Uh, hope you don't miss right-clicking.

Dude, this is a gaming website. I don't think anyone here knows anything about macs.

1. Took me a while, actually.

2. Off-topic forum.



Buy a PC!



You can set a corner of the trackpad for the "right-click"

As for the other things, uhm play around with the trackpad, is one of the best things it has. Also you can set the "hot-corners" in Mission Control menu in preferences.

Really don't know what else to say, if you have any question go agead and send me a message.

Ya, benao87 is right that the trackpad is the one of the best things on the mac. But I just have mine set so right click comes up when I click with two fingers.

Really all you have to do is play around with it, which is what I did when I got mine. I will now and forever be a mac user. I don't care how much I have to spend. I will always get a mac. Plus, my cousin recommended me the macbook because I'm going to school for game design and he uses his for his animations he does.



Last time I used a mac was back in grade 6. The colourful looking one that had all the components in the monitor.

Tip: switch back to a PC



Nintendo and PC gamer

Go hang out a the local hippie latte place, you will be welcomed with open arms and wont get dirty looks like PC laptop commoners like me.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Well, I do like the Kindle app when I forget my Kindle. I also like iMessage (even though it's in beta right now). I just use it mainly for school and internet browsing. That's it :) Just always keep it updated through the software updates. Which version did you get?



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"
