Maybe this is worth bringing to Apples attention, many people who switch seem to think the same...🤷♂️
Thanks for watching and commenting 🍻
we lost him, another one left to join the Apple scam madness 😔
I knoooow🥲 Let's hope Windows for ARM catches up quickly 😎😅
Thanks for watching 🍻
Kinda clickbait title ain't it?
Yup, gotta play the game😜At least it's partially true🤷
Thanks for watching😊
So it’s your fault after all, not the Mac!
Ahhhh, my clickbait worked😉
Yes, and no. Yes it was my fault because I didn't give it enough time. No because it did kill my HDD, I spoke with my friend who recommended me to go with Mac, and after double checking my actions, even he told me to have it repaired or returned🙃 Simply just some bad luck...
But hey, it all worked out in the end😊
Thanks for watching🍻
You don't know what Linux is ?!?
Yup. Just not into that side of the tech world🙃
Thanks for stopping by🍻
nice tried dude,,,i spport your channel..
Thanks for watching!😊
Nice hardware, bad software...the same as Windows based devices. I just checked, the M3 Pro is 55 000 in my country....that is nuts. The M3 Max is 77 000...double nuts. I only work on and with Windows. I find it user friendly and fast IF the OEM follow Microsoft's recommendation for specs. All my W11 and W10 devices boot up within 10 seconds, I dont use hybrid sleep which boots them up even faster. The gripe I have with Windows based devices...is third party software. Web browsers on Windows are going bonkers with their huge memory usage (1 tab on this TH-cam uses 1.6GB of ram with browser protection addon).Microsoft should really FORCE developers down a certain path when designing applications for Windows. Guidelines and security protocols must be enforced so the app just works and works correctly.
Ek voel jou pyn. Het die M3 Pro Max gekoop, donnerse plaas se prys.
@@bitcoinjc Ja, dit is so klein bietjie bo die finansies van die meerderheid mense. Gelukkig het ek nie dit nodig nie en dit wat ek kan doen met die Apple, kan ek net so maklik met my Windows rekenaars doen.
Yes, Apple's pricing is quite frankly RIDICULOUS!... However for the creative apps I use it crushes my Windows laptop. And even though I have tried many of the tricks you mentioned, I just can't get Windows to wake up as quickly as I want it to, nor for it to retain it's battery well while sleeping...
Anyhow. Thanks for watching🍻
Why is everybody making such a big fuss about this I just use all OS all the time 😂
Because it generates good views😉😂
Thanks for watching 😎
and no offense dude. That MSI looks cheap as fuck. Im sure its a beast but. Lets see if its still relevant 5 years from now
No offense taken, just sent to the MSI engineers😅 (it was the same price as the Mac🥲)
I still think that if Apple invested into gaming... and you could run AAA games on it.. NOONE would buy Windows.
Asahi linux is moving towards this
@topcomp1066 I'd get rid of the MSI if that happened😅
Thanks for watching🍻
Apple is investing in gaming, there are already some amazing games and they put a lot of effort into making it easier for developers to port their existing games. They’ve really gone all out and it shows: Resident evil 4 / 7 / village, along with death stranding and a day one release for the next assassin’s creed game.
@@martijnvanderwal3976 Honestly - 5 ported games is not justifiable for me to call it a proper laptop for gaming. There is no motivation for developers to port new, or old games to MacOs. Maybe if they somehow tried to get them on some sugar (like with artists on Apple music and Dolby Atmos support).
Also, I think if Apple means gaming seriously - they should create a separate app store for games - their own game launcher. App Store, currently, is not just built to download 60 GB games and games in general.
