Apple® is set to release the latest operating system for Mac computers, Mac OS 10.7 or Lion, with a myriad of new and improved features. This highly anticipated release promises to provide Mac users with a more enjoyable and efficient experience. Some of the biggest changes and additions to Lion are the Auto Save feature, which automatically saves your work, and the new Mission Control feature, which combines the Exposé, Dashboard, and Spaces functions into one convenient view. Additionally, Lion comes with additional built-in applications such as the Mac App Store, FaceTime, AirDrop, and Photo Booth. With these improvements and more, Mac OS 10.7 or Lion is sure to revolutionize the way users interact with their Mac computers.
Mac OS X Lion, released in 2011, was an impressive update to Apple’s operating system, offering 4GB of OS updates for a mere USD 30 on the App Store. Not all Macs could install Lion, however, as it required an Intel dual or quad-core processor such as Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon. This was a departure from the PowerPC architecture that Apple had abandoned in the early 2000s in favor of Intel.
So why did Mac users want to upgrade to Lion? Besides being able to use the iPad-like interface on their Macs, Lion was also able to add a lot of new features that made the user experience better.
Fullscreen
The marriage of iOS and Mac OS has several features, one of which is the full-screen display. This feature was first introduced in Snow Leopard and has been improved over the years. While it allows for a great viewing experience, it does come with its drawbacks. For example, when an app fills the entire screen, it can block the windows of other apps beneath it. To bring up the windows of these other apps, the user has to press the CMD + Tab button or click the icon in the dock. Despite this inconvenience, the full-screen display remains a popular feature for Mac OS users. It allows them to take full advantage of their device’s display and provides a more immersive experience.
Apple has said that they will have a better full-screen display with one click and that users will be able to open applications in full-screen mode without problems. Users will be able to easily transition between full-screen and desktop applications with a simple swipe of the mouse. This feature will be especially beneficial for iLife and iCall, iPhoto, Preview, and Mail applications, which have a variety of full-screen viewing options. Even third-party developers will benefit from this new feature, as it requires minimal effort to take advantage of the full-screen display. This latest improvement from Apple promises to make the user experience more convenient and enjoyable.
The email application on OS X Lion has undergone a considerable makeover. Now, users can take advantage of a three-column display and a full-screen layout that makes it easy to navigate and locate emails. Additionally, a quick search feature makes it a breeze to find emails quickly. Most importantly, the new feature supports a rich text format that includes bold, italic, and more. This new feature ensures that emails look more professional and that users can effectively communicate with their contacts in a highly presentable manner. The new email application on OS X Lion is a welcome addition to the OS.
Mac App Store
The Mac App Store is a great way to find and download applications for your Mac device. Similar to the App Store on the iPad, the Mac App Store allows users to browse through thousands of free and paid applications. You can easily search for the app you need and download it directly to your device. The Mac App Store also provides convenience by keeping track of all the apps you have downloaded and notifying you when an update is available. This ensures that you have the latest version of the application and can enjoy the features and fixes it offers. Furthermore, you can easily uninstall the apps you no longer need directly from the store. This makes it easier to keep your Mac device organized and clutter-free.
