Updated two weeks ago from Maverick on my mid-2014 MacBook Air because Homebrew no longer supports OS X 10.9.5. So far I haven't encountered any major issue. Wi-fi actually connects better. There are a few minor annoyances, though:
(1) The battery lasts slightly shorter (< 10%) than before.
(2) Tapping no longer works on trackpad during login (but it works after you've logged in). You must physically click the trackpad if you want to click anything.
(3) CPU load is high (> 50%) when the Applications folder is kept open in Finder, but I'm not sure if this is specific to High Sierra or not.
- gargravarr 9y agoA side note, since the later Retina MBPs, the trackpad no longer has a physical button - a linear motor thumps the non-moving pad surface when you push hard enough to register a click (and I can't tell the difference, it's brilliantly implemented). So really, tap-to-click is the only thing that works - the difference between it and what used to be a physical 'click' is disappearing.
- arbie 9y agoThe ForceTouch Trackpad on the 2017 MacBook still recognizes taps and clicks as separate events.
- gargravarr 9y agoIndeed. I just found it curious that 'tap to click' as a separate action is no longer relevant, as both actions are no longer physical.
