    I’ve just downgraded my Mac mini, MacBook Air both from Catalina to Mojave (10.15 -> 10.14) for problems with music and tv shows. With TV you cannot go to the iTunes Store and just browse it like you could before. I can’t even check my purchases on TV?! As for music searching in a list is not possible at all. This is a big problem as I have over 12,000 songs so I hope these will be corrected. I will be checking in a Apple store and test in theirs than wasting my time doing it on my computer

    best to wait until the full version comes out later in the year

    All I see is Apple locking macOS down even more. (Apple users, please don’t hate on me)

    Good, straight to the point presentation. No annoying jokes or excessive ‘personality’. Good job.

    Horrible audio quality

  11. SecureMind

    July 11, 2020 at 10:04 pm

    Are you sure this is your first video? You sure know what you’re talking about!????

    I upgraded to Catalina a few weeks ago and it’s made my iMac very hot when just doing basic tasks. Is there a way to fix that?

    • Jawaads MoM

      July 11, 2020 at 10:16 pm

      it did the same to my computer. you might have to wipe it clean and go back to mojave. It isn’t the best

    • KELEX

      July 12, 2020 at 12:12 am

      Jawaads MoM Oh wow! That sucks. Do you think it’s just a Catalina OS issue and going forward to Big Sur would fix it? Or going back is the only way?

  13. RAJohnson713

    July 11, 2020 at 10:12 pm

    Good but fix the audio

  14. Mahesh

    July 11, 2020 at 10:21 pm

    Why does the audio feel like she spoke from a bathroom !?

  15. zepcrazyfre

    I will not download the Beta. I’ll just wait…

    Great job.

  17. JB 93

    July 11, 2020 at 11:02 pm

    Upgrading to Big Sur because you want new maps and a safari interface is dumb. Should just be app specific updates in that case

  18. Johnny Rodriguez

    July 11, 2020 at 11:18 pm

    Awesome video update on the beta. I was actually looking for a video on this and your video popped up. Also great job for your first video! keep up the good work!

  19. Shamsulazhar

    July 11, 2020 at 11:23 pm

    The audio is a bit echoey, otherwise a good report.

  20. Vedraj r.m

    July 12, 2020 at 12:00 am

    The audio !!!

  21. BISHOP JRJ

    Me and my old age, at first glance I thought those books were records/albums from way back in the day lol

    • J H

      they are

    All these features have been in Android and in Windows for years. So pointless

  23. CommanderRobe3t

    July 12, 2020 at 1:00 am

    To bad CNET doesn’t use professional mic’s…

  24. cmair77

    July 12, 2020 at 1:02 am

    Love how she’s explaining what widgets are ????

    • michael flawn

      July 12, 2020 at 9:30 pm

      I guess for Apple users, it’s a new thing ????????????

  25. Aaron Jhinkoo

    You did an amazing job

  26. Thi Henry

    Big Sur widget are so pointless.

  27. typikaljesus

    July 12, 2020 at 1:43 am

    Good job, Alison ????

  28. J H

    July 12, 2020 at 2:15 am

    If you want CNET to stand out amongst (or along side) all the youtubers with professional review videos, you need to use a better mic. You would think a big tech review brand like CNET would know that.

    Also, if you’re going to discuss one of the biggest changes (widgets), why wouldn’t you show how it’s actually used or displayed instead of explaining what they are and showing their setup?

  29. Gary Nagle

    July 12, 2020 at 2:30 am

    Great first vid,. You do have an a bit of an echo. Can’t wait for Big Sur to be released

  30. UserInterface00

    July 12, 2020 at 2:30 am

    Great first video and much better than anything I can do. Only critique is the audio. Other than that, fantastic job!! Look forward to more in the future.

  31. Michael Hajjar

    July 12, 2020 at 2:48 am

    You did great!!!!

  33. Gabriel GI

    You are doing just fine! I love your calm, clear way of doing it.

  34. Ervin Gyaraki jr

    July 12, 2020 at 6:29 am

    Will the new Safari be available on Catalina?

  35. Yann Coollapoub

    July 12, 2020 at 6:49 am

    Sounds (not) Good 😉

  36. Jafar Irshaidat

    July 12, 2020 at 11:00 am

    Great work, and that turntable setup looks awesome! Please keep making videos.

  37. John Döpp

    July 12, 2020 at 11:57 am

    unwatchable because of the sound.

    • Aaron Madulara

      July 12, 2020 at 6:09 pm

      It wasn’t the best sound quality and db but to label it unwatchable…

  38. Eduard Constantinescu

    July 12, 2020 at 12:31 pm

    You are extremely cute, love to see you in other videos! ! !

  39. Shourya Chourey

    July 12, 2020 at 12:49 pm

    Poor quality, bye! You are a group, live upto the standards of mkbhd, an individual who came on top, despite and inspite you big groups.

    However, this girl did a good job.

    That’s some vinyl collection back there… do hope you have a better listening position to enjoy that ????Great video… yea something strange about that audio… voice was clear tho! Thanks CNET

  42. Gregory Pierce

    July 12, 2020 at 5:37 pm

    You need a better microphone setup. Try to find a Yeti or similar or just move your microphone into frame so you reduce the echo. We won’t mind, we are used to seeing microphones

  43. Stephen

    July 12, 2020 at 10:25 pm

    Great video!

  44. cdbaz

    July 13, 2020 at 1:29 am

  47. Jafu

    July 13, 2020 at 10:49 am

    The W-I-D-E tabs feature needs to be made optional. Deal breaker for me.

  48. ThirtyPlusGAMER

    July 13, 2020 at 1:13 pm

    crappy mic mam!

  49. Aaron Lee

    July 13, 2020 at 1:39 pm

    Please get a MIC…!

  50. Darrel Daley

    July 13, 2020 at 2:15 pm

    CNET, buy these people some decent Mics!

  51. m7rouqi

    July 13, 2020 at 2:43 pm

    Sound quality is very poor for a tech journalist.

  52. Krisztián Kőrösi

    July 13, 2020 at 5:05 pm

    You did great with the video, the new features though less great.

  53. Max Nguyen

    July 13, 2020 at 8:03 pm

    How does a senior editor from Cnet have such crap sound?

  54. vishal loke

    July 13, 2020 at 8:04 pm

    You did superb. Keep up the good work.

  55. Video Biker

    July 13, 2020 at 11:04 pm

    I think you did a very good job for your first presentation on CNET. I also want to complement you on your stereo system and records. It brought back memories
