Nothing much, it pretty much works out of the box. Try installing some good apps like:
Microsoft Office for mac
Skitch
Android File Transfer (if you have an android device)
Steam
1Password
Virtual Box (if you want to use other os's for stuff)
Iterm
Chrome
Sketch

the main reason I wanted a macbook pro 13 inch retina was bc i already have a fairly OP desktop i play my vidya on. so i was looking for the most reliable, well built, long lasting computer and it just happens that its a macbook. still getting used to osx tho

What you just described is a thinkpad, but nice try

>>53537567

lmao its sad but this is the most ive ever spent @ one time on something that wasnt a car or my apartment, but im actually happy with the purchase tho. i work at best buy so i got the macbook pro 13 retina w/ the 128gb flash for $900 so i was chill

Im actually like a huge fan of the Thinkpad Yoga 14's and I was going to go with that but my boss @ best buy cut me a deal so the price of the macbook was the same as the thinkpad. really Im just wanting to try something new even if its not in my best interest

>Im just wanting to try something new even if its not in my best interest

Then go skydiving or fuck a hooker. They're both better uses of money than buying Chinese technology

My sister bought one of these recently. It's a "nice" but very boring device. She's clicking through the icons on the dock, safari, app-store, pages etc.. and all I could think was, this is just an iphone with a keyboard.

It's a very sterile, bland experience. Waiting on the bezel to come apart from the heat will be the most exciting moment.

Its a tool you ricefag

>>53538520

You can choke on my tool anytime fuccboi.

Install BTT (BetterTouchTool) and enable window snapping. Why OSX doesn't have this by default is a fuckin mistery to me. Their full screen mode is horrid

Alfred is weak compared to LaunchBar, the only downside is the lack of workflows as in Alfred and the price but it's well worth it.

Macs can either be facebook machines or reliable developer laptops. Its all in how you choose to use it
