My first ever Macbook!

Picked up the Macbook Air M5 in Starlight and I'm genuinely so excited to finally switch from windows to macOS.
I gotta say though... when I first opened the box I genuinely thought Apple gave me the wrong color💀. It legit looked silver under my room lighting and I was stressing so hard for a minute. Then I changed the lighting and suddenly the warn Starlight color became visible and now I'm obsessed with it. Such a clean color!
I'm completely new to macOS and don't know shit about it yet😭. Would really appreciate it if yall can recommend must have apps, hidden features, extensions, tips or anything that made your Mac experience better🙏🏻

A genuine question

My eyesight is pretty weak and using my phone for long periods has started hurting my eyes a lot. A few people have recommended that I get an iPad because the larger screen might help.
The thing is, I personally don’t really see the appeal of an iPad yet. To me it just feels like a bigger iPhone, and I’m struggling to understand what people actually use it for on a daily basis.
For those of you who own one, did it genuinely improve your experience compared to using a phone or laptop? What do you mainly use it for that makes it worth having?

Looking for a barber

I’m new to Birmingham and struggling to find a barber who actually knows how to work with longer hair and beards properly. Most places I’ve tried only seem to do the standard taper fade / TikTok style cuts, which just isn’t what I’m after. I am growing long hair and want someone genuinely skilled with styling, layering, texture, and beard work rather than just short fades.

Any recommendations for barbers in Birmingham city centre who are experienced with long hair and more tailored cuts?

Starlight or Skyblue?

I am about to buy a new mba m5 and I am having a hard time deciding the color because I am an overthinker. Silver is too common for me and I have heard that black gets fingerprints and scratches are more visible than other colors. Now I am stuck with the decision of starlight and skyblue. Can yall suggest?
