My first Mac OS X

Published on 06/27/12 at 12:55

Apple's Mac OS X Lion is their newest intel-based operating system, and I currently use it on my MacBook Pro (which I am using to write up this review!). It is the eighth and current major release of Mac OS X, and it is used on both desktops and laptops. Officially, it is version 10.7 of the main operating system line, and some of the new features include AirDrop, FaceTime, Launchpad, Mission Control, and much more. The layout and features mimic the popular mobile operating systems from their successful line of iPhones and iPads, with the inclusion of things such as the app store.

The layout and features mimic the popular mobile operating systems from their successful line of iPhones and iPads, with the inclusion of things such as the app store. It may seem a little odd having an app store on a computer (where you can simply download applications from any source), but the app store provides a nice hub for finding great software, and installing that software seamlessly and quickly.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I've always been a bit afraid of Apple computers, and their operating systems, OS X or otherwise, even though I've been using iPod's, iPhone's, iTunes, and other Apple software/hardware for years. But I knew it was somewhat necessary to make the jump to Mac's in order to do live synth sounds for my band, so I took the plunge and spend 1 grand on a refurbished Mac OS Lion system. And overall, the operating system works even better than I expected. The response and control of the operating system by the touchpad is seamless, and it really shows how combining hardware and software under the same name umbrella (of Apple) can be extremely powerful. I love the multi-touch, the gestures, and the integrated right-click, and how all of them work wonderfully in the software operating system.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, Apple still makes some of the best computing hardware and software that is more compatible with professional audio, and certainly Mac OS X Lion follows that same trend. It is integrated so well with the hardware, which is crucial for low latency applications, such as audio.

Being accustomed to the MAC for years, and leaving still zero (no update, full installation), installation is very easy, no need for documentation.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

With a Mac Pro, the new OS runs smoothly and does not suffer any slowdown (although starting to get light when bcp software)

OVERALL OPINION

I Lion 6 months, I waited a while for all my gear (sound card, plugins) is supported by the lion and I'm not lying in wait to have the last word for everything. The only reason the move to Leo is the passage that I wanted to icloud absolutely enjoy.

VERY DISAPPOINTED BY MAC OS LION

Reviews of Mac Os X Leo / VERY DISAPPOINTED / Faithful and exclusive user of Macintosh computers for many years, yet I just ordered a new MacBook Pro (and comes with OS X Lion). I have not found it necessary to examine Deep in the system and note the deficiencies and défections.Il is indeed easy to see at first glance than was synonymous with design, elegance and value safe (Thanks for the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air ) is no longer with this interface and so little ridiculous pratique.Elle is indeed more gadget and bad taste than anything chose.Depuis the departure of Steve Jobs, the new leaders seem to want and ask colorful stickers on their Rolls, at the risk of permanently flee their...…

A little long but (1h 1h30) no problem!

Simple configuration and there is every mouse movement that is changing.

By using the function Airdrop (works with wi-fi) the transfer of music (40 GB forty minutes) is a simple 1 minute 1GB very fast! For application, once transferred there does not start that I know not why ...

The manual I have not watch but I think so.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB DDR3 1067 MHz

He roared great!

Pti concern during the transfer to start any application on the other mac
