APPLE SNOW LEOPARD FOR MAC BOOK PRO 2010 MAC OS X
Mac OS X Snow Leopard was the last release of Mac OS X to support the 32-bit Intel Core Solo and Intel Core Duo CPUs.Īpple states the following basic Snow Leopard system requirements are:
APPLE SNOW LEOPARD FOR MAC BOOK PRO 2010 UPGRADE
The earlier version continues to be sold for the benefit of users that require Snow Leopard in order to upgrade to Lion, which is primarily sold through the Mac App Store introduced in the Snow Leopard 10.6.6 update. Snow Leopard was succeeded by Mac OS X Lion (version 10.7) on July 20, 2011. This is also the first Mac OS release since System 7.1.1 that does not support the PowerPC architecture, as Apple now intends to focus on its current line of Intel-based products.

New programming frameworks, such as OpenCL, were created, allowing software developers to use graphics cards in their applications. Much of the software in Mac OS X was extensively rewritten for this release in order to fully take advantage of modern Macintosh hardware. Addition of new end-user features was not a primary goal. Unlike previous versions of Mac OS X, the goals with Snow Leopard were improved performance, greater efficiency and the reduction of its overall memory footprint. The release of Snow Leopard came nearly two years after the introduction of Mac OS X Leopard (version 10.5), the second longest time span between successive Mac OS X releases. As a result of the low price, initial sales of Snow Leopard were significantly higher than that of its predecessors. On August 28, 2009, it was released worldwide, and was made available for purchase from Apple's website and its retail stores at the price of US$29 for a single-user license.

Snow Leopard was publicly unveiled on June 8, 2009 at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference. Mac OS X Snow Leopard (version 10.6) is the seventh major release of Mac OS X, Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. This is not based on figures, just on my gut feelings: I suspect that Yosemite may be too demanding about hardware configuration.Closed source (with open source components) Personally, I don't feel like upgrading to Yosemite, but I'd rather move to Maverick. Please, don't point out the latter are free - I know - just focus on performance. Here's an excerpt from the System Profiler running on my laptop (translated from Italian localization): Here's my trilemma: which of the aforementioned OS would better fit my laptop's hardware? According to Apple's official site all of them have the same minimum requirements: Now I need to move to Java 7 or maybe Java 8 and I need to upgrade Snow Leopard to one of its successors: So, just consider the main use I do of my Mac is about developing on the java platform (ad just for fun).

I'm running OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, and I've never needed to upgrade because I use my mac only for software development on the java environment, so I've never needed to stay up to date and I don't even have Apple or Android devices to sync. I'd like to have some feedback from those of you who have experience to share about upgrading OS X on MacBook Pro 15" (mid 2010 - MacBookPro6,2).
