Did you pick up an M3 MacBook Air, or are you planning to?
@al4realz Місяць тому
I am planning to but also considering paying a little bit more for the Pro. What would you recommend?
@TheBalkenende Місяць тому
@@al4realzif you don’t depend on really high levels of sustained performance, I say go buy the MBA. MBA already is super powerful, and Apple Silicon chips all offer the same single core performance. The differences are in adding more of those CPU cores and for the GPU, when you spec up to the higher end M3 Pro/Max and yet to be announced Ultra. Because MBA is a fanless computer, it will not be able to deliver the same sustained performance as M3 MBP with a fan. But again, you only should care about that if you depend on it. 98% of people get more performance from MBA than they need.

@smoked5050 Місяць тому
I am new to Mac Book. I just purchased the new Mac Book Air M3 a couple of days ago and trying to get used to it and learn how to use it. I also have a HP and that's what I'm used to using so this is really different for me. I am trying to figure out how to open a new window in the browser. How do you do that? I am learning a lot from your video and it's very helpful to someone like me who's coming from a Windows PC.
@vellunlear4166 Місяць тому
I just got my first ever Mac as well just a couple days ago (incidentally an M3 MacBook Air). You may have already figured it out but you can press command+t and it will open a new tab in the browser. Interestingly, this also works in finder. Both of which I figured out by accident. My guess is this works in just about any app that has tabs.

Hi Brandon , something unpleasant happened to me here in the Netherlands ! 😰Before iOS 17.4 with my 14 pro max I could select the texts of a screenshot or photo and copy them but not anymore! Now only browser texts! Does it happen only to me or to others too? What can I do ? Thanks in advance !!! Maybe someone could help me?

just got my m3 air and the first thing I did was also update and turn off natural scrolling I hate it so much 😂

haha exactly! Both are must-do's!
@tronam Місяць тому
Wait, you want the content to follow the direction that your fingers are moving, so you turn off Natural Scrolling? I'm so confused.
@BrandonButch Місяць тому
I mean the scrolling to follow the direction of my gesture. So when my fingers swipe down, the content goes down
@murdockdeechte Місяць тому
Do you have problems with the heat of the CPU? I read an article that says the CPU gets way too hot during heavy tasks? who else suffers from this? because the MacBook Air has no fan

0:12 Why can’t Apple just release the iPads NOW and once we set it up, we update to that “tweaked” version of iPadOS 17.4?? Why wait until that “tweaked” version of iPadOS 17.4 is ready?
@techwithtyler20 Місяць тому
Because if it’s still called 17.4 and not 17.4.1 or 17.5, users could get confused when they’re already on 17.4 and see an update for “17.4”.
