leopard in early '08 macbook pro: do you have to install the leapord cd on your macbook pro for yourself or does it come pre-installed?

It is pre-installed. They send the sotware on two discs for future use if needed.

Just had a report that a new Macbook Pro with Mavericks saw it as read only. Was quick formatted with NTFS/4096 just minutes earlier. Works fine in Win 8.1.

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.

If your systems match or super exceed the system requirements stated below, then both of your mac machines will more than likely run the new Leopard Operating System. I hope this post helps MAC OS X Leopard System Requirements:  Processor must be any Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 (at 867 MHz or faster)  DVD drive (for installation of the operating system)  Built-in FireWire  At least 512 MB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended for development purposes)  A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card  At least 9 GB of disk space available

Yes I have all Mac computers the MacBook Pro and the iMac desktop and I'm having no problem with the software! I don't know what system uses Maverick but if you are talking Mac Lion OS there are no problems.

I rec'd my iMac 11/6 and it still had Tiger installed. I ordered the $10 + tax upgrade from Apple and it arrived within a few days. Installation took about 90 min. and was very easy. However, if I had it to do over I might stick with the Tiger system a little longer. The reason is Tiger being a mature OS is virtually bug free, where as the brand new leopard will have some bugs to work. Therefore, I would suggest ordering iMac with Tiger and wait a few weeks to order the grade. By then Apple should have fixes in place for a problems that may arrise.

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.

Lion was introduced in 2011, Mountain Lion 2012, Mavericks 2013, and this year Yosemite. but the upgrade to Mavericks is completely free if the laptop hasn't already been upgraded

yes! I use it quite often and yes you need the mac version. It's also retina ready too so make sure you actually BUY photoshop so you can upgrade it so it's retina ready since it's kind of a new update.

This says it is previously installed with OSX Snow leopard, Apple said since it was a 10.7 version it was OSX lion - how can you tell?

Its maverick however my mac came with Mountain Lion and I upgraded it for free from apple store. Also apple devices have online recovery stored in the mainboard so even if you remove the OEM hard disk you can still download the OEM from apple online

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!

I believe I was on Lion or Mountain Lion when I purchased it and put it on my mac. I have recently upgraded to Mavericks and still have access to iDVD. So I don't think you will have a problem.

I have Mavericks OS 10.9.4 and it works fine. I don't know how far back it goes. The box it came in was destroyed in our earthquake so I don't have the Mac specs handy, but I would guess it might go back as far as Snow Leopard, maybe earlier, but that is just a guess. Is it not supplied with the sales specs for the product? Sorry, I don't have more info handy at this time. I do have to say that I have moved on to Rosetta Stone. They have a terrific sale (50% and I bought the full program Levels I-V for about $250. Don't know if it's still on, but I received it just before the quake. Now that Our house is about restored, I'm getting ready to load it up.

Upon purchasing my computer, the specs show "Mac OS X v10.5.6" as my OS. So, I am wondering if there is some information that is screwed up. All I know is my computer came with Snow Leopard on it, and I upgraded it to Mavericks. Let me find the seller of my Mac. I will forward that information to you. They may be able to help you better than I. Upon searching for the seller of my computer, I didn't seem to locate anything other than their name: The Mac Toy Store. I am pretty sure you can Google the name and find their contact information. They were super helpful throughout my purchase. Good luck!!!

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).

Yes. I purchased a Late-2011 model 17" from Amazon a few months ago. Even though it had Mavericks on it when it arrived, it was a Mavericks upgrade rather than a newly installed Mavericks. The major difference between the two is that upgraded Mavericks may or may not be able to enable FileVault disk encryption. Go to the Apple website and download and burn an install DVD for Yosemite and do a clean format and install. You get all the features of Yosemite and it runs well on this unit. Forget about USB 3.0 on this model. But the good thing is that is has Firewire 800 if you still have those. I'm running Yosemite with full disk encryption--no problems. Yes.
