Mavericks is now available for download.

LOL, they aren't lower spec. Just because numbers are smaller it doesn't make them lower spec.
You are right in saying that the Nvdia setup has the edge, but the Iris pro's trade off's make for a better general use machine.

I think I will stick with what I got

Chrome has gone slower since the update. That said my HDD is on its arse so I think is time to upgrade to ssd shortly.

I've noticed this too, hopefully Google bring out an update to run perfectly with the new OS.

Not sure why people use Chrome on OSX. Safari is far quicker and iCloud options are so handy. I'm always using iCloud tabs on my devices.

I roll with Firefox personally, scroll bar seems to disappear now annoyingly. Also, hitting the power button sends my MBP to sleep instead of giving me power down options, I'll see if I can change the settings later.

Because I like Chrome? It's s**t free. I don't need fancy pants icloud stuff, or rss b****cks, I just like a browser with a few bookmarks. it's normally far faster.

Ganza, mine's doing that too, guess it's just settings, shouldn't take a second to sort I hope.

I use chrome because I can link it to my Nexus and work PC.

I prefer parallels for some reason. I've owned various releases of both and parallels is the only one that's up to date on my machine now (although I do have up to date versions of VMware on machines at work - but that's just historical as they used that).

Parallels 9 is even faster. I'd deff recommend it.

I use chrome because apple won't use favicons.

I meant parallels 9! Lost track of versions!

Couldn't find a way of changing it last night :/ any luck your end Rob?

Press ctrl+power, or hold the power button.

 

[Eliganza]

Brilliant, cheers mate.

Since doing the update Excel for mac is really slow and lags loads, almost unusable.

 

[Gouldy]

Am I the only person that's not noticed much difference?

Me too and the whole of the Apple community.

I guess thats why it was free this time.

Has the swipe to go back a page feature disappeared, or is it just me?

[Rob]

You just need to change the settings, it's the one for PDFs or books you want I think.

I like it

It seems a little buggy in places, but that's to be expected with a new release. I also haven't really noticed much difference in terms of functionality, but I'm not really a power user.

Finder tabs are cool, but I use Moom to control and position multiple Finder windows anyway. I thought tabs would be brilliant, but as it turns out I still prefer using Moom to position two or more windows.

I like the new wallpapers

Oh and Maps is pretty smart on a 55" TV.

I moved from lion so it's a bigger change for me.

 

[Eliganza]

The log in screen looks nicer. That's the only difference I've noticed. Oh, and finder tabs, semi-useful but I think I'll just end up using new windows instead tbh.

 

[AK]

Is this some new feature?



Also, what program can I use to unzip a .zip file?

I've used this for a good while now, does the job.

 

[Rob]

May be a daft question, but I'm lazy.

I used to have a bar at the bottom, that'd give me the current stats of the drive my finder window was in.

For example it'd say 249.98 GB 78GB free when just browsing my own HD, but then if I plugged in a USB stick it'd say 8GB 6.5GB free. Where's that gone.

[Ben]

In Finder go to View, Show Status Bar.

EDIT: Gavin beat me to it.

 

[Rob]

Knew it'd be summat like that. Thanks chaps.

Has anyone else had keychain problems?.
