With a 2010 machine I would definitely do a clean install. On my 2011 iMac which initially came with Lion thing definitely slowed up after upgrading to Mavericks. I have head others making this complaint as well. These problems were largely resolved after I eventually bit the bullet and did a clean install. I restored settings and documents from my Time Machine Backup so I did not find it too inconvenient and my machine was definitely improved compared to the simple upgrade process.

Hi listers I have a 2010 mac mini, running mountain lion. It is a little slow opening apps but not too bad yet. I am about to start a degree in September and may be getting a laptop as well, which will probably be using Mavericks or Yosemite. I am looking for opinions as to the pros and cons of upgrading to Mavericks at this time and whether my mac mini will be better or worse with the upgrade. Not urgent, but thought others may be having the same thoughts.
