Have you upgraded to Mavericks yet?
OS X Mavericks is the new operating system (software) for the Mac. It’s a FREE update for anyone running OS 10.6.8 (or newer) on supported hardware. We definitely recommend upgrading – there are 200 new features! – just make sure you back up your Mac first.
New MacBook Pro
The price of the 13-inch and 15-inch models both dropped by $200, which is great news. Plus you get a Retina display, long battery life, and faster SSDs (solid state drives) which let you switch between files and programs a lot faster.
