What is Mavericks?
Mavericks : This name is not only a world-famous surfer’s paradise in California, but also for the new Apple operating system Mac OS X 10.9. With the departure of big cats such as Cheetah, Leopard, Lion, Puma and Tiger but there are fewer changes to the house, as initially suspected. Many new features, see more behind the scenes .
The new operating system.
Mac OS X 10.9 was first presented at the worldwide developer’s conference. Because Apple ran out of cats at the successor of Mountain Lion, has been chosen for famous places in California. The first version of this series is called Mavericks and is now available on the App Store. And indeed free. Retroactively, as an upgrade for systems from Snow Leopard, you get a system that has been redesigned especially under the hood. Apple promises better battery life, increased productivity by more features and many small technologies to facilitate the daily work. Shortly after the installation stands out: What has changed little?
Real innovations.
Battery life is really a matter of proper application. Confining active programs to a minimum, adjust the brightness and avoid processor load, we actually benefited from OS X Mavericks. Especially for users of MacBooks the upgrade is worth so. But also in terms of user interface, there are always small changes that are really handy. Tabs in Finder, better multi-monitor support and tags folders are only some of the functions actually overdue.
First impression.
Mac OS X 10.9 is a consistent product maintenance. But really new way’s Apple does not go despite the new naming scheme. The system feels exactly like its predecessor and offers only a few places real innovations. Because Apple but try to generate as many Mavericks users as possible and offer the operating system as a free upgrade, the change makes sense. Who is already using third-party apps for the described functions, has Mavericks but initially, no great advantage.
