Mac Users, Snow Leopard or Lion?

[oh you mad]

Should I upgrade to Lion? Has anyone upgraded to Lion and regretted it?

Pros cons?

 

[justonmars]

Stick with Snow Leopard. I can't run any Adobe Programs on Lion!

 

[DPancakes]

I think I like SL a tad bit better...

 

[aepps20]

I regret upgrading to Lion.

 

[thenewjs23]

Dont know the difference. Went straight to Lion when I adopted my Mac.

I regret Lion. Terrible Battery, Wi-Fi issues, and it has affected my battery health. Stay with Snow Leopard

 

[oh you mad]

Thanks Fellas. Keeping SL

[antidope]

I cant really tell much difference between them

LOVING Lion on my new iMac, but sticking with SL on my Macbook

 

[biggie62]

I have lion, but I actually liked Leopard over SL personally. But that's just me.

Would those happen to be licensed Adobe programs?

This.

There are Frequent wifi issues,

However this had made me appreciate my mac so much more.

All these finger swipes make me feel like the coolest kid ever.

Running everything at Full screen is nice but a lot of people are reporting battery issues. I went form a '06 macbook to a '11 pro and Im getting 5-6 hours of straight use so to me thats an improvement over what I had. I had Lion since it came out and it's been a good upgrade for me.

Get the newer one. Some things might not work, but then they'll be many new features and touches. These are computers just roll with it and figure it out.

Yeah, that no adobe prog is a deal breaker.

lion is a resource hog, it all depends how fast is your mac
8gb of ram is recommended

I just upgraded to SL last month after using Leopard for three years. Have zero plans of upgrading to Lion.

I could barely run ##$! on lion til i upgraded to 8gb ram....my battery needs to be replaced now...

 

[breezylocks]

real life...

how do you know what you have?

 

[01heavencent]

Click the apple in the upper left hand corner, from there click "about this mac" followed by "more."

 

[iye2]

^click the apple on the top left bar and it'll tell you what version os you have.

also it should be mentioned, if you're a student and your school usues blackboard, its not compatible with lion
there is a work around in safari though, just have to change user agent to ie or ff.

I like lion, but it seems a bit heavy. apps seem to lag but then again I'm running with a core 2 duo and 4gb or ram

all my adobe programs work, illustrator, ps, dreamweaver..

 

[oidreez]

I copped a late 2008 mac pro off ebay with lion installed. The keyboard won't light up

 

[a55a5in11]

you guys who can't run adobe programs must have bootleg programs are no clue what your talking about. i have no problem running my photoshop on my macbook with lion

 

[crazy dav0]

i tried lion ... wasn't impressed ... didn't like it ... keeping snow
