Mac OS X Snow Leopard: Upgrading from Leopard June 15, 2009

Posted by very in : Announcement, Apple, Applications, Apps, Leopard, Mac OS X, MacBook, Media, News, Resources, Reviews, Snow Leopard, Tech, Troubleshooting , add a comment

Generally I avoid OS upgrade but this time I am giving it a try in a production machine.

Upgrading from Mac OS X Leopard to Mac OS X Snow Leopard Developer Preview on my MacBook Pro.

My colleague tested the upgrade on a MacBook Core Duo and it went smoothly.

I’ll see if the upgrade went smoothly on my MacBook Pro Core Duo.

P.S. I ordered another 320GB 7200RPM SATA hard drive for the MacBook Pro. It is still much cheaper than the 500GB 7200RPM notebook hard drive.
