Didn't Lion not support 2008 models? I think it's cool, and unusual, that they can now upgrade to Mavericks.

- glogla 13y agoI'm running Lion on 2007 MacBook, so it should support 2008 models. The problem was with Mountain Lion, because it required 64-bit EFI (or something) which older models don't have.
- Dan_Nguyen 13y agoMy girlfriend uses a 2008 aluminum MB (non-Pro), and I never had any issues upgrading her to previous versions of OSX. Now it's running Mountain Lion and downloading Mavericks as I type.
- iambateman 13y agoNice. My 2008 black macbook wouldn't upgrade. But I went MacBook Air, which was great.
- Turing_Machine 13y agoDepends on which model and when you bought it. If it's an iMac, you're good all the way back to mid-2007. Mac Pro needs to be early 2008 or later. Mac Mini needs to be early 2009 or later. If it won't run Lion/Mountain Lion, it won't run Mavericks either, unfortunately. Also note that some features (e.g., AirDrop) aren't available on older machines running Mountain Lion, even if the basic OS runs. I don't know if that's been changed for Mavericks.
