Apple makes great MacBooks, but you can make them even better by adjusting a few settings. Here, we’ll take you through six of the best ones to change.
I love getting a new MacBook. The slow-opening box, the fresh install of macOS, even the enchanting new Mac smell — it’s all part of the experience.
To fix that, go to the More Gestures section of the trackpad settings and, next to App Exposé, choose to enable it by swiping down with either three or four fingers. I also like to change right-clicking to include both tapping and clicking with two fingers, change moving between full-screen apps to be triggered by a four-finger swipe, and a few other things. It all ensures Apple’s excellent trackpad is working to its full potential.
I also head to the Battery section in System Settings and adjust one parameter. If you scroll to the bottom of the page and select Options, you’ll get a few extra choices. I make sure Slightly dim the display on battery is enabled, but I leave the rest of the settings as they are. Finally, don’t forget to make sure that the True Tone toggle is enabled and I’ve selected ProMotion from the Refresh rate dropdown menu. It’s worth turning these on so that you don’t miss out on Apple’s adaptive color setting and variable refresh rate feature.
Finally, the following method will let you change the default app for any other file. Just repeat it for each file type. First, find a file where you want to change the app that opens it, then right-click it and pick Get Info from the context menu. Under Open with, choose a new app from the dropdown menu, then select Change All > Continue.
