iLife 11 Apple announced iLife 11 will be available free with any Mac purchased as of 20 Oct 10...will ordering from Amazon have iLife 11?

I can tell you that my recent order did not have iLife 11 installed. Apple offers an iLife "uptodate" program where you can order the update for a nominal fee. ($6.99) The problem is... Apple has not accepted the receipt i printed from Amazon because it does not include a part number. Amazon customer service has yet to provide me with a solution...

When you buy in apple you need to paid taxes, that why is almost the same price or more expensive at the store. I saw a few other online store selling the mac around $1100 after the $100 rebate, with free shipping and tax include. I hope amazon lower the price to $1100. I prefer to buy in amazon because I'm a prime member.

I put in an order within what I assume is minutes after this listing hit Amazon. While my order on the Web site has no time frame, it says March 19 when viewed on the iPhone Amazon app. Best guess or just weirdness? The fact that they merged this topic with topics from the 15" models implies there's some amount of forward movement at least. I assume though that Apple won't start shipping to third-parties until they've taken care of their direct customers. I doubt Amazon is hiding anything, I just don't think Apple has given them any real information.

Not familiar with Mac availability. Only know that it's worth about $9.95 at the most.

I'd like to know if amazon's mac book pro will come with snow leopard too. It's already out on apple's website.

Not sure, it would depend on when they got there stock in. If you want it shipped with Leopard you need to go through the Apple store or someone that you can ask. I know all ours are shipping with Leopard. You could call Amazon and ask again, Good Luck

I WAS USING 10.3 on my white macbook 5.2 and I wanted to upgrade to 10.8 and I had to upgrade to 10.6 before it would let me upgrade to 10.8. I went on amazon and found a used 10.6 which was about 1/3 of the price of 10.6 new. then I went to apple apps store and bought and downed loaded 10.8 and everything was fine.

"As to the release date, Apple says the estimate date is the 11th." I think it is sooner cause when I had my ordered at apple.com I had an estimated delivery date of the 10th-14th and that it with their free shipping so it's slow. I canceled my order and got it here to save money.

Like you, I ordered over a month ago, and I got the same email for a December ship date. I went to the Apple store today to pick one up - no problems. However, I got home and received an email from Amazon saying they've shipped the order! What's up with that? Oh well...it'll make a good gift.

N. Bird, you are correct, according to an Apple rep who I spoke with on 12/2 after posting my reply to the original post. The other thing is, my customer sales person from Apple was able to offer me a 6% discount on the spot when I told them of the $50 differential between Amazon's price and theirs. I know!! Her response: "Yeah, not enough people ask for a discount when they call, but they should!" All told, with tax (from both the Apple store AND Amazon), I'd have saved $2 by buying from Amazon... Not worth it! I'm buying my iMac direct from Apple for peace of mind.

I rec'd my iMac 11/6 and it still had Tiger installed. I ordered the $10 + tax upgrade from Apple and it arrived within a few days. Installation took about 90 min. and was very easy. However, if I had it to do over I might stick with the Tiger system a little longer. The reason is Tiger being a mature OS is virtually bug free, where as the brand new leopard will have some bugs to work. Therefore, I would suggest ordering iMac with Tiger and wait a few weeks to order the grade. By then Apple should have fixes in place for a problems that may arrise.

Reading the Apple Support forums, people are getting the black MacBooks now from Amazon even when they are quoted a July shipping date. Also, in the MB 1.83 Ghz Amazon forum, someone mentioned that he got his shipped and delivered earlier this month even when quoted a late shipping date.So I think that Amazon is just being conservative as Apple is notorious for not having enough supply for their products. I think Amazon is just trying to cover their butts in case Apple can't meet demand and doesn't allocate enough shipments to Amazon.

This worked fine with my Apple MacBook Pro MD101LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop (which is the version that first came out in mid-2012) When I went to the Apple store the other day, there was nothing listed as the "newest version" (and it wasn't printed on the box I received from Amazon.) Perhaps this is a designation Amazon has to note as a reseller.

FYI - I preordered mine from Apple in the middle of Jan and just received it this week (2/25). So it isn't just Amazon - I have read posts that say some Apple stores have them - but I think that might be false.

The newest version does not exist on Amazon yet as Apple just announced an updated line from their keynote yesterday (October 22nd). Essentially the newest version is available through Apple only right now.
