After several days with his M3 MacBook Pro, he disables natural scrolling and recommends iScreenShoter for annotated clipboard screenshots. He installs Speaker Amp Booster/Equalizer, reducing bass and favoring clearer vocals for podcasts and videos; custom presets remain available. He adds Usage to monitor CPU, RAM, and disk activity, plus Calculator Plus for editable equations and calculation history.
