This is an awesome phone. I really loved it. I bought it when it first came out, but I had to say goodbye to it. Thank you for all the love and memories, iPhone XR, you will be missed. 😔

Right…! Seat tight and hold on to your seat belts as I’m about to share my first-ever impressions of a MacBook coming from a lifelong Windows machine user. Or, you could grab a packet of popcorn and continue reading. Okay! The first question, “Am I impressed?” Yes, I freaking am.

First of all, the build quality is very nice to feel, and it feels strong and reassuring. I feel this machine could be used for 7 years at least, taking into consideration that Apple will also be providing OS updates for that long. The next thing is,” How is the display?” The display is very nice, nicer than most Windows laptops, as this one comes with a 2K display resolution. Watching content on this machine is a treat, to be honest. Righ! Let us come to the next point. How are the speakers? The speakers are also the same as the display, meaning it is better than most Windows laptops. The bass is punchy, and the vocals come out clearly. In short, I’m loving MacBook, MacBook Neo to be precise.

Right! Next comes the topic, how is the user interface?. Specifically, how is macOS for first-time users who are coming from a Windows machine? It isn’t that hard to be honest. I would like to throw in a tip here: use an AI service to get work done if you are a first-time MacOS user (I use Google Gemini AI, and it helped me immensely). It has been more than one month since I laid my hands on this beauty, and I’m still in love with it. The animations are something that will definitely keep you hooked. There is a major disadvantage, though, if you use an Android phone, as macOS doesn’t support “drag and drop” of files for Android devices; for portable storage devices, it works fine. However, you can use the “LocalSend” app, and it is a lifesaver, literally.

And oh! I almost forgot, the ports are limited to just two, and they are also configured to USB-C. So, if you want to attach more accessories, then you have to get a USB Dongle. Don’t worry about this much, as a USB Dongle can be had from online shopping sites like Flipkart and Amazon for not more than 600 INR.

Long story short, “Am I loving this machine?” It is a definite “Yes” for me. I got this machine for 65,000 INR, and I strongly feel this is a “great buy”. I guess this is it for this post, then. Do hit me up in the comment section if you have questions, and I’ll answer them.

Hey community, I'm unable to use my Android phone as a drag-and-drop device on my MacBook Neo. I've tried the "commander" app and it actually gets the job done however after some time it asks for fees. Please suggest a solution to my issue where I don't have to pay extra money. Thank you in advance.
