For All Macs—No Add-Ons Required!

All this book requires is a Mac computer running OS X. Nothing else. You might own a MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac Mini, or Mac Pro. It doesn’t matter, although a handful of tips talk about getting the most from portable Macs.

No tip requires you to buy more software. All the tips enhance, harness, or tweak built-in functionality. A small fraction of the tips discuss downloading some add-in software to add vital functionality that’s missing from OS X, but the software mentioned is nearly always free of charge.
