El Capitan PB2 how's it running on the 12" MB?

[thadoggfather]

I'm on PB1 and its been working well, way better than beta 1 was.

Always apprehensive though moving from one beta to the next.. sometimes it can break more than it fixes.

thanks

Works like a charme! It really feels like working on a new system. You should really give it a try, especially after you have experienced PB1 (which for me sometimes stuck in changing spaces.

It's amazing! Apple has really outdone themselves with El Capitan. I didn't think I would notice any improvement from Beta 1 to 2 but alas, it's even faster. The MacBook is a potent lag free machine now.

I have a 12" gold MacBook coming in tomorrow and I'm so glad to hear PB2 is working so well on it! It's working splendidly on my 15" Pro too!

I'm downloading it now. Hopefully all goes well.

Has the horrible battery life issue been fixed? Mine would fluctuate from 5-7 hours, whereas with Yosemite I am at 8-10 hours.

Took me 2 tries to get it to install, but now that it's on, it's rock solid and snappy (2 things that could not be said for Yosemite)...

I really like DP4 (same as PB2) on my 12'' Macbook.
Its fluid and fast, only thing I experience so far is glitches with swiping back webpages in Safari... Anyone recognizes these glitches?

Do you also have a problem when clicking fullscreen in youtube? I get 2-3 second delay.

My battery life still seems subpar.

i like to keep 2 safari windows open at a time and when i 3 finger swipe between windows it flips back to the original window. i have to do this 2-3 times for it to stay on the window i want. very annoying. also quickbooks still will not work on safari, i have to use chrome

I'm noticing that Microsoft Outlook keeps freezing and I have to Force Quit the app. Otherwise, everything is working well.

10.10.4 has been great for all my lag issues already so El Capitan is going to be gravy.

That's not OSX-related. The latest version (15.11.2 I think) is causing these lock-ups for many. Only workaround I found so far, is to downgrade to the "original" 15.11 and that solves the issue.
