Hi Guys
I have just updated my newish mini with Mavericks and started wondering about
my MacBook Pro which is currently running 10.6.8.
MacBook Pro 3,1
Processor 2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Mavericks says MacBook Pro (mid-/late 2007 or newer) which the 3,1 is.
Would those in the know advise updating system or leaving well alone?
Thanks
Yvonne
Since there is no apparent technical reason not to upgrade, you have to rule
out any personal reasons, eg, are you dependent upon any legacy software on
your Macbook Pro such as AppleWorks or anything else which is not compatible
with Mavericks? You'll have to do a little research in this area if you haven't
done so already.
Assuming that you're comfortable that your working environment won't be
compromised by compatibility issues, you have appropriate backups, and your
Macbook Pro has enough space on the hard drive, I can't see any reason not to
proceed. With the significant differences in the feature list between Mavericks
and 10.6.8, you'll eventually find that working in two increasingly different
OSes will become frustrating.
Having said all that, proceed at your own risk... :-)
