  • will new laptops ship with Snow Leopard right away ?

    Posted by Bill Willins on August 25, 2009 at 2:08 am

    I’m buying a new laptop next week , and am wondering if all MacBook Pro’s will ship loaded with Snow Leopard after Friday ? Somebody at Apple told me that they will clear out existing inventory with Tiger first before all laptops will ship with Snow Leopard . Can this be true ? How do these OS transitions really work ? Thanks BW

    hello…

    if you have a laptop shipped to you prior to snow leopard being released, you’ll get tiger. if the laptop has been on the shelf w/ tiger on it but snow leopard is out, they’ll likely either send you a coupon to upgrade or a disc will come with the laptop, i’d assume…

    Apple has not sold a computer with tiger on it in almost 2 years. All current computers have Leopard. After friday they will include a copy of Snow Leopard.

    There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
    Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!

    My friend was able to call up Apple and order a new Macbook Pro with Snow leopard pre-installed for Friday. There is no online ability for this though.
