I Tried Microsoft Copilot’s Mac App, and You Probably Shouldn’t

There’s a lot of talk online these days about hiding Copilot in Windows and tools that can remove it entirely. There’s a reason for that: Some people are annoyed with AI and would prefer not to deal with it.

Despite this trend, Microsoft recently launched Copilot for Mac, for some reason. While Windows users are looking to remove Microsoft’s AI tool from their machines, Mac users are invited to actively install it on theirs. So, in the interest of fairness, I am going to take the exact opposite approach to hiding Copilot in Windows: setting up Copilot on your Mac. The thing is, unless you really love Copilot, you probably shouldn’t use this app.

Copilot for Mac is about what you’d expect

Copilot for Mac is basically the web version of Copilot in a dedicated Mac window. You can sign into your Microsoft account and start talking with the virtual assistant right away. There are a few Mac-specific features here: The first is a system-wide keyboard shortcut, Option-Space, for quickly sending a message to Copilot in a little pop-up overlay. (You can change the keyboard shortcut if you want.) This is not unlike how ChatGPT’s launcher works on its desktop app.

There’s also a menu bar icon you can click to bring up this same pop-up. The application respects your Mac’s Appearance setting, meaning if you switch to Dark Mode so will Copilot.

And that’s honestly most of the Mac integration features offered. Unlike ChatGPT’s Mac app, there’s no screenshot button, which is a bit of a disappointment—that feature lets you ask ChatGPT about things currently on your screen. With Copilot, you’ll have to take the screenshot and upload it yourself. If you don’t care about this keyboard shortcut you could just as easily use the web version of Copilot and not notice the difference.

You can use Copilot to do pretty much all of the usual stuff you associate with other large language model chatbots, like ChatGPT or Claude—everything from coding, to research, to cheating on homework. The free version of Copilot, notably, has access to current information from the web, meaning you can ask it about current events and sports. But there aren’t a lot of Mac-specific reasons to install the app.

For the sake of comparison, here is the Mac version (spouting widely-reported misinformation about the NHL trade deadline):

And here’s the Windows version (which seems to have decent taste in Game Boy Advance games):

Yeah, they’re the same. If you like Copilot on Windows, you’ll like it on Mac. If you haven’t tried Copilot, and are curious, maybe try the web version first. It’s essentially the same, and won’t take up any space on your hard drive.

This Anker Projector Is $120 Off Right Now

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

It’s a good time to shop for portable projectors, with the Nebula Capsule 3 GTV projector down to its lowest price and now the more powerful Anker Nebula Mars 3 Air going for $419.99 (originally $599.99), also its lowest price, according to price-tracking tools. Both of these projectors are portable, but the Nebula Mars 3 Air is more suitable for outdoor use.

The Nebula Mars 3 Air came out last August to an “average” review from PCMag due to its auto-focus feature (keystone) being finicky and the image being darker when watching 1080p SDR input content. However, it’s still a great portable projector for the right person.

This projector has 1080p resolution and supports 4K HDR input, and like the Nebula Capsule 3, it has a built-in Google TV with the Netflix app, which not a lot of other portable projectors offer. Google TV is also my favorite smart TV OS for projectors since you can cast your smartphone using the Chromecast feature.

Since you’ll likely be using it outdoors, brightness is important because you can only control the light outdoors to a certain degree. The 400 ANSI lumens doubles the brightness of what the Nebula Capsule 3 offers. The screen size ranges from 30 inches up to 150 inches. If you plug it in with the AC power, you get a boost in brightness, which is always appreciated. Otherwise, you can expect a battery life of 2.5 hours in Eco mode and 1 hour at full power. This projector also doubles as a Bluetooth speaker and lasts 8 hours when just playing music.

If you’re looking for a portable projector that you can easily carry around the home or want to use it outdoors, consider the Nebula Mars 3 Air. At its current price, it’s a good bang for your buck and better than the Nebula Capsule 3 if you plan to use it outdoors.
