Critic Reviews

Apple macOS High Sierra Review | PCMag

pcmag.com

macOS High Sierra emerges as a robust and user-friendly update, bolstered by the new Apple File System (APFS) that significantly enhances speed and reliability. While the Photos app and Safari enjoy noteworthy upgrades, it's the under-the-hood improvements that shine, ensuring a seamless experience for users upgrading from macOS Sierra. However, limitations exist, such as the absence of APFS support for Fusion and HDDs and some compatibility issues with older apps. Despite these minor drawbacks, High Sierra delivers a smooth upgrade that retains familiar usability while adding powerful new features, making it a standout choice for Mac users.

macOS 10.13 High Sierra: The Ars Technica review - Ars Technica

arstechnica.com

macOS High Sierra is a foundational update that emphasizes under-the-hood improvements over flashy new features. While it brings essential upgrades like a new file system (APFS), support for external graphics, and improved image formats (HEIF/HEVC), the changes are mostly invisible to everyday users. Updates to apps like Photos are welcome but minor, and the overall user interface remains largely unchanged. Some features, such as APFS support for Fusion Drives and external GPU compatibility, are incomplete, leading to a sense of an unfinished product. High Sierra sets the stage for future advancements but feels more like a stepping stone than a must-have upgrade.

macOS High Sierra: The MacStories Review - MacStories

macstories.net

macOS High Sierra shines as a foundational update, paving the way for future innovations with its new Apple File System and enhancements like Metal 2 for graphics. While not revolutionary in user-facing features, it offers solid improvements across system apps, making the Mac more efficient. High Sierra's Photos revamp and Safari's performance tweaks are noteworthy, but its real strength lies in setting the stage for future advancements. Despite this, it misses some cross-platform integration opportunities, such as media continuity between macOS and iOS. Overall, it's a promising step forward for Mac users.

macOS High Sierra Review | Macworld

macworld.com

macOS High Sierra is a sleeper hit, offering a treasure trove of under-the-hood improvements that elevate the Mac experience without grand visual overhauls. It refines stability, speed, and security through APFS, making data management seamless, albeit mostly invisible to the average user. The notable updates in Photos and Safari enhance everyday use, although Safari's improvements aren't exclusive to High Sierra. While VR and Metal 2 promise future potential, current compatibility is limited. The free upgrade is a no-brainer for those seeking a robust, efficient OS, but don't expect a visual revolution.
