It is clear that it is one of the quintessential laptops and, therefore, we must be able to get the most out of it.
That is precisely why we have written this article, so that those of you who have a MacBook Pro are aware that with a few details and some other advice, you can have a better prepared computer.
If you want to know what those details are, we are going to start telling you right now. Be very attentive.
screen scale
This is a section that everyone will have to look at one by one until they find the right one, but what is certain is that the screen scale that is predestined in macOS is not for everyone.
It is best to open System preferences (Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen) and then enter screens.
After that we should go to Resolution and select scaled. At that moment we will be able to adjust the text (larger or with more space) to test all the possibilities and see which one best suits our tastes and our view.
Another possibility that we can disable is that of Adjust brightness automaticallysince it can be annoying that the control is carried out by the computer and not by us.
You might as well decide not having True Tone activeanother tool that changes the screen based on ambient brightness.
screen corners
The function hot corners it’s one that macOS uses to trigger a function when you move your cursor to one of the corners of the screen.
By default Mac only uses one of the four corners and makes it so that QuickNote works a tool that may not be liked by all users or simply unknown.
Well, you can activate, thanks to Hot Corners, the option Mission Controlwhich shows all the open windows on each of the screens, that of Deskwhich allows you to temporarily hide everything on the screen to show only the desktop, or you can also choose Put the screen to sleep.
Customize the browser
At the moment when we are using Finderwe push Command + and so we will open the preferences of this tool.
yes in general we click on the button next to Hard Driveswe will make these always visible on the desktop, something that can be very practical and should be activated by default.
If we touch the sidebar at the top of the Finder preferenceswe make sure that music and pictures are visiblein addition to all the views of the computer connected drivesincluding the network and the internal drive of the computer.
To finish, let’s Advanced and activate the two options keep folders up. This will make everything at the top, much more at hand.
disable scrolling
At this time we must touch trackpad within System preferencesto change various default macOS preferences.
For example, we can improve our visualization with Scroll&Zoomturning off the direction of Scrool: Natural Setting. That reverses the default scroll direction on Mac, to make it just like an iPhone.
Also in Point&Clickwe can have the option disabled Playwhich saves you from having to press harder when clicking something, as that causes a lot of accidental clicks.
If you think the cursor speed Apple is too slow, you can change by moving the tracking speed needle to the right.
dark or auto mode
if we go to Would you rather system and then to general We will see the three types of configurations for the screen.
We can choose between Light, Dark and Automatic. Now it depends on each one, but it seems that the dark mode is the most advisable or even the Auto, so that it varies from light to dark depending on the time and the brightness.
Here it is the user who decides, so we cannot consider that one is better than the other, since it is the user who must decide which is the one that best suits his view and way of understanding the screen.
password manager
The versatility that a password manager provides today is tremendous, because we are registered on a lot of different sites.
That is why these types of tools are very important to achieve fluency when entering any registration page.
At any given moment, no matter how good memory we have, we may not remember the password for a specific site, unless we always use the same one, something that is a blunder and that can have devastating consequences.
Well, for when we don’t remember our registration data we can use 1Password and everything will be solved, since it will tell us exactly what is the username and password where we want to enter.
All Mac users and experts agree that this is the best tool out there right now to take care of our passwords.
