Upgraded to Mojave

Bud Kennedy · November 27, 2018, 02:13:17 PM

Decided to go ahead and upgrade to the newest OS for Mac. Completed install in about 1 hour to Mojave 10.14.1 Installation was smooth and easy and all other applications working as they should. You gotta love the ease and accuracy of doing a Mac upgrade.

I never met a Mac user that wasn't completely happy with their product. Problem is I can't afford them

Same boat!!

I even switched from the iPhone because I wouldn't afford nor do I want to pay the price of the new ones. But I agree and have not heard Mac users ever complain

I'm keeping my Macs at High Sierra for now. Other than for testing I rarely ever move any of my machines up until at least the .2 release and then only after it's been out for a bit. I didn't upgrade to High Sierra until the .3 was released. Far too many unknowns in new OS releases these days, particularly in security. I wish Apple would go back to focusing on quality instead of focusing on becoming like Microsoft.

I too waited on High Sierra until it was fully worked out. The Mac community was very high on Mojave and no issues had been reported. Today they release 10.14.1 but I could not see what was different. I think the Mojave is mostly aimed at power users across multiple apple platforms. It has only a few gee whiz features that I don't really need although they are cool.

Too late.

I don't use Mac but I have 2 brothers and a very good friend that all say they are very pleased with Mac.

Macs might be expensive, but they last. I still have a tower form 2000 and a laptop from 1999 I can still boot up. IF you can find one on eBay or a refurbished one, I would pull the trigger on one. I am lucky as my work replaces mine every 3 years. I wish I could buy my old ones, but they put them on a government website that sells 10 at a time! I converted kicking and screaming in 1999 and I won't go back

Yes indeed Mac systems last a long time. I still have a 2007 I Mac in service at this time and I also have a 2018 I Mac that is now my main product. I have been using apple products from way back in the day and they all were expensive but they all lasted a significant period of time. My older mac just cannot be further ugraded to enough memory to handle the current software products. My new one is good for up to 32GB and I am currently at 16GB. They may be expensive to purchase but they come with everything you need and last a long time. My newest I Mac was $1,500 purchased from the Mac Outlet Store.

This is also very true! Windows laptops are out of date and slow after a couple years. Macs will still kick

and keep going
