The Apple website has announced that some Mac models can run OS X 10.7 Lion operating system and will not be upgraded to the latest version of Mountain Lion. Specifically, machines that cannot be updated to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion include: Plastic iMacs since January 2006, MacBook generations appeared before the end of 2008, the MacBook Pro introduced before June 2002 and The first generation MacBook Air was released in January 2008.

According to Computerworld, the list of updated machines to OS X Mountain Lion is almost the same as the list sent to developers in February this year. Apple's new operating system initially required machines with 2GB of RAM and ran one of the Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 or Xeon processors.

However, not all Mac computers that meet these hardware run OS X Mountain Lion, for example, the first-generation MacBook Air with 2GB of RAM and Core 2 Duo or MacBook Pro 15, 17-inch chips introduced. from October 2006 with Core 2 Duo chip. Currently, Apple has not explained the cause for this contradiction.

As expected, OS X Mountain Lion will sell for $ 19.99 via Mac App Store this month. Earlier this week, "Apple" began releasing OS X Mountain Lion a trial version that completed the Golden Master to all developers.
