In plain English, Power Nap actually wakes the computer from time to time while being in a Sleep mode, allowing the usual housekeeping chores to be done.

Power Nap is a handy new option in the Mountain Lion, allowing the computer to ‘sleep’ most of its features while heavily collecting data crucial to the system. As for compatibility, a wide range of apps and services has been included, such as Twitter, Calendar, Mail, Reminders, Messages and plenty others. From here, users will have to drag the window from the right side of the trackpad only, to receive an overview off all unread messages or, warp to System Preferences and customize the way the software works for each application, just like on iOS.Īll notifications are received without interrupting the user and for those that want to max out its potential, the system can be heavily customized to show a certain number of recent items or to play a sound whenever something new pops out. Everything worth mentioning will appear as bubbles in the upper-right corner of the screen and then slide away into the dedicated hub. This allows users to receive and reply to frequent changes, just like they do with Apple’s smartphone. Without question, the most expected feature of the new platform is the Notifications Center ported from iOS 5. Those reading these lines from a Windows terminal, here’s what you’re missing: 1.
