I’m not an avid Mac user, like many sensible people (I kid, I kid!). So I let master creative dude Marc de Vera play around with Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), on the old white Macbook I upgraded from Leopard (10.5). Here’s what he thought after a few minutes of use.

Below is the reviewer’s guide I received, which highlights the various capabilities of the OS:
If you’ve tried out Snow Leopard for yourself, feel free to share your opinions below. For now though I can say that the P1,690 upgrade price is quite reasonable—only if you’re an avid Mac user of course.
