Been a long long time windows user, and switched to mac for 5 years now.

If you're familiar with Windows, switching apps can be done with alt+tab, or Windows+tab.

In Mac, command+tab works exactly the same as alt+tab in windows, and you don't even need to have your right hand leaving the touch pad to press f3, swipe up with 3 fingers you can see all apps.

There's also a function you can enable in touchpad, swipe down with 3 fingers you can see all tabs within the same app. Let's say you have many Finder window opened along other apps and want to see only all the Finder tabs, swipe down with 3 fingers.

The touchpad gesture is what makes me a convert, haven't experience anything like that in Windows environment.

The work flow is much better than windows since I switched which was around windows 7 time. Now I dunno if windows improved, but Windows 10 on my dad's desktop sure looked complicated...

Anyone seen the new Asus Zenbook 3?
Really similar tithe MacBook in size as well but with proper i5 to i7 specs.
Downside is the same 1 USB-C port only and it's by Asus lol.

I bought the MacBook 2016 (1.2ghz/512GB version) a few weeks ago and am very happy. Bought some extra USB Type C to Type A cables and the Sandisk Ultra dual drive on Amazon and have not looked back. I briefly considered the MacBook Pro but portability, physical size and weight was far more important to me. I don't play dota or csgo, but have tried Civ V on it at HiDPI and it works great.

The only minus to the new MacBook is that the battery doesn't last as long as the MBA 13 but I'm willing to give up some for the portability. No issues with performance at all so far although I don't do anything super intensive.

the downside for this macbook is no thunderbolt usb c..!

u can get a power bank to charge the macbook

Have you tried it? I have and it's painfully slow. For my 20,000mAh powerbank, the charging rate is lower than the Macbook consumption so the battery percentage actually goes down (albeit at a slower rate) if you try to charge and use at the same time.

The Apple USB type C charger is rated at 29W while a typical powerbank can charge at roughly 10W only (2.1A x 5V) which is why it's much slower.

I gave up trying to charge using a powerbank until I can get a new powerbank that'll be able to pump out 3A or higher from the USB type C port.

Is it a good idea to get this new macbook and a 21inch monitor for my home usage?

I'll need a laptop to carry around so iMac is out of the question...

have u try this?

Ya the Xiaomi power bank looks good, 3.6A output, lightweight, and at least they're quite clear that it can only charge while the Macbook is not in use. Will wait a bit while the world catches up on USB type-C connectors.

The 3.6A output is for both ports on the Xiaomi power bank right? So it is like 1.8A max per port?
