We’ve been covering Lion for a while now (check out <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/mac-os-x-10-7/">all of our posts on OS X Lion</a> for a ton of tips and relevant information) and we think it’s awesome, but if you’re the type to want reviews before diving in yourself, here’s a handful of the best out there:</p> <p><a href="http://www.loopinsight.com/2011/07/20/my-four-word-mac-os-x-lion-review/">Jim Darymple @ Loop Insight Four Word Review:</a> <blockquote> “Get it, Lion rules!”</p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.macstories.net/mac/a-new-cat-to-tame-os-x-lion-review/">Cody Fink of MacStories:</a> <blockquote> Lion is an evolution of OS X that’s instantly familiar to anyone coming from a previous version. It’s also well designed to be easy to learn for someone who’s never picked up a Mac before.</p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.cultofmac.com/os-x-10-7-lion-is-the-first-great-pc-operating-system-of-the-post-pc-age-review">Leander Kahney & John Brownlee of Cult of Mac:</a> <blockquote>OS X Lion could very well be the last version of OS X as we know it… It’s fitting, then, that OS X Lion is not only the best version of OS X yet, but the first great PC operating system for the post-PC age….Buy it. OS X Lion is the future of PC operating systems in the Post-PC Age.</p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.macgasm.net/2011/07/19/lion-review/">Stephen Hacket of MacGasm:</a> <blockquote> Lion is a solid update that brings a lot of new ideas to the desktop from the mobile space. Clearly, Apple is trying to make the Mac more attractive to its legions of iOS customers. … OS X is still OS X. And Lion is the best version yet.</p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2011/07/mac-os-x-10-7.ars/1">John Siracusa of Ars Technicas exhaustive review:</a> <blockquote> …better technology has simply reduced the number of things that we need to care about. Lion is better technology. It marks the point where Mac OS X releases stop being defined by what’s been added. From now on, Mac OS X should be judged by what’s been removed.</p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2011/07/20/os-x-lion-upgrade/">MG Siegler of TechCrunch seems to be kissing OS X goodbye:</a> <blockquote>…one can’t help but feel that OS X Lion could be the last of its breed in the OS X family. OS X Lion still feels like OS X, but I’m not sure the Mac OS that comes next will… If that’s the case, OS X Lion is a great send-off for what has been a fantastic OS. </p></blockquote> <p>Convinced yet? </p> <p><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=uO47tEUahH8&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fos-x-lion%252Fid444303913%253Fmt%253D12%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30" target="itunes_store">You can get OS X Lion from the Mac App Store Now for $29.99</a></p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kaBl9BYkbjye7TVk9s-EfDHOsyY/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kaBl9BYkbjye7TVk9s-EfDHOsyY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kaBl9BYkbjye7TVk9s-EfDHOsyY/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kaBl9BYkbjye7TVk9s-EfDHOsyY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=GdrP6ODl6Bo:9vmyU2apGyU:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=GdrP6ODl6Bo:9vmyU2apGyU:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=GdrP6ODl6Bo:9vmyU2apGyU:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=GdrP6ODl6Bo:9vmyU2apGyU:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=GdrP6ODl6Bo:9vmyU2apGyU:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=GdrP6ODl6Bo:9vmyU2apGyU:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=GdrP6ODl6Bo:9vmyU2apGyU:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/GdrP6ODl6Bo" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
