The Mac OSX Lion stated its purpose as simplifying the existing operating system and combining it with an iOS experience. What Lion was supposed to deliver was the simple and easy to use interface that the iPhone and iPad held and bring it to the desktop experience. This doesn’t seem like such a bad thing when put like that but what Lion has brought to the users is a new version of an operating system where even though the user experience has been simplified in some areas and oddly complicated it in other areas, the fact remains that there are performance issues with Lion.
Mac OSX Lion: Issues
– The memory management is broken. Lion has slowed down the user experience for many users because it is very memory-greedy.
– Lion has been known to randomly crash, resulting in a totally black screen and the recovery time is very high.
– The Wi-Fi connection seems to be dropping at fairly regular intervals, and the only way to get it back up is turning the adapter off and on again.
– Running Lion causes a significant drop in the MacBook Pro battery life
– There have been known to be video crashes which cause freezes.
– Rosetta is Apple’s Power PC emulation software and Lion does not support it.
– There are several other such apps which work fine on Snow Leopard but appear to be broken when run on Lion.
– The auto-light feature is known not to work very accurately.
