New Macbook pro user looking for cool stuff that apple users like - eviltoast

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)

    Learn some keyboard shortcuts.

    Every email I’ve sent for the last forever has been done with Command + shift + D. It’s a small thing but man it is convenient once you memorise some stuff like that.

    Screen shots , Command + shift + 3 for the whole screen. Command + shift + 4 is for screen shotting an individual window or drawing a box around any area of the screen , press the space bar to cycle through them.

    So many of the shortcuts I use I don’t even know what I’m pressing because it’s just become muscle memory at this point.
