I bought a 24" iMac last night (6th November'07) and Leopard wasn't pre-installed. I got a Leopard disk, and had to do the installation at home, which takes about an hour and half. The installation is a piece of cake, but I wish it came pre-installed.

So, is Leopard pre-installed yet from Amazon? Anyone purchased in the last few days?

You can buy now with leopard included... but buy from apple.com. But be for warned. They are not shipping their computers with leopard preinstalled, they are just putting the DVD's in the box and you'll have to install yourself. Unacceptable if you ask me. They should be shipping computers with leopard pre installed in about 2-4 weeks.

Did you buy from Amazon? Are they including Leopard inserts with the shipment now, or do you still have to mail in for the DVD? Thanks.

the firmware update on "Software Updates" from Apple fixes the freezing problem. Leopard is cake to install, use the 110 mb update from Apple's support site, it is better so the informed on the forums attest. I am enjoying my 20" 2.4 Aluminum so much, I may get another for the office. I have to run some windoze apps and VMware's Fusion seems the better choice, I have both Fusion and Parellels.

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.

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.
224298
I have tried contacting Amazon to find out when the iMacs with Leopard be available and no one seems to know... does anyone know when it will be?

Thanks for the reply. Please let us know if you are experiencing any of the freezing or color problems we've been seeing in the forum posts.

Taylor: One last comment, click on the link below, it will take you to the Amazon page where they are selling the "old version" of the Mac you referenced. Scroll to the middle of the page and you will see a link to the "new version" of the same Mac. I'll leave it to you to make a side by side comparison of the tech specs, software, enhancements. Interesting, Amazon does not list a price of the new Mac. Apple iMac MD093LL/A 21.5-Inch Desktop (OLD VERSION) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I have purchased 2 macs from Amazon with no problems, both were new non refurb units. Just make sure you buy it from Amazon and not an Amazon reseller

Thanks for your contact! We can offer any OS that you prefer/that the machine supports - but, by default, we do ship with the latest OS X (Mavericks). Yes, I have a few machines in stock. Please don't hesitate to call or message our office with any further questions. Thanks!

Yes, you could buy Leopard, install it on a machine running Jaguar, Panther or Tiger, not have to buy any other version of MacOSX and smile. The normal caveat is that your machine must meet the requirements to install Leopard.

John. I guess Amazon is still selling Mountain Lion. The upgrade happened two weeks ago ... But if you buy from Amazon, you can make the upgrade later. It's free. I advice you to buy 256GB. I've bought 128GB and now I need an external HD.

Yes. Bear in mind that the pre-2010 iMac models do not have an add-on option if I recall correctly, meaning that you will have to completely replace your previous HDD (or SSD if you had previously replaced it).

Many reasons, we ship internationally where i price is many times cheaper, we ship to Military locations which Apple does not, in addition we include free shipping, a new screen protector and a new silicone case. We also have 30 day return policy if item is unopened and unused...Apple only allows for 14 days.

Upon purchasing my computer, the specs show "Mac OS X v10.5.6" as my OS. So, I am wondering if there is some information that is screwed up. All I know is my computer came with Snow Leopard on it, and I upgraded it to Mavericks. Let me find the seller of my Mac. I will forward that information to you. They may be able to help you better than I. Upon searching for the seller of my computer, I didn't seem to locate anything other than their name: The Mac Toy Store. I am pretty sure you can Google the name and find their contact information. They were super helpful throughout my purchase. Good luck!!!

you can buy it before one year warranty will be gone within anytime. I also prefer to buy macbook from apple online not because applecare but cutomizing what I want to add like hard drive, RAM, extra accessaries. I was hesitating between amazon and apple. but I did go with apple. of course, you can upgrade it after by yourself. but it's different story.

You can buy from Amazon at the reduced price. I've done it for the last 2 years. If you are on Apple's automatic renewal plan now, you might want to activate it a couple of weeks ahead of their billing date to avoid billing confusion. Yes, you keep your same e-mail, etc.

It's now 12/28/07. So what's the situation w/ leopard etc? Has any one ordered a macbook from Amazon since nov 25th 07?Amazon.com? What's the deal with not stating what OS comes with the Macbooks you are shipping out? It might be actually causing drop in Macbook sales for you guys. Get with it and state that 'yes they do come with Leopard now!' I'd rather purchase from Amazon (less scary return policy) but I might have to order from Macconnection.com as the price is the same (actually with them you don't have go thru the hassle of the rebate as their price reflects $100 discount) and their site clearly states that they do come with Leopard and iLife 08....

I ordered the Mac Mini on Thursday and got it on Friday using 1 day delivery. It does have iLife 09' on it. But I just went to Apple's website and put my serial number in. I'll be getting iLife 11' for $6.99 in a couple days. They have shipped it out.

If you spend the extra $300 on the more expensive MacBook Pro you get the following: - a faster processor (2.53GHz vs. 2.26GHz) - more memory (4GB vs. 2GB) - bigger hard disk (250GB vs. 160GB) These are all desirable things, however you can do the memory and hard disk upgrades yourself (probably for less than $300). It involves removing the bottom panel (something like a dozen screws) and replacing the hardware. I have not done it myself yet, but it does not look too difficult. I plan to wait for SSD and 8GB RAM prices to drop. The processor is about 11.2% faster, and I doubt that can be upgraded later. However, for me 11.2% is not a significant difference. The faster processor also generates more heat and uses more battery power, so it's a trade off. You could also increase performance with a faster hard drive, but that too would eat into the battery life (which is why I am waiting for the solid state drive prices to drop). Snow Leopard promises to run more efficiently than Leopard, so be sure to sign up for the Snow Leopard up-to-date program so you'll get the latest software when it comes out in September (it's a $10 fee). AppleCare is like an extended warranty. I believe you have up to a year after your initial purchase to sign up for it. It gives you an extra 2 years of service coverage and continues your telephone support after the initial 90 days. I am more of a do-it-yourself guy, so I didn't consider it, but it would be nice knowing you are covered. I bought it for my Mac Mini, but I never used it.

WOW i just noticed that, its the only reason I didn't go ahead and place my order, can anyone confirm this? i get free shipping here and no tax, but apple wants to charge me tax, so i came to amazon, but i don't want to wait a month.

Apple has in the past offered a free upgrade for a new OS if the new system was purchased up to 3 months prior. Counting the months...July, August, September...nope, I would say you are probably out of luck for a free upgrade.

Hi. Just fyi, I did order iLife '08 from Apple through the iLife Up-To-Date program mentioneded (Thank you A. Milne, I would not have known), but Apple's current expected ship date for the upgrade is 2-3 weeks. So, I will have my brand new Macbook Pro with iLife '06 for a few more weeks... Other than that and a problem with the power block, which the local Apple store quickly exchanged, the computer is great.
