I bought a new iMac Retina<\/a> 2 weeks ago in Paris (Standard configuration)<\/p>\n

I already had an iMac for a few years but the screen exploded when a rocket exploded above my home last summer in Israel. I repaired it but it wasn’t enough. The iMac is still making a very loud noise.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t working a lot from my iMac but mostly from a Macbook Air 11″. Really Love this one. A must have for all people working from different places but needed to work again on a big screen for a lot of reasons.<\/p>\n

After 2 weeks of usage, I’m really impressed by the iMac Retina. The screen resolution is so high (5120 x 2880) that I’m really able to put many different things on the screen.<\/p>\n

Browser on the left<\/strong>
\nMail Client (Apple Mail), Slack or Skype: Center-Right<\/strong>
\nClear (Task List) and Hangouts (rarely open): Right<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Imac<\/a>
\n<\/a>With that kind of resolution, I’m also using wonderful 5K wallpapers. MacOSX standard wallpapers which are awesome and other fabulous 5K wallpapers that I found here
\n<\/a>I configured MacOSX to change my wallpaper every 5 minutes. Wonderful.<\/p>\n

I installed\/bought a few other very useful tools<\/p>\n

BetterSnapTools<\/a> enables me to create zones on my Screen. (Easier if you want to drag a window from a Zone to another. The window resizing automatically)<\/p>\n

Moom<\/a> enabling to move and resize windows easily<\/p>\n

PopClip<\/a> to have access to a list of functions near your mouse pointer by just selecting texts (A lot of extensions<\/a> are available)<\/p>\n

TextExpander<\/a>, an awesome Mac Typing Shortcuts utility that I’m using on all my Macs (synchronized through Dropbox)<\/p>\n

AlfredApp<\/a>: The best launcher on Mac<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
