Our quick take

Apple OS X El Capitan - 4.0 / 5

El Capitan review: Small but useful UI changes

El Capitan review: Mission Control is an improved and simpler experience

El Capitan review: Spilt View  

El Capitan review: Mail suggested contacts, Safari pins and media

El Capitan review: Spotlight over Siri?

El Capitan review: Performance

To recap

If you’re a Mac user then the El Capitan update is a no brainer to download, thanks to some new features such as improved Mission Control and Spotlight, Split View full-screen apps, Safari Pins and Mail Suggested Contacts. But if you also use an iPad you might find yourself wanting and then being disappointed that some of those iOS features aren’t to be found in OS X.
