I had a similar bad experience with installing Mavericks on a similar iMac. While the additional memory was helpful, I don't think the newer OSs are exactly compatible with legacy models; we had overheating and random shutdown issues. We eventually rolled back to Snow Leopard and it's been much better since.

I got one of these just a few days ago (Jan 23 '08) from Amazon and Leopard was preinstalled. Now I see that they're out of them again!Paul

I wonder how often these rebates come again. The current rebate will expire before OS X Leopard is released (which is the earliest that these machines can come pre-installed with the OS).

The Apple Website says as of 6pm today all new Imac's are preinstalled with Leopard. I wonder when Amazon will start doing the same.

I would think that the next iMac shipment from Apple to all of it's re-sellers would include Leopard installed since they are available that way now at the Apple Store (and have been so awhile I believe). I've got a 24 incher on order too and am more concerned about that $100 rebate from Amazon which apparently expires next Monday 12/3. Amazon says it may be 3-5 weeks until this this model ships. I'm hoping they will show up a little early...like this week, before this rebate expires. Otherwise I may cancel and wait until after the first of the year to re-order.

bought mine Saturday, came with old leopard (but i bought snow leopard) best macbook pro ever. snow leopard really makes it come alive (with speed) my adobe and pro apps load up with the greatest of ease (it's scary how fast they run now), heck, even firefox doesn't slow down the system anymore! (though it does take it's time) and now you can add more than 10 items to you dock (when dragging a folder down), soo awesome!

Just received the camera today. waited forever for amazon. ended up buying it from tigerdirect.com. came with free shipping (fast too...ordered it on thurs). so far i'm really impressed with the camera. can't believe that even after this whole thread, amazon still maintains that the product has "not been released". I totally understand if they, for some reason, can't get their hands on this product. But at least update the page to say "out of stock", which is more accurate in this scenario. I initially thought that it wasn't going to come out till June ANYWHERE based on amazon's response to my email inquiry. Good thing I came across this thread. Thanks guys.

There is a pre-release download for MAC on the Belkin site. I'm not sure it's much better but worth a try. They never offered a version compatible with Snow Leopard but mine is on OSX 10.6.6. I'm in correspondence with them at present, but don't hold out much hope. It's a pity because if it worked it would be great.

I'm not complaining, I already have Leopard installed on my iBook and I really like it. I want to receive the iMac with Leopard installed so I can start working from the get-go. I just assume because Amazon is out of stock now that they are waiting for Apple to ship them iMacs with Leopard installed already.

Sorry, I was too brief before from my phone. My Mac mini came with OS 10.9.1, which is Mavericks, I believe. I think all of the Mac Minis being shipped from Apple are currently shipping with Mavericks. The units Amazon's vendors are shipping may be pre-Mavericks, and I do not know if there is an upgrade fee. I went to the Apple web site and there was an update screen that popped right up to go to Mavericks, but I do not know if it is free.

This does not include original box. This is a refurbished product. At Minimum it comes with a charger. Some people have said they have contacted the company directly and received a mouse and video-out cable. Comes with basic snow-leopard software. No Microsoft Office or additional add-on's included. At least not in general anyway, and I think these machines are all installed with a standard image so they should all be identical. The machine I received was fully upgraded - 3GB RAM and 500GB HD. This machine is lion capable - it can be purchased through apple for $20.

G Nerd Boy G,Just to confirm: you ordered the 24" iMac? I also ordered my 24" on Wed the 13th but mine is still showing the Nov 13th ship date. Did amazon email you to let you know it had shipped?Thanks & Congrats

You are welcome! My advice: buy $29 disk of Snow Leopard OSX 10.6, and go online and keep upgrading the system software to 10.6.8. Stop there. OS 10.6.8 is the most stable OS Apple ever created. Mavericks and Yosemite are awful. MB404LL/A loves OS 10.6.8.

Hey man I just checked what you said and its true...I bought mine less than two months ago and it said newest version...amazon probably differences their bundles this way...the computer came completely new and in perfect condition its the latest model and its extremely thin...the retina display will blow your head off its gorgeous...I have some pictures on instagram if you want to see it... @wakiko007 hope I helped answering your question

Yes. It came with Mountain Lion. You can always check the version through the model number. Of course you need to know the specs (processor, memory, solid state disk, etc.) because the model changes with them. My MacBook Air with 2GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 256 GB SSD, 13.3 inch screen has model number A1466.
