MacBook in Easy Steps also covers the MacBook operating system, OS X Lion, in detail, including the workhorse areas such as the Dock and the Finder. It also covers the developments to OS X Lion that really announces it as an operating system that has been designed for the fast moving times in which we live. Computer apps are increasingly a part of everyday life and OS X Lion has a Mac App Store for storing and using all of your favorite apps. There is also a handy Launchpad function, where you can manage all of your applications, whether it is the ones on your MacBook, or new ones you have downloaded. Using a MacBook touchpad, OS X Lion also delivers the same Multi-Touch functionality as the iPad in terms of scrolling and zooming. Other new features include a Resume function so you can get back to work quicker, Auto Save, Versions comparison and Air Drop, which enables you to send files to anyone within wireless range.
