I just purchased a brand new Macbook Pro last week and it came preinstalled with Lion. Now today I was gonna start setting things up on it so that I can start using it for class and it's starts operating like a ten year old piece of junk. I also own a Mac Mini that I've had for three years that has Snow Leopard on it and I have no complaints, it works like a charm.
The details of my Macbook Pro issues are: Freezing. Without having installed anything at all, a totally brand spanking new Macbook Pro, it's freezing solid with the simplest tasks. I tried to open a text file with text edit, it froze. Beyond having the option to even force quit. I had to manually shut it down and restart it. Then I thought maybe it was just a weird fluke and tried using it again. I plugged it into the wall to get power off the battery and the icon didn't show the electricity symbol in the top right corner like I was expecting, so I clicked on it to see the drop down menu and see stats on it, and it froze solid again. No force quit available, but in this case it wouldn't matter anyway because the only thing open was Finder.
I'm sooo confused how this is even possible, an expensive Mac laptop, brand new, operating like an abused Windows 95 almost two decades old. Is the problem with the new Lion operating system? (I've heard stories) Should I be looking into getting my money back?? Is it even possible to downgrade to Snow Leopard?
