Hello everyone!
Recently I have a 2021 MBP 14" base model. Maybe some of you know how I ended up having this computer after some issues with an Apple Store, but it was a long story (check my profile to see if interested ☺️).
Before that, I have been using a Early 2015 13" MBP base-model. It served me very well. However I notice that there are lots of news and new technologies with these new MBPs and new MacOS versions.
Hence I have some questions to make sure I am using everything correct, not damaging something.
Thanks in advance! ?

Hence I have some questions to make sure I am using everything correct, not damaging something.
- The display of these 2021 MBPs are kind of special, I guess, it is called Liquid Retina etc.
Usually I am using it at almost full brightness, maybe 2 bar less, is it okay to use this display like this? Does this brightness level make any damage to it? I am a bit worried because of the LED technology. - I am right now using Monterey 12.1, and ProMotion technology is activated. However it usually does not feel like 120Hz, especially in the Safari while scrolling. Is it normal or am I paranoid? ?
- Is there anything more, which can be a hint or an advise, that I should avoid or should do in terms of a better and long-term healthy usage? This is my first "Apple Silicon" processored MacBook, hence I would like to know if there exists anything I should know about it.
- Is there any special and beneficial application that you say "it is a MUST to have"? It might be in terms productivity, battery management, general settings etc.
- Is there also any accessories that you advise me to use? (Right now I purchased a case cover sticker, a plastic case cover, a screen protector film, a keyboard cover.)
Thanks in advance! ?
