Cool Things to do with Macbook Pro
1. Use your Macbook Pro as a TV
Did you know that it’s possible to connect your Mac with a TV? And not just any TV, but your big screen HDTV. This is great because most televisions have a lot of cool apps built in and you can browse the web.
2. Connect to an external monitor for more screen space
Seriously, the screen on your MacBook is so small! Instead of squinting and constantly adjusting your settings for comfortable reading, why not connect it to an external monitor?
You’ll be able to open up multiple windows at once, and it feels more like you’re on a desktop.
If you want to take your Macbook experience to the next level, I suggest using an external monitor. Not only will it give you more screen space, but also makes for a great companion when working on documents or having a video chat with friends!
3. Use the Touch Bar to control music playback and volume on iTunes or Spotify
When listening to music on your Mac, the Touch Bar is a cool way of controlling the playback and the volume of the music.
It also conveniently displays album artwork in full HD. And if you’re feeling really fancy, go ahead and purchase an external USB keyboard with a touchpad for even more control!
4. Take advantage of the Retina display
The retina display is a huge plus for the Macbook Pro. It’s so crisp and clear that you can’t help but be impressed always.
There are many cool things you can do with a retina display to improve your work and play. For example, the screen has been designed for multiple things. Let’s take a look.
The screen is designed for multitasking. It’s perfect if you’re working on two documents at the same time and would like to keep them open.
5. Connect your phone, tablet, or another device via USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 ports
This is also a huge plus for the Macbook Pro. It’s so easy to just plug in your phone and start transferring data, especially when you do not want to wait for transfers or sync to complete.

I will end this article by saying that when you buy a new Macbook pro, make sure to try them all out so that you never miss out on any of them.
