Looking around it for the first time, it doesn’t seem much different from Yosemite. Ever lose you mouse pointer on your screen? Simply wiggle the mouse, and it will grow large.
One very cool – and small – feature is the “lost your cursor” option. Let’s not forget, the new system font San Francisco, which was introduced in iOS 9 – which does seem to render nicely across the OS.
However, it does add multitouch gestures to Mail and Messages, includes split-screen snapping and updates to Mission Control, Spotlight, Safari, Maps and Notes have been improved, and Apple claim app launching is increased by 40%. About an hour later and a couple of auto-reboots, I sat facing a new rock formation backdrop.Įl Capitan is dubbed as a performance release rather than a feature release. Once finished, I set it installing, updating over Yosemite on my Mid 2012 11″ 1.7 GHz i5 MacBook Air with 8 GB RAM. So I set it downloading, and at 6.08 GB it took an hour to download. Some fancy features, such as Handoff and AirDrop, do require a newer Mac. Mountain Lion all the way up to El Capitan can be run on as low as a Mid 2007 iMac, Mid 2007 MacBook Pro, Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook, Late 2008 MacBook Air, Early 2009 Mac Mini, Early 2008 Mac Pro, and 2009 Xserve. Although Mountain Lion required 2 GB RAM, it isn’t recommended to run Mavericks, Yosemite, or El Capitan on so little, and 4 GB should be classed as the minimum. Okay, I knew September 30th was the release date, but there seemed to be no fanfare from fans or the media. It was quietly ushered into the App Store.Īpple haven’t upped the requirements for El Capitan, which remain unchanged since OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion was released in 2012. I woke this morning to find Apple’s 2015 offering of OS X 10.11 El Capitan was ready for download.
El Capitan is the twelth revision of Mac OS X.
