  • Already a significant release for Apple (one million downloads in the first 24 hours); Lion is a stunning upgrade to an already solid, fast and exceedingly stable operating system. Over 250 new features have been introduced and while many of these are ...

  • Great price
  • Many features are different to Snow Leopard
  • In the past, Apple has charged $129 for upgrades with far fewer improvements than this, and that price upgraded just a single system. At $30 for all the Macs in your world, the only reason not to upgrade to Lion is because you rely on old PowerPC-based ap...

  • 31.99
  • After a long period of relative stability on the Mac, Lion is a shock to the system. It’s a radical revision, motivated in part by the vast influx of new Mac users coming to the platform from iOS, that makes the Mac a friendlier computer. Veteran Mac u...

  • Easy installation process; Finally Auto Save is implemented; Slick Mission Control.
  • New features aren't really innovative; Front Row removed; Transition effects aren't very smooth; Safari needs to be fixed.

  • Abstract:  Mac OS X Lion is heavily indebted to its iPhone and iPad counterpart, but can its bite match its roar?Right from the start, it's clear Mac OS X Lion is more akin to a smartphone experience than a computer one. You download the software from the Mac App St...

  • Excellent Price, Auto Save, Versions, and Resume help in saving time, Mission Control handles window clutter with ease, The new search mechanism is very good, Mail’s upgrade is very intuitive and easy to use
  • Launchpad owes a bit too much to the iOS, Apple’s reliance on a downloaded installer app causes needless complications
  • An in-depth look at Apple's new Lion OS X 10.7 that roars to life with new features: Gestures, Mission Control, and Launchpad to name a few. ...

  • Easy to install; Mission Control and Launchpad makes navigation easy; many new handy features like Auto Save, Resume and full-screen mode; affordable.
  • Fullscreen mode can only handle a single monitor; AirDrop works only with other Macs ­running Lion; AutoSave supports limited number of apps.
  • Lion, the eight version of the Mac OS X, is an excellent upgrade that may just change the way you use your Mac. It also incorporates some iOS-like features such as Launchpad and ­gesture driven controls which make it easier to interact with the Mac. A...
