iLife '08? Does anyone know if the Amazon Macbook Pros ship with the new iLife '08? Thanks.

Exactly. I emailed customer service as well. They told me the computers ship with iLife '06 because that's what the product description says under the "included software" heading. This was not helpful at all, since I already knew that iLife '06 was listed in the product description. The real issue here is how recent is Amazon's stocks of the product, because the product has been recently updated, and it may be the case that they have the updated product but have not updated the product description page.It would be great if someone who has purchased a Macbook Pro from Amazon recently can verify this.

I talked to support, they said '06. PC Connection has it with '08 and glossy if you want. Guess I may go shopping over there. Apple did once have an up to date program for iLife like they do now for Leopoard, but not anymore.

Thanks so much for the confirmation, Michael.I also found a review on Amazon of AppleCare (for the Macbook Pro) that had an interesting point. On May 12, 2007, JOACHIM said in a review that when he registered the AppleCare for his Macbook Pro purchased through amazon, the expiration date was 3 months earlier than he expected based on his purchase date. Upon calling Apple, he found out that the AppleCare start/end dates are based on when Amazon purchased the computer from Apple - not when you purchase the computer from Amazon. I think it's something good to know in and of itself, but for the purposes of this discussion, it also shows that Amazon's stock of Macbook Pro's may be as much as 3 months old or more...

I just got my MBP. It had 10.4 Tiger but iLife 08. I ordered Leopard through Apple for ten bucks.

HI. I ordered my Macbook Pro from Amazon 8/17, and it just arrived today. I didn't even think to check to be sure that it was going to come with iLife '08, and it did not. It came with '06.
224563
It's now two and one half months later and the same question remains. Anyone knows the answer? The description still says Ilife06. Customer service told me that they would remedy the situation if it really ships with the old version.

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).

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.

I checked a number of other resellers' sites last night and they are all still shipping iLife '06 as well (and apparently trying to deplete the stock since there are so many special offers on them). So I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon's stock is still loaded with iLife '06. If you get tired of waiting, I just found this morning that if the machine comes from Amazon with iLife '06 now, it would qualify for Apple's iLife '08 Up-To-Date program where you can get the upgrade for 9.95 plus tax. Ten dollars more is still a great deal on this machine so I might go that route even though it will take a little longer to have the computer with iLife '08 on it.

JC - do you have any update on shipping status for your iMac (24" right?)? Amazon now says Sep 20 - Oct 4 timeframe for shipping new orders, and I'm hoping that you've seen something a lot better than that...

Yes, that's what I have. If I go under the apple menu&gt; "about this mac"&gt;more info &gt; it shows I have the 13" Late 2011 macbook pro. I'm pretty happy with this case. I hope it works for you. Cheers

I called Amazon about this and the Mac Mini. I was told that computers will have the older version of ILife until they are sold out of those. As of yesterday, Apple has made no arrangements with Amazon for a "free version" upgrade on units sold after the release of ILife 11.

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.

That laptop is thiner then the MacBookPro since it does not have a optical drive, so no. but if click the by Macally link under the name, I bet they they do mane them.

Looks like Amazon already has the new stock, but they may show up in different entries from the older versions. Eg Apple MacBook MB403LL/A 13.3-inch Laptop (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive) White

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?
224297
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 got my macbook pro from apple store. free printer+free ipod touch. and college student discount. 1199-100= 1099. still cheaper than amazon.com?

I don't know what that means, but if you mean the NEW NEW MacBook Pro, probably not (I've jealously eyed the new MacBook pro's of friends of mine and the shape is very different). That is my expert advice, you're welcome Amazon.

I send the Mac with OSX Mavericks. Amazon does not let Sellers Update Specifications on All Amazon Listings. I cannot speak for Other Sellers. The Finest Macbooks - http://www.amazon.com/shops/A38OB0VFIV6QC4/ref=aag_d_sh

Thank you for the update. Major bummer - Apple seems to be screwing Amazon and the other retailers by holding out inventory of the new iMacs from them. I don't want to wait another month + either, so I'll probably get one from the Apple store too, and suffer the $150 tax hit. Booooo to Apple on this one.
