CongratsGuys,
I bought my first MacBook today.
I have always been a Windows and Android user. But just started to move to Apple world.
First I got my first iPhone couple months ago. I really got hooked with it. I don't know why but Apple Ecosystem is really addictive.
I will get my first iPad next month
BTW, It's MacBook Pro M1.
Super smooth, super fast.
Got any tip for new Mac fellow?
Edit:
Things are a little weird right now.
- I can't find my close button. I just keep clicking on the corner.
- I can't find any drives, I am used to it.
- I can't find the refresh option.
- Installling software is a piece of cake.
- Spotlight search is a beast.
Do these things, you will thank me later...
1) Disable natural scrolling.
2) Buy this software called BetterSnapTool (costs peanuts... but it will quadruple your productivity).
3) Map Option key to Command, and Command key to Option (Modifier Keys from system preferences).
As for the close buttons, yes it will take time to get used to seeing in on the left side lol.
As for drives, it is more linux like than windows... so, get used to that file structure. By the way, finder is the "file explorer".
Also, get used to the shortcuts, it will save you lots of time.

If you think Spotlight is a beast, you'd LOVE Alfred. It does so many more things than Spotlight - automating tasks, having clipboard history, google/bing/amazon/etc things right from your desktop, open/close/find files, etc etc. There are endless ways to use it to improve your workflow.
PS: I do believe that Apple will eventually improve Spotlight to do everything that Alfred does, but until then - Alfred would be my personal choice.

I just got it. A ton of blessings to you as well buddy. You just showed me another world in my Mac. Thanks a lot.
Alfred is like the spotlight is on Steroid...
I love productivity tool + Notion is really smooth in Macbook.
Apple Calendar + Notes + Reminder = Scheduling the entire day. (Very easy, very helpful)

Apple has got a new Apple Fanboy!!!
I like Macbooks but I find I can work faster on Windows. Maybe I am not yet a Mac pro yet.
Very handy tip

I am a novelty chaser, so I would just buy it to sleep with it or something.
Their marketing fluff seems to work.

On the contrary, I have been using android since gingerbread. I switched to iPhone recently. This is the first time I really am pleased with a smartphone. Specially because it works with the mac pretty well, like one single device. Will never go back to android again. Iphones have exactly what i need, as well as the privacy i need.

The M1 notebooks are the ultimate meditation tool.
You can work in total silence!!!
This is the hidden benefit asperger users of Linux and Gates prayers don't realize!!!
Why Steve Jobs was so successful and vegetarian also?
He was so because of his meditation habits he started selling in computers.
Windows is f**** loud. The mechanical keyboard is mainly prevalent on Windows. This is a disaster.
People don't realize the underlying message of the Apple.
