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.

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

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 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?

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 -

If you haven't discovered yet, you should be looking at the macbooks with a "/b" appended to the model number. These are listed separately at amazon and have the latest software and cpu. An example would be MB061LL/B.

Sorry Gary, My Macbook pro is a 2012 . You may want to email the manufacturer. I can say that I've been verry satisfied with this product though. Much cheaper than buying from Apple.

Recieved my MBP 17" today. Ordered May 8th, received June 8th. Looks like Amazon has enough to fill backorders since the status of the MBP is that it ships within 24 hours. Hopefully it lasts for anyone who wants one. Loving mine so far (it does get a bit warm...)

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.

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 can tell you that my recent order did not have iLife 11 installed. Apple offers an iLife "uptodate" program where you can order the update for a nominal fee. ($6.99) The problem is... Apple has not accepted the receipt i printed from Amazon because it does not include a part number. Amazon customer service has yet to provide me with a solution...

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.

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.

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.

So, a new Macbook Pro? Probably not. I think this one fits the older-ish models (2011 is the one I've got and it fits perfectly). I think the newest MBPs are a bit thinner...

Why do you say that? It is the 13.3 inch Retina Display MacBook Pro. There actually is NO newer version out there than this. Unless you are talking about the upgraded Ram or processor? This is the "Newest" Version of this particular combination of RAM, Processor, and Storage.

No clue but the base MacBook Pro model isn't being sold by Amazon.com anymore, its being sold by another store through Amazon. So not rebate on this model right now. I'm so mad! I left for work at 4 and it had the rebate, I come home and nothing!
