Hi All,

Has anyone else using a late 2007 White Macbook had installed Lion as of yet?

One of the big features, Gestures, looks like it won't work on this model so not sure if it's ideal. Just wondered what people's experiences of it in a very short time had been.

Maybe I need to upgrade to an Air (but the wife won't let me!!)

Thanks

Rob

I have a late 2008 macbook and my gestures aren't work and its really, really inconvenient.

This whole thing with full screen apps...makes it really hard to navigate without gestures. Cause it really locks the app to the screen. It would be a lot less hassle if I could manage it with trackpad swipes.

In Chrome, the top menu doesn't always pop down and the browser doesn't always respond to shortcuts and there is no button to unfullscreen so I have to use a shortcut. Looks like I'm going to be forced to use Safari now.

Might leave myself at Snow Leopard then. I'm happy with it. Although Lion looks very nice and shiney.....

Chrome hasn't been updated for Lion, so that's a Chrome problem.
