New band design not just a new color/style.

If anyone can, it’s them. May not be as good as a dedicated trackpad but could be usable for when you don’t have the option/hardware.

Interesting idea but I wonder if it would cut the battery life too much even with efficiency improvements.

Yeah, any of his predictions outside the supply chain have historically been poor.

Everyone knows it’s an AirTag, no one believes you’re having sex. 😉

Credit card form factor or something slimmer.

You can but then you’d have to kill them.

While some things might be better with a mouse, I’ve found I much prefer the trackpad to general tasks due to the gestures and overall feel. Never used trackpads much before getting a Mac a few years ago (besides occasionally using someone else’s computer).

You could get a wrist rest.

More proof you Apple-hating cultists are ignorant as hell. Go back to Reddit and be toxic there.

I’d say the first rule about using a new OS is to not try to do everything like the old one. 80-90% is the same or similar and the rest needs to be learned or discovered. Aside from installing the apps you need for your graphic design work (like Adobe or whatever you use), I’d suggest giving it an honest try rather than installing a bunch of stuff to make it work like Windows. Of course, if you’re needing something modified or need something the native apps can’t provide, the other posters in this thread have listed a bunch of great suggestions.

As another poster mentioned, using Spotlight is a great way to finding things quickly; it’s much faster than Windows search.

Using Help from the File menu can be useful; it does a good job with built in apps and features. There are also a lot of keyboard shortcuts, so it can be useful to learn them for efficiency.

It sounds like you’re using a laptop, so I’d recommend configuring gestures as they work wonderfully with the trackpad (there’s also an option for three-finger drag which is great for moving files and windows). You can also setup hot corners for different functions. If you loose the cursor, there’s a “Shake mouse pointer to locate” option enabled by default that makes the cursor larger temporarily.

Setting up FileVault (disk encryption) and Time Machine (backups) are good ideas too. Rule of thumb for Time Machine is to get double your disk size for your backup drive- use a 2 TB backup drive if your machine has a 1 TB hard drive.

There’s a transfer utility you can use to bring stuff from your Windows machine to the Mac.

You might check out the Affinity suite of graphic design apps. They are well supported on the Mac but of course it depends on what your needs are.

It’s not and stop using “planned obsolescence” when you don’t understand what it means.

Would be cool if they brought it back. They removed it after they went to 5k and had to build a custom display controller. Kinda figured they’d bring it back eventually. I wonder if it’s a patent issue or if they have telemetry showing most iMac users don’t use target display/multiple monitors.

No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.
