The editing is just chefs kiss

Sincerely the editing shows how much efforts were put in making this video. Keep going you are doing dope and it's just a matter of time🎉

As a longtime Windows user trying out Mac, I actually adore MacOS because of how clean it looks. It doesn't have much bloat and is highly functional. Still, there are a few features that I couldn't got without (i.e. window resizing) and this tutorial helped me check off all my boxes! Huge props for the editing too.
-
This is one of the best Windows to Mac comparison videos i’ve watched. Great editing too
-
I got my MBP14 about 6 months ago, even though I know all of these now, I can feel how helpful your videos are for the new mac users, and some old mac non power users! I found you channel to be the most helpful one after watching hundreds of channels for mac tricks and tips in general! Keep up the good work!
-
This is the best edited, explained, and informative video on the Windows to Mac transition I've ever seen. I've been on the fence of switching for a while. You just got one more subscriber sir. Great Job!
-
I’ll be honest, I’ve been a Mac user for over 10 years now. I was an avid windows user before then. I have since started using windows again at work. The newer versions of windows are leaps and bounds better than the older ones. It’s fluid, snappy, and extremely easy to use.
-
One of the best explaination vidoes I have seen in a very long time. Not filled with a bunch of unnecessary filler verbiage. Concise and to the point. I have seen others that would have taken an hour to cover what you did in 11 minutes. Thanks for respecting everyone's time!

Me watching this, trying to decide a good laptop for college:
-
Give the editor a raise man... The details are 🔥. While showing the windows, the media player was open and was showing the windows close icons. Such a detailing. Great video it helped me a lot
-
I've been using Mac for so many years already and I'm still learning new stuff from this video. Thank you
-
Have been following your videos since I bought my first mac a week ago and I really appreciate the efforts you put into making these videos. ❤❤❤
-
THank you so so much, I was waiting for such a video. This one is truly the best one out of the many other great ones floating on the YouTube. Easy to follow and understand, and one simply gets amazed by the smooth transitions and edits. Have a great day Mr Vince, your uploads truly help all of us.

Very well done video. I've heard so many people say they don't want to switch to Mac because "It is too confusing", but it really isn't. This video clearly shows the main similarities and differences between Mac and windows, as well as how to perform those tasks between both systems. The editing and animation is superb as well, good job and keep up the good work!
-
THIS IS THE MOST HELPFUL VIDEO FOR NEW MAC USER. PERIOD. And yes, I capped them on purpose. I have been looking for ways to do the cut and paste without duplicating for years but none is as detailed as this one. Thank you so so much! I’m subscribing! 🎉
-
Great video. You’ve designed it for those with years of experience on a Windows environment and that’s exactly what I needed. That preface also allowed you to quickly move across a ton of topics. Thanks!
-
Your videos really helped me dive into macos in just one day (never used it before), thank you. Keep up!
-
Man! Your videos should come with the OS itself, automatically showing up on a new Mac! Absolutely amazing! And the visuals is just the cherry on top. Thanks a lot!!
-
You're a G. Very helpful. I'm a 20+ year user of Windows but looking to switch to macbook due to much better battery life, hopefully more years of use, and they just look nice. The Apple OS is what is holding me back, but your video shows it is not that difficult, just bit different in most cases
