Is Your Mac Good Enough to take on Yosemite?

June 8, 2014 Leave a Comment

Apple will release their new operating system OS X 10.10 Yosemite between September-November this year.

At this stage of the game the new OSX will run on pretty much the same machines as its predecessor OSX 10.9 Mavericks. You’ll need a 64bit Intel processor, 8GBs of free disk space – if upgrading as appose to clean install min. of OSX 10.6.7 required plus 2GB of RAM.

The Good

  • iMac – all models from mid 2007, iMac 7,1 – 12,1
  • MacBook 5,1 – 7,1
  • MacBook Pro  3,1 – 8,3
  • MacBookAir 2,1 – 4,2
  • Mac Mini 3,1 – 5,3
  • Mac Pro  3,1 – 5,1
  • Xserve 3,1

Which means most devices made prior to 2008 won’t be able to run it.

The Bad

– OS X 10.10 Yosemite won’t run on –

  • iMac 4,1 – 6,1
  • MacBook  1,1 – 4,1
  • MacBook Pro 1,1 – 2,1
  • MacBookAir 1,1
  • Mac Mini 1,1 – 2,1
  • Mac Pro  1,1 – 2,1
  • Xserve  1,1 – 2,1
