    Hi guys

    Brand new to Mac - just bought an i7 Mac mini on Thursday complete with magic trackpad and wireless keyboard. Costly but (I'm hoping) worth it!!

    Used Windows all my life before now.

    Any tips of apps etc. to install and just tips in general would be much appreciated!

    All the best
    Sam

    Congrats on the conversion. ;)

    Well Mac Keyboard Shortcuts can be invaluable imo. Some lesser known shortcuts too.

    As it would take quite a while to type out a good beginners guide for you...
    A 3rd party website has done it for me ... and covers quite a lot of ground with starting on a mac from windows

    Worth a read anyway :)

    You probably know Cmd+Tab to move between active applications (equivalent to Window's Alt+Tab) but it took me ages to figure out Cmd+~, which moves between active windows of the current application - very useful!
