new leopard disk - 10.5 (or) 10.5.1 ? When i order a leopard disk today, are they going to give 10.5 version or the updated 10.5.1 version?

I would guess that you would receive the 10.5 version. This is what Apple has done in the past.

The drive works well on my system, an iMac running OS 10.9 (Mountain Lion). I did a quick online search and found users reporting no problems using OS 10.5 (Leopard) and several versions in between. Check your OS and search for the drive and your specific OS

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.

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?

The new drives from amazon.com are shipping with firmware 1.5, currently the latest firmware. If by chance you get an older firmware version, it's easy to update it using OCZ's bootable tool.

This is an early 2010 i5 dual core with hyper-threading. It shipped with 10.6 Snow Leopard but is compatible with 10.9 Mavericks.

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 honestly have no idea. My husband ordered this for himself while on deployment (he's still currently deployed). And I do not remember what version of OSX he has.

You can update the hard drive but unfortunately you will be locked on the leopard OS 10.5 because everything from snow leopard on is intel processor only and you can't update the processor. I hope that helps.

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.

Not true, you can upgrade to Leopard for $9.95 through Apple if you bought the Tiger Macbook between Oct. 1 and Dec. 29! Go to Apple's website and submit your Macbook serial number to qualify for the $10 upgrade to Leopard!

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 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).

I'd like to know if amazon's mac book pro will come with snow leopard too. It's already out on apple's website.

I have upgrade both versions of the iBook and also the new MacBook. There is no comparison, the MacBook is the easiest Mac laptop ever for upgrading the hard drive. (The iBook being the worst!) You might need a Torx 8 (??) screwdriver, I can't remember now, but it was in my standard Mac toolkit. :-)

I just ordered this June 2nd and I have the new 13.3" Macbook Pro with Retina. This thing did not work for me and now I can't get a CD I put into it ejected. That would be because it's a piece of crap, not the laptop.

Yes. I haven't encountered any issues. These are top notch disc's. I've used them in several PC's including my older MacPro and G5 desktops. I don't have a MacBook. I haven't had any bad disc's as of yet. I still have over half of the 200 I purchased... but I think I would've had at least one go by now if the QC was lousy. Remember that the best name disc's can have bad runs, and vis versa. IMO we are at the mercy of luck in many cases. All you can do is find a "currently" high rated product, and get it fast before they rest on their laurels! I hope I didn't get too off subject for you here? But I like these discs! Yes.
