My must-have applications for the new MacBook Pro

I just got a new MacBook Pro and it is the best machine I have ever used. So much have been discussed how good the new MacBook Pro is so I am not going to write about it. I would rather want to write about the applications I am using on this new MacBook Pro. I am coming from Windows background and it was a journey for me to find a replacement of what I had in the Windows environment. Following list is targeted to similar people who are a beginner in MacBook environment.

• Google Chrome Browser
• Office 2016 for Mac
• Slack and Skype
• Cloud Storages such as Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive
• Microsoft Desktop to connect to my PC based devices
• I also use Skype for Business
• Evernote, I am always confused between Evernote and OneNote but could not decide which one to use. I am using Evernote for one simple reason, it is simpler than OneNote. Also, my office’s group policies do not allow syncing to a personal account.
• DaisyDisk, I have been using Spacemonger on Windows PC for years. All my machines have a copy of the Spacemonger. I was trying to find an alternative for the Mac and came across DaisyDisk. This costs $10 but it worth each penny. Highly recommended.
