Ondrej Holzman On Tuesday, Apple released GM version of the new Mountain Lion operating system and also revealed the official list of supported computers on which OS X 10.8 can be installed.
Obviously, if you don't even install OS X Lion on your current model, you won't succeed with Mountain Lion either. However, the new operating system will not support some 64-bit Macs either.
To run OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, you must have one of the following models:
- iMac (Mid 2007 and later)
- MacBook (Late 2008 aluminum or Early 2009 and newer)
- MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 and newer)
- MacBook Air (Late 2008 and newer)
- Mac mini (Early 2009 and later)
- Mac Pro (Early 2008 and newer)
- Xserve (Early 2009)
If you are currently using the Lion operating system, you can find out whether your computer is ready for the new beast through the Apple icon in the upper left corner, the menu About This Mac and then More Info.
OS X Mountain Lion will hit the Mac App Store in July and will cost less than $20.
whether he is here
However, it should be added that not all supported Macs will receive all the features of the new OS. And they keep quiet about it. E.g. My iMac (Late 2009) won't get AirPlay Mirroring. And that's despite the fact that a third-party app already handles it on Lion.
Well, I hope that Mountain Lion will return to the level of Snow Leopard in terms of stability and speed. Personally, I've spoiled my taste for Lion.
