(b) Using Spotlight to increase speed
Your Macbook's speed can be enhanced through Spotlight. You can do that by clicking on Command+ Space and then find files or search online, open apps or do system-wide searches. This is the easiest way to speed up your Macbook.
(c) Using Spotlight for converting currency
You can also use Spotlight to get exchange rates and make currency conversions.
(d) Using Spotlight to get scores and schedules
Spotlight can be also used for getting match scores and schedules for several sports. You can click on Team Schedules/Score and get results directly.
(e) Using Spotlight to see definitions
Spotlight also shows definitions of words if you simply type in a word. In case the word you are searching for is not present in the inbuilt offline dictionary, then you get suggestions from online dictionaries. By clicking Command +L, you will be directed to the inbuilt dictionary entry.
(f) Using Spotlight to check weather
You can even check weather forecasts and updates of any city on Spotlight using "Weather in city name".
2. Shutting tasks
It almost always happens that the Macbook freezes which forces you to end some on-going tasks or running apps. But you cannot click "Ctrl Alt Delete" in Macbook to get out of such a situation. Instead, you have to hit Command + Option + Escape to shut tasks down, which is slightly faster than right-clicking on every single app which has stopped working.
3. Deleting files
A faster way of deleting files on your Macbook is to just select a file, and click Command + Delete. This is easier and quicker than manually dragging each file individually.
4. Using natural language to search
You can search for files using natural language as if you are having a conversation with someone. You can find files using phrases like- "documents I created last June" or "photos from last November".
5. Apple's QuickTime Player
You can record audio or video of any kind, playing on your screen using QuickTime Player, without downloading any third-party software.
