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.

Nope. Unfortunately it only comes with Snow Leopard and doesn't support anything later than it. I'm sure hackers will find a way of making it run, though.

It appears as though they may have pushed out this date. The download website currently reads "Fall, 2008" for a Mac Friendly version... Anyone have any input?

I, too, agree with dosers and Mark B. Plus, I'd add that you're somewhat looking at the glass as half empty. You've got a Mac G4...that's still working...on Leopard, perhaps. That's got to be at least a 5 year old computer, if not older, that is still working to your satisfaction. There's something to be said for that! If and when you're ready to get a new Mac w/ Intel processors, it will be worth it. But rest assured that your current Mac has exceeded the average expectancy and expectations of personal computers.

Yes, you can load Snow Leopard or just about any Mac OS. On Oct. 29 I upgraded my Mac Mini to Mavericks

Ordered an IMac on 11/30/2007 received 12/10/2007 still had Tiger installed but included a Leopard disk, simply a matter of upgrading

I am in the same boat. I know the PC processor in my PowerBook G4 won't support Snow Leopard, so I am hoping to upgrade to Leopard so I can use some peripherals that require at least OS X 10.5. I checked the requirements to run Leopard on Apple's website and it seems doable with what I have. I am only hesitant because of the price tag. Has anyone installed Leopard on a PowerBook G4?

You have to purchase 10.6 to upgrade any further. Depending on your MacBook you might only be able to go up to 10.6. My suggestion is to find out the year of you MacBook and search tutorials on the Mac forums.

NO... not going to happen. Macbook Air is the focus of the new releases. MBP updates will be 2 months to 4 months away

That one on the photo look like the New version to me. Probably a newest version will come out ? But, if you are interested in buy a Mac, it will be a good choice. If you have an Amazon store card buy it because you will get up to a year without in interest charge . That's how I bought mine. No problems so far . Good Luck !

Folks, don't forget that after the TF700 goes on sale, the next version will be released. Do you wait for that one then? When do you decide to stop waiting and actually getting? :)

I just received an NA895LL/A 15" MBP that was ordered on 11/23 (and arrived today 11/27). It came with iLife08 and Tiger preinstalled on the hard drive, the 2 MBP OS/bundle install disks, and a Leopard 'CPU Drop-in Kit' DVD (which was not installed). I'm going to install Leopard from scratch then install iLife08 from the 2 original OS install disks.Apple sales says there is no longer an up-to-date program for iLife08 FWIW, if you get one of these from amazon with the older iLife suite you're SOL ($80 to buy a copy of 08).

Until they release a major version. I'm not sure if they publicly post a roadmap but a new major version was just released so you should be good for awhile.

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.

Best bet is to contact Apple directly. The "old" version is still being sold, overall has great reviews. See link below. If there is a new version it becomes a cost/benefit decision, i.e. are the new enhancements: 1. Relevant to how you plan to use your Mac? 2. How much more money is a "new" version? If the enhancements are not relevant to you and the new version costs more, you would be better off with the old version. If the price is the same old vs. new buy new. Compared to a Windows PC similarly configured, Windows has the edge on price. Let us know what you learn.

re Geordie - me too. iLife 08 installed. Leopard, I had to install but the disk was included. Matte screen imo is better than glossy.
