During Apple’s WWDC 2013 developers conference earlier this month, Apple unveiled details on its new multi-monitor support within its new Apple OS X Mavericks operating system.
However, what Apple didn’t do was provide a detailed runthrough of the differences between its new Apple OS X Mavericks operating system compared with the currently available Apple Mountain Lion OS X.
Key Differences Between OS X Mavericks and Mountain Lion
But don’t despair, if you are wondering what the differences are and how the new multi-monitor support will affect your setup when you install Apple’s OS X Mavericks operating system. A video has been created and published on YouTube by YouTube user MrThaiBox123 revealing exactly what you can expect from the new Apple operating system.
One of the most significant changes in OS X Mavericks is the enhanced multi-monitor support. In Mountain Lion, using multiple monitors could be somewhat cumbersome. For instance, the menu bar and dock were only available on the primary display, making it less intuitive to work across multiple screens. Mavericks addresses these issues by allowing each display to have its own menu bar and making the dock available on whichever screen you are currently using. This improvement is particularly beneficial for professionals who rely on multiple monitors for their workflow, such as graphic designers, video editors, and software developers.
“This video explains how the new multiple monitor features work in the brand new mac osx 10.9 mavericks. In my case six 27 inch displays on an Apple mac pro.”
Additional Features and Enhancements
Beyond multi-monitor support, OS X Mavericks introduces several other noteworthy features. For example, the new Finder Tabs feature allows users to manage multiple Finder windows within a single window, similar to how web browsers handle multiple tabs. This makes file management more streamlined and less cluttered.
Another significant addition is the introduction of Tags, which allows users to organize and find files more efficiently. By tagging files with keywords, users can quickly locate related documents, images, and other files, regardless of their location on the system.
Mavericks also brings improvements to system performance and battery life. The new Timer Coalescing feature reduces CPU usage by grouping low-level operations together, which helps extend battery life on MacBooks. Additionally, App Nap conserves power by putting inactive applications into a low-power state.
Safari, Apple’s web browser, has also received a major update in Mavericks. The new version of Safari includes a redesigned Top Sites page, improved performance, and enhanced security features. The browser now uses less memory and energy, making it more efficient for everyday use.
Moreover, Mavericks introduces iCloud Keychain, a feature that securely stores and auto-fills passwords, credit card information, and Wi-Fi network details across all your Apple devices. This makes it easier to manage and access your sensitive information without compromising security.
