Hey apple enthusiasts! im a windows/android user so dont be too mean to me, but i got a macbook pro recently because my laptop kicked the bucket and im a graphic designer looking for a reliable and relatively powerful machine.

ive been reading about macbook stuff and trying to figure out the macOS.

Are there any things you would have hoped you'd known before getting into the macbook game? Or just any apps/ things these computers can do that are unique and cool? basically tips for an apple newb

thanks!

(unrelated but how are more people not mad about 60hz screens for 1700 bucks lol)

I think the big things are getting used to CMD+Space for opening applications and search, and getting used to the fact that you have an actual terminal instead of a command window.

    Also, after getting used to the whole spotlight thing, I strongly recommend getting Raycast, or maybe other alternative, but Raycast is my favourite.

    It has a lot of customisation options, including plugins, and really neat clipboard history. This will absolutely make you more productive.

    It has a learning curve… but it’s awesome. Replaces spotlight and does so much. I use a plug-in that allows direct search of my Arc web browser and/or arc open tabs. Awesome to jump straight to a specific tab from anywhere on computer. Also… highly recommend Arc browser.. built on chrome so super compatible… but revamps and modernizes the ui… adds spaces which are awesome
