Microsoft wants Mac users to ditch Evernote, so it’s bringing its Evernote-to-OneNote migration tool over to Apple’s platform. This means our guide to migrating from Evernote to OneNote will now work on the Mac.
Go ahead and download the importer now if you’ve been thinking of trying out OneNote. It’s a quick way of getting all the content you’ve built up over the years over to a new platform, though in our experience you’ll need to do a little bit of sorting when everything is done importing.
Evernote, the company, has been in trouble lately. Thougu its product is well liked, especially among Mac users, only a small minority pay for the premium service. In response to this, Evernote has been stripping features from free users, in the hope of nudging them toward paying. Free users can, as of this summer, only sync between two devices, and can only sync 60 megabytes of data each month.
Microsoft’s response: make OneNote more generous, and get Evernote free users to “upgrade” to their service instead. In the past few years OneNote, previously available only as part of Office, became free. Then came free versions for iOS and Android, and even the long-neglected Mac.
The official migration tool is an obvious next step, and a Mac release just a few months after an Evernote price hike is probably not a coincidence. OneNote is free with all features, the only restriction is storage. OneNote takes up space on OneDrive, so once you fill up your 5 gigabytes of free space Microsoft will nudge you toward paying for more storage space.
The Mac importer isn’t portable, meaning you’ll have to install it using a PKG file. The importer can only import notes from the direct-download version of Evernote, meaning if you originally installed Evernote using the Mac App Store you’ll need to download this version and log into Evernote before the import tool can work its magic.
Still, it’s quick to run and easy to use. So if you’ve been thinking of ditching Evernote, now’s your chance.
The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
