I've seen it!
It all (starting with Safari, ending with iWorks) looks kind of "unprofessional".
Not like tools of productivity, but toys.
Shiny and cheesy seems more important than efficient and "slim".
I kind of understand this for iPhone. If I look around, majority of users still doesn't seem to be corporate clients, but teenagers. To them, shiny gadgets may appeal and make for the main market share.
But on MacBook Air? I've always considered this a professional instrument, the travel companion of corporate road warriors.
I guess, next time I tell my clients: "I'd like to show you my presentation. Please put on your sunglasses, the new OS from Apple is a bit bright and shiny"...
Oh man, another annoyance:
When streaming movies via iTunes from my Mac mini, fan on my MacBook Air whirls like crazy and it gets real warm. I've changed nothing in my network, so it has to be something in Mavericks. Unbelievable! I've done this (streaming) in the past for hours without a single whisper from the fan!
I probably have to make a hard reset.
The entire iMail client is hardly usable.
Extremely slow.
Something not reacting for a few seconds when clicking an email.
Painful!
That's it!
I won't use that crappy MacBook Air anymore!
iMail is totally unusable.
I have no idea what's going on.
I can't imagine, this disastrous performance can be normal.
Something must have gone wrong with my update process.
Maybe I should have made a clean new install.
Anyway: iTunes and iMail, my 2 most used programs, both behave the same way:
Slow, obviously resource intensive as the fan starts rather quickly and the MacBook Air still gets quite warm, not productive anymore as I have to click here and there and often have problems to get the right program active...
Frustrating!
