Leopard or Snow Leopard?
I have a four-year old MacBook Pro that has the silver keyboard and originally came with Mac OS 10.5 Leopard. A few months later, I upgraded my Mac to Snow Leopard and everything worked out fine until I realized my battery life decreased dramatically, which I'm sure many of you have experienced it before. About two months ago, I upgraded my Mac to Lion and that was when I had a lot of issues with my Mac. Google Chrome crashed, keyboard stopped functioning and the computer became slow altogether.
Frustrated, I downgraded my Mac back to Leopard and now, everything works out fine. However, I noticed that I'm missing a lot of things that I took for granted such as FaceTime, App Store, more features and other useful stuff.
My question is should I upgrade back to Snow Leopard or should I just stick with Leopard? I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard but I'm afraid of having the same issues all over again. Has Apple fixed the Service Battery issue and other problems? Is it safe for my 2008 MacBook Pro to go to Snow Leopard? My specs are:
MacBook Pro
Version 10.5.8
Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
P/S:
Appreciate if you can also answer this question: I also seem to have a problem with my CD Drive. It seems that it can't read certain discs, mostly music CDs. Is it worth paying it for a replacement or should I get a new Mac altogether?
MacBook Pro (2008 Model), Mac OS X (10.5.8), iPhone, iPod Touch, iPod Classic
