I was a Windows user and I'd like to share with you my Macbook experiences.
I've just got a wonderful present: a Macbook pro Early 2008 A1260.
I must say that I am really happy with it and at the same time nostalgic of my old IBM T42 which has accompanied me so faithfully all these years.

Upgrading OS to Mavericks
As you can see in this video the performance is not good:
So I think that after upgrading the MacBook to SSD drive I'm going to downgrade software back to Snow Leopard.
Quite great Windows user Macbook switcher experiences!
How did you manage to install Mavericks onto Macbook early 2008? I'm intrigued. Could you explain?
ReplyDeleteHi Juan,
ReplyDeleteI just installed Snow Leopard first and then updated to the free Maverics OS.
