[QUOTE="Hemmingway, post: 1269101, member: 208371"] I completed the free upgrade to Lion last night; purchased my MBP at Best Buy on 07-17-11 and only needed to fill out the request through the Mac store online before being emailed a code to redeem. It was the easiest and most painless OS upgrade I have ever done and to be honest, the first time I did an OS upgrade and feel comfortable with the system being stable. When I dealt with permanently nearly broken garbage, I would always wipe the whole disk and install what they called an OS from scratch. I am finding Lion to be, of course, much different than the Snow Leopard version I had just gotten used to. Enough so that I was no longer using my MBP in test mode with SL and had gone to full out using it. Lion has knocked me back into the steps on the kiddy pool for now with some of the gestures seemingly difficult to do, such as launchpad. Other things such as expose I really miss and have not found out yet how I can cycle through my programs again without going to the dashboard. However a Mac is still easier than ever to use and I am sure I just have to feel out Lion to get that same comfort level back. All in all I stand by my advice. If you have opened your eyes enough to even consider a Mac, just find one of the many types that will match your needs and BUY IT! New or refurbished, you will not be disappointed. Don't hesitate over specs, the more muscle you buy in your Mac the more impressed you are going to be. Period. Regardless of your needs, you cannot go wrong in getting a Mac from hardware and software performance to OS upgrades. That's my switcher story and I still love my Mac. 8) [/QUOTE]
