Amazon's out of stock, next batch with Leopard preinstalled?

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.

Good point. It's October and the Amazon iMacs still ship with Snow Leopard? Every other reseller I've checked is offering models with Lion pre-installed. You guys just lost a sale.

You can install it without need for Tiger, Leopard, etc. I think that legally, you should have Tiger or Leopard to install Snow Leopard, but I wouldn't recommend upgrading over an existing system. It's OK if you don't have iLife or iWork, as when I bought my Mac over three years ago (had Tiger) that didn't have serial number for iWork, and so I'd assume that any 'bonus' software like that you'd have to pay for anyway. Hope this helps. Don't use Time Machine--just copy all your important documents and whatever else to the other drive manually. That's what I do. I don't trust backup programs (many people don't--I've read some horror stories in the past on data loss).

Has anyone ordered a Macbook Pro Retina on Amazon.com gotten theirs delivered ?

The brochure says that Newsoft Presto Page Manager is not compatible with 10.5 Leopard. Do you need that to scan to PDF? That's the main task I'd be using this for, but if there's no compatible 10.5 Leopard software, I don't want to buy it. Thanks

there does not seem to be a way to pre-order the fully installed imac leopards either even on apple.com .

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.

Amazon is now claiming this won't be in stock until Nov 14. Hmmm... I needed mine this weekend.

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.

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

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).

My order status is still "pre-order." Anyone knows when it will ship? My laptop is broken so I'm counting on this Macbook air.

Wow. It seems they've already run out. However, it ships and sells from Target. I love Target, but I don't want to have to pay sales tax and shipping & handling, so I'm going to wait until Amazon sells it themselves.

I'm so sorry...I just checked with the Amazon warehouse and they said I didn't have anymore in stock. Some sort of error...Thanks for your inquiry. I apologize that I couldn't be more helpful to you.

Whatever stock Buy.com had is gone now. The Amazon "Not yet available/Pre-order" message is back up at the MSRP. Can't believe I caught this a a 33% discount. Hope I'm not getting scammed and these were early release units to generate some interest and reviews??!
