MacOS Big Sur Review: 2 Months Later. Should You Upgrade Now?

This such a a cool video!

Thank you, Brian! You certainly know your stuff! I use Clean My Mac regularly- wouldn't do without it!

Remember when Microsoft came out with Vista and everyone hated all of the translucent stuff? Funny how that's now considered modern and fresh.

am I the only one who wont update because of how ugly it is

Been using a Mac for five plus years. Mac OS Big Sur will be the sole reason that I get rid of my Mac and buy a Dell XPS at the first chance I get. This update favors form over function and is completely ass backward.

THICC SURRR

I wanted to know do you have to have to have the big Sur?

How can I change system app/folder icons? In the system, not for the installed apps after system installs.

What to do if the update installation of Big Sur is stuck? Been a week now.

Anyone here solve the big sur installation issues? It seems like it ruin my laptop. I’ve done the utility thing, and my macbook air has no issues at all. But it’s not opening and stuck on an apple logo which the installation shows no progress at all! It has been a week! This is why I do not want to update because of these effin update issues. My son just push me to update. My laptop used to be super smooth and i never had a problem until this. I also have about 200gb available so space is not a problem!!!! I don’t want to keep on going to safe recovery just to use my laptop.

Safe recovery is already on a big sur. However i do not want to keep on going to safe recovery. I want to just turn it on and start using

Waiting for M1X.

Touch screen will come in Sept 2021.

I've never used the desktop for icons lol, it got so messy with screenshots I hid everything.

Haven't used a native email client since forever lol (Literally).

You mean the old startup tune? Sounds like the same one.

My last time machine update: 445 days ago lol.

Big Sir... lol. I heard a lot of issues on MacBook Pro Early 2015 model. Slow performance etc on MacRumourForums

I'm watching this on my Samsung.

Broke: Stay on Mojave to run 32-bit apps
Woke: Install Windows using Boot Camp to run 32-bit apps

My macbook pro 15 inch 2015. Should i upgrade Big sur or Mojave 10.14.6?

Used Big Sure for like 2minutes before switching back to Catalina, HORRIBLE update.

Have you had issues with apple mail syncing with Big Sur?

Hey Brian could you ask your sponsor to create a "Clean My eX Mac" lol

I have a big problem after update to big sur. wrong move

it takes 250GB I need to free up more space. I want to switch back to windows.

This is probably the smoothest upgrade I’ve ever done. I migrated from macOS Catalina to Big Sur , but I waited over ½ years before upgrading :)

I may wait a few months after macOS Monterey comes out before upgrading to that version.

Loving your vids Brian! LOL. Puts a smile on my face haha. :D

Safari slow load on Big sur. Also facebook eat alot memory when using Safari

The only thing the start sound is good for is letting everyone know you're late to work.

Im not sold...I need my Mojave as I can run CS6 (free) and Word (free)....screw this update

Apple should let people choose icon packs or system themes, like between the old Catalina theme and the new theme.

can anyone tell me what processor it is? how does it rank under passmark cpu? was very disappointed it was no where on the website! I have a windows pc and was considering apple imac because windows 10 is broken and the fixes only render os blue screen of death. my problem with mac is the specs in 2012 when i bought my last pc, and lap top in 2016 the processor on mac sucked and was almost double the speed less than mine! Also beef with the ssd or external drives supporting a minuscule amount of drive space. I dont know what graphics card this thing has, because none of my questions can be googled three big red flags. Maybe I should just do linux it seems most stable. I read 5 crashes in current imac version. Will you cover any of this or can you answer my questions? I'd be surprised. You are speaking of bells and whistles none about how fast stuff is??

Somebody lied to Apple that people want iOS on their Mac.

Wtf is Big Sur?

Big Sur DESTROYED my MacBook Pro 2019, which by the way, was running flawlessly before the update. I’m also noticing my iPad pros are buggy with the new 14.5.1 updates… wish I hadn’t updated. Apple makes me kind of sick.

new on mac, new subscriber here. ✌️

"Because you don't want to experience joy!" 😂😂😂😂😂

You didn't discuss security issues. Are there any? It seems each upgrade tightens controls, puts you in a straitjacket! I always program my laptop so I do NOT have to sign in...Can I still do that?

How about BigSur compatibility with iMovie??? You did not say anything!! ?????

I tried catalina and big sur.... big sure is for my taste to punchy and also catalina seemed a touch faster. I prefer catalina for now

Catalina runs noticeable faster on my Hackintosh

Hi. I have MacBook Pro 16” 2020 intel core i9. I still using macOS Catalina 10.15.7. Because i use Adobe programs such as Pr pro, Ps ID and Ai etc. The question is that , I am not sure should I upgrade to Big Sur or not? Does all Adobe creative cloud programs will work smoothly in Big Sur?

With so many bad reviews on Big Sur I will stay on High Sierra.

i have early 2015 w catalina 2.7 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ----- should i do the upgrade? hahahaha

You want to touch your screen? Man you have a fetish of touching! :)
Only a pervert mind would like to put his own sweat and fingerprints, especially on 27" 5k display!...
This is madness, use a tablet bro!!

DONOT DOWNLOAD BIG SUR if you are a professional photographer. You will be sorry!!!! Cant shoot teathered if you are a Fuji user and as always, its a pain in the ass and full of headaches unless you just want to play on your computer..

Big surr is incredibly bad. I never thought a software update could make a laptop so severely laggy, stuttery, and poor performance. Shouldn't be compatible with older MacBooks like mine

GG xD
