There are some differences that I’ve noticed on the user end between MacBook and PC.
These are simple things that I, a former PC user, have to get used to:
- Maximizing my screen
I was used to hitting that little “+” sign and filling the screen. But now I realize that I do not need my web browser (Fi22refox)to fill the whole screen!
There is a little green button that toggles the screen between the standard state and the size that I determine.
I prefer this option because when I am home I hook my MacBook up to a 22″ monitor and I really do not need that whole screen filled with one application!

Easy solution - tap on the Trackpad with two fingers!
This can be set under System Preferences, Keyboard & Mouse, Trackpad.
As a bonus, I can easily scroll by using two fingers on the Trackpad! - CTRL + ALT + DEL
If I need to force quit on my MacBook I just need to hit
COMMAND + OPTION + ESC
I did have to use this when I was having problems with Photoshop Elements.
That was the only time I needed to Force Quit a program! - Virus scan
I use Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy religiously on my PC. But I have not bothered with either of these on my MacBook and it still works efficiently! - Installing programs
This is a whole different experience than on a PC. There’s simple dragging onto the “Applications” icon and voila - there it is!
