Apple has just released its next generation Mac Operating System called the OS X 10.11 El Capitan. The new OS is now considered as the 12th iteration of the American multinational company's desktop computer models and is said to lay its foundation from its predecessors.
The new "El Capitan" OS is termed after a noticeable rock formation in Yosemite National Park in California. According to reviews, the name fits for it since the new software has a solid rock design in terms of stability.
One of the several changes that can be observed in the new OS is the Apple's Metal graphics technology which was first introduced in the iOS. The said technology, if compatible with an Apple device, can offer a high level performance in terms of gaming and apps capability. The security system for the new OS was also improved and enhanced.
It is also notable that El Capitan adopts the Apple's programming language Swift. The household software provides developers the ability to write certain apps in a lesser latency and a much more proficient performance.
Furthermore, Apple Insider stated the two major modifications of the new OS X is the enhanced Mission Control and the Split View feature which is available at full-screen. The new Mission Control is said to "make multi-window desktop management a bit more digestible" while the Split View is an improvement to the conventional window control buttons which were composed of a red, yellow and green traffic light colors.
The OS X 10.11 El Capitan is now available in the Apple Store and can be downloaded as free. The new software requires a 2GB RAM and 8GB of storage as minimum prerequisites. While older Mac models can run the El Capitan, the former desktops especially the 2007 models cannot obtain its maximum features.
This means that only those Mac units who already have a decent graphic cards, like those models released not earlier than 2012 can operate its full features.
