One week with the macOS Sierra 10.12 beta installed

For all those who are still undecided whether or not to install the public beta version that came out a few days ago of macOS Sierra 10.12, recommend that if you want to try it, do not be afraid and install it directly on an external hard drive or simply by creating a partition on it. disk of our system. This is really easy to do and it offers us the possibility of testing the beta versions of the new macOS presented at the last WWDC 2016 as soon as they are launched by the guys from Cupertino.

In this case, I'm going to tell a little about the experience from beta 1 for developers to the installation of public beta 2 launched almost a week ago. Evidently in my case I am not using beta versions as a working system and I simply use it to navigate, use Siri from time to time and check the stability of the operating system that will officially arrive on Mac this September approximately.

The truth is that almost all installed applications work well and to give you an idea I will say that macOS Sierra public beta is the version I'm using on an iMac Late 2012. In principle, as I say, all the applications I use work, but it is true that the main tool to download these applications to the Mac is sometimes failing me, rather than failing some applications take a long time to load and sometimes the Mac App Store closes by itself. Each user enrolled in the public beta program has the option of sending bugs found with Feedback Assistant to Apple engineers using the user's Apple ID.

In short, Siri works very well, it allows you to speed up some search tasks for example, but It bothers me a lot that he doesn't add the "Hey Siri" since in the Mac it can be something very productive at times and not having it diminishes the possibilities a bit. For the rest of the new options we can highlight the option to unlock through the Apple Watch or the improved Split View of Safari.

In short, the first week is good in general and it is expected that it will improve as the days go by until the arrival of the official version. So the recommendation is thatue if you want to install macOS Sierra public beta on your Mac do not be afraid and go ahead, that if, in a partition in case the flies.
