Apple’s latest operating system, El Capitan, features a host of enhanced performance capabilities, and supports several languages that have been unavailable on previous systems. In terms of general capabilities, El Capitan boasts significantly increased operating speeds: users can open PDFs four times faster, view messages in mail twice as fast, and launch apps 40% faster. In addition to the convenience provided by these increased speeds, the system is also more linguistically convenient in that it increases the amount of words, numbers and fonts available to users, and allows for a speedier typing experience in dozens of languages. The new features are highlighted in more detail below:
