Hi, i have a few questions about lion on the 2011 macbook pro 13 inch.

i upgraded to lion and here are issues that i am having!

in some of my full screen apps and games my colors will be off or glitchy i may even not have a mouse pointer. (all are intel based programs)

when i click a link in safari it takes a good 5 seconds before it shows me that it has the response i also cant scroll a webpage while im waiting for that link to load.

computer seems unresponsive at times and then zooming fast after it relizes i told it to do something.

lion is constantly dropping my wireless network.

my computer is running 15 degrees hotter then with SL. (Spot light has completed)

i am wondering if any one has had these issues or has a fix to any of them

i am really close to just going back to SL and waiting for them to get a few updates out for lion.

and just a random question... why are they trying to turn my very expeinive laptop in to a very nasty ipad

So. this what i ended up doing.

i added a 3rd partion to my hdd shrunk down lion to as small as possible and im going to install snow leopard back on to the drive and boot from that tell i start seeing some updates for lion fixing these issues. or intel i fill up my new SL partition wich could be a while. and then i will upgrade the SL partion to lion and delete the old partion.

i will let any one know if this helps with any of the problems.

does any one know if i do eventully delete the SL partition will i be able to gain that space back in lion?
