So after using Windows for all my life, I finally bought my first Mac and I'm making the switch. This has been a huge dilemma for me as I was bound to the Windows eco-system and Macs are very expensive. However, recently I started making more and more videos (almost 1 a day!) and I realised that moving to MacOS will allow me to improve my video editing.
I'm also going to do a lot more travelling this month and I wanted something that I can edit videos on (so I can still make my daily videos, even on the go)
Thank you Steemit
I would like to thank everyone who helped me make this decision, from supporting me on the change and advising what model to get. This is community has been amazing to me and I hope to use this computer to make more contributions to Steemit (better videos!). Now its time to buy Final Cut X
Good on you Michael. You deserve it. Enjoy your new mac. Have been following you on youtube from the very first video in march (I think it was march). And I recommend everyone in my neighbourhood who is getting into crypto to watch your channel as a sort of homework task. Lol. You are one of their first assignments of many. Lol.
These are amazing times and I am making more money on crypto than I make on my regular job.

I don't know... A Mac is like a safety sandbox with a bunch of limitations. Windows is crappy but, you have possibilities. Linux is harder to use but the sky is the limit. Really depends what you want the computer for. Also software for the Mac is expensive! Anyways, they are pretty solid and easy to use! Enjoy :D

Yes Linux!
It is also much more user or beginner friendly now.
But you still have the option to into the expert tweaks and modify how you need it.

Macbooks pro are just awesome, everything work and you don't have to worry about those stupid things that can happen. The best part is that if you ever wished to switch back to windows, you can always dual boot it :)

True that. I have a MacBook Pro myself and I've using Apple laptops since 2001. I haven't looked back even once in all those years.

Welcome to the club! :)
It took me about two weeks to get used to the much easier MacOs, but I would never switch back again. The main reason, that it took so long was that I still thought every step to complicated (in a windows way).
Have fun with your new "toy"! 😉

I think I've been exclusively Mac for more than 6 years now though I still own some Windows machines (which I'm no longer using)
There's all this condescending talk of being "Apple fanboys" but I see it more like being simplicity and productivity fanboys lol. The thing about Apple stuff is that they SIMPLY JUST WORK.
Enjoy your purchase!

Since I changed to Mac I never had any more stability problems, I open the laptop and I am working right away... The media software is the best in the world, like iMovie, Final Cut, Logic Pro, etc.
You'll love it, I am sure! :) Enjoy!
