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)

maybe there is something native that is better these days but I have been using this for years. Got my first mac in 2014 (11in air).

better snap tool -BetterSnapTool allows you to easily manage your window positions and sizes by either dragging them to one of the screen's corners or to the top, left or right side of the screen. This enables you to easily maximize your windows, position them side by side or even resize them to quarters of the screen.

Or event better, Better Touch Tool. Contains also snapping management, and also let's you create a lot of custom trackpad gestures. You can customise it to make you more fluid with navigation/macros using just the trackpad.

It is payed, but absolutely worth the money in my opinion.
