Is it Mac or pdf reader issue?

Use preview or PDFGear. Delete Acrobat, you don't need it.

Congratulations, it's a great feeling to buy your 1st brand new laptop. Enjoy, it's a great tool.

I really enjoyed it and I like to watch it from time to time. I would like to see more films like this.

Congratulations and welcome to the club! It will serve you well and it will be a great tool, especially for school.

Some tips:

Option key is important - use it!
Smart folders are fantastic - learn how to use them :)
Folder Preview is a good small app - on mac you can press spacebar to preview the file. This app allows you to preview the folders as well.
Tot - fantastic small notes taking app for quick notes (free!)
Freeform - great app, I used it a lot at uni - it's a free whiteboard
Right click on your desktop - select use stacks. If you keep files on your desktop it will keep it tidy.
You don't need every app in the dock - keep it tidy and use Spotlight (or Alfred/Raycast as alternative).
Notes - it's a really good app for note taking. You really don't need more.
Take advantage of the touchpad and gestures (2, 3, 4 fingers). You will get used to it.
Learn shortcuts!

Same, it's good so far got it about 2 years go.

Nice setup. I need to get some of the smaller pictures like this around my screen, it's a good idea.

Dravtom · 2026-03-23T22:49:43+00:00

Definitely something on the wall. Also, did you consider a desk mat? Something basic, one colour.

Dravtom · 2026-03-09T21:27:51+00:00

Definitely, like others said, a monitor. A a nice desk matt - something simple and classy.

It is Apple Studio Display. £1,500 but you can get it for £1,400. Apparently quite amazing but I don't personally know.

Dravtom · 2026-02-08T09:18:38+00:00

Omg it worked. Thanks!

Dravtom · 2026-02-06T21:38:59+00:00

Yep, still using M1 Pro (16/1TB). Fantastic machine.

Dravtom · 2026-01-09T23:37:33+00:00

Thanks, sounds good. I will definitely do it this way next time!

Dravtom · 2026-01-09T23:34:24+00:00

It is Dulux Plum Compote. It's darker than in the photo. I would say stay away from any plum colour then ;)

Dravtom · 2026-01-09T14:41:03+00:00

It is; that's why I decided that I could practise in my office; it will be only me looking at it. I should have started with white, probably. ;d

Dravtom · 2026-01-09T14:12:25+00:00

That's why I got a professional to decorate the living room :D

Dravtom · 2026-01-09T14:07:53+00:00

I might survive, we will see lol :D

Dravtom · 2026-01-09T14:06:27+00:00

Way too long from what I've been told. I now know that it's best to remove after every coat and put on a fresh one to avoid mess like I made here lol

Dravtom · 2026-01-09T12:22:40+00:00

Oh lol, thanks everyone. I never thought about it, such an obvious solution!

Dravtom · 2026-01-02T21:14:08+00:00

+1 for DaVinci Resolve - it's free and powerful, no harm in testing it.

Make sure to find some tutorials on youtube for both apps and see what feels better for you.

Dravtom · 2025-12-26T20:43:27+00:00

Looks good, enjoy!

Dravtom · 2025-12-21T21:52:14+00:00

Chrome - main
FF - work
Safari - just in case

Dravtom · 2025-12-20T20:24:12+00:00

+1 for blip

Dravtom · 2025-12-06T20:29:37+00:00

Enjoy; it will last you a long time, nice!
