Marcus Joseph Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Just upgraded, loving it, beautifully designed and so many useful features. Got the trackpad finally working away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markshaw Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Got my free upgrade last week. Working great, just getting used to the reversed scrolling. No problems as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Joseph Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Yeah I switched the reverse scrolling around in the system preferences mouse menu, took off natural scrolling, it only feels natural if you're always on the trackpad. Loving some of the other trackpad features though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markshaw Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Luckily I had only gotten my MBP a couple of weeks previously so there wasn't too much of a problem transitioning to LION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to get 8-10 hours, I barely get 6 hours now, nearer to 5 actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah I use an iMac, but I'm thinking of getting a macbook later on, maybe I'll wait til they sort out that power issue and the price goes down. It sounds understandable though, it seems that Lion uses more power. It could also be that Lion is native 64 bit, the old OS was likely booting into 32.

Markshaw Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I contacted Apple last week because I had an issue with my MBP. The did a reset and now my battery is back up. Not quite as high as it was with Snow Leopard but better than it was when I first got Lion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Genovese Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Interesting about the power use increasing...I'm glad I read that before I purchased it for my MBP. How useful/restrictive is Lion on an editing station? I use an iMac with FCP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How useful/restrictive is Lion on an editing station? I use an iMac with FCP. FCP X? It seems better in my opinion cause it automatically loads into 64 bit, I don't even think there is a 32 bit Lion. But I'm really enjoying FCP X cause I can render out timelapses in 4K and it seems pretty fluid to me. A lot of people have whined about it but I don't mind it. I don't think there'd be much difference with 7 cause it's only 32 bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
