This morning, I received an email from Apple announcing OS X Lion, described as the "most advanced desktop operating system". Does "desktop" there mean Lion is not suitable for a laptop? My MacBook Pro has Core i7. Thanks.

In this case, the word "desktop" means all non-iOS devices..so Mac Pro's, iMac, Macbook Pro and Macbook..

You certainly have the necessary specs to be able to run Lion once it is released in July..

Since Lion is a Mac App Store download-only, you want to make sure that you are running the latest version of Snow Leopard so that the upgrade will go smoothly..

When they say desktop, they mean both desktop and notebook. As to why they used "desktop" instead of "computer" is beyond me.

And as long as it has a Core 2 Duo or later in it .....

Dont forget to use the Reputation System if someone has helped you out !!!
“I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom ….”― Edgar Allan Poe
