iLife '08? Does anyone know if the Amazon Macbook Pros ship with the new iLife '08?
496055
I've been wondering that myself so I emailed customer service. The response I got back said she had confirmed it was shipping with iLife '08, but then as proof, she copied the details from the product page that said iLife '06. I wrote back asking for verification since there was the discrepancy. The next customer service person to answer couldn't even find the Macbook Pro and sent me a link to a Family Tree software product (???) and suggested calling Apple for help. I called Amazon customer service, but the person I spoke with also could only refer to the webpage and wasn't sure how recently their stock was purchased from Apple. Now, I love amazon as much as the next regular customer, but only being able to give me information I could already get myself is not my idea of helpful customer service! (I did try calling Apple, too, but as expected, they had no way of knowing how recent Amazon's stock is.) Anyway, sorry I don't have the answer, but if anyone else has purchased it recently, I'd be interested to hear as well.

It is as new as you get straight from the Apple store. I have purchased 3 mac computer and accessories all from Amazon and have always been very happy. This reseller even shipped it to my residence out of my normal residence and got it in two days.

Google i7 vs i5 for differences. Mac makes them with I7, Amazon just doesn't carry them

Yeah, what's up with that? I just bought it for my sister's birthday and Amazon is telling me that it'll ship in November??? Forget it, I'm canceling the order and buying it from Apple.

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.

We currently support up to "Early 2013" models of MacBook Pro (10,1 and 10,2) which ship with "Ivy Bridge" Core i5 or i7 processors. Our best estimate for when we'll have the 2013 Haswell MacBook Pro w/ Retina in videos is sometime in Q3 of 2014. OWC Michael P.

It's not released by Apple yet; their official store shows a 5-7 day ship estimate. I'd imagine Amazon will be around the same time.

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 -

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.

Unfortunately, you can only purchase the versions they sell online. I called Amazon.com Reps and confirmed they don't customized Macbook Pros.

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 placed mine on May 8th, but haven't seen mine ship yet. Could anyone whose MacBook Pro 17" has shipped please let us know when you ordered it?

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

bought mine Saturday, came with old leopard (but i bought snow leopard)best macbook pro ever. snow leopard really makes it come alive (with speed)my adobe and pro apps load up with the greatest of ease (it's scary how fast they run now), heck, even firefox doesn't slow down the system anymore! (though it does take it's time)and now you can add more than 10 items to you dock (when dragging a folder down), soo awesome!

Have anyone had any update on the shipping date as of yet?? I'm very close to just going to the Apple store to order my laptop.

FYI - I preordered mine from Apple in the middle of Jan and just received it this week (2/25). So it isn't just Amazon - I have read posts that say some Apple stores have them - but I think that might be false.
