iLife '08? Does anyone know if the Amazon Macbook Pros ship with the new iLife '08? Thanks.

Exactly. I emailed customer service as well. They told me the computers ship with iLife '06 because that's what the product description says under the "included software" heading. This was not helpful at all, since I already knew that iLife '06 was listed in the product description. The real issue here is how recent is Amazon's stocks of the product, because the product has been recently updated, and it may be the case that they have the updated product but have not updated the product description page.It would be great if someone who has purchased a Macbook Pro from Amazon recently can verify this.

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.

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 just got my MBP. It had 10.4 Tiger but iLife 08. I ordered Leopard through Apple for ten bucks.

HI. I ordered my Macbook Pro from Amazon 8/17, and it just arrived today. I didn't even think to check to be sure that it was going to come with iLife '08, and it did not. It came with '06.
224563
It's now two and one half months later and the same question remains. Anyone knows the answer? The description still says Ilife06. Customer service told me that they would remedy the situation if it really ships with the old version.

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).

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 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.

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...

Hello Jada,The specific Macbook Pro that I am selling comes with iLife '11 which includes iMovie. You can find the Macbook Pro I am selling by copying and pasting this link and then find my seller name Techprts on the first page: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001P05NKG/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition;=used

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.

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 - http://www.amazon.com/shops/A38OB0VFIV6QC4/ref=aag_d_sh

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.

I have Mac Book Pro 2008. It is compatibel, but it did not last more than 10 days. Refund was correct and fat. though. Good luck, jaap

That one on the photo look like the New version to me. Probably a newest version will come out ? But, if you are interested in buy a Mac, it will be a good choice. If you have an Amazon store card buy it because you will get up to a year without in interest charge . That's how I bought mine. No problems so far . Good Luck !

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.

I'm assuming there's a typo here... The MacBook Pro was not released until 2006. Prior to that, Apple made a similar laptop called the PowerBook G4... which would not be compatible with this drive. All MacBook Pros, excluding the "Retina" models, will work with this drive.

It seems like Amazon received a small initial shipment and those who got in early had theirs shipped. Based on the availability from the Apple online store, it might be a month or more before Amazon may get another shipment of MBPsI checked JR.com and they have them in stock. YMMV thoughhttp://www.jr.com/apple/pe/APP_MC975LL_SL_A/

Hi Samuel. Thank you for your interest in the Macbook. The Macbook that you are inquiring about is a hi res version from early 2011. It comes with the charger and good battery. If you make the purchase and payment by 3pm EDT it will ship out the same day. Thank you for contacting Capital Remarketing Service. CRS Support

After the education discount + taxes, this macbook pro was still cheaper on amazon with prime overnight shipping than from the apple store. Hence my decision to buy from Amazon

I ordered the Mac Mini on Thursday and got it on Friday using 1 day delivery. It does have iLife 09' on it. But I just went to Apple's website and put my serial number in. I'll be getting iLife 11' for $6.99 in a couple days. They have shipped it out.

I checked out the macconnection.com site for the MacBook Pro. Price was $1815.00 after rebate, but shipping was not free, and there was sales tax of $187.00. How did you find free shipping and no tax on that site?

I suppose Amazon is offering it:Apple MacBook Pro Z0J62LL/A 15.4" Laptop (OLD VERSION)

I don't know what that means, but if you mean the NEW NEW MacBook Pro, probably not (I've jealously eyed the new MacBook pro's of friends of mine and the shape is very different). That is my expert advice, you're welcome Amazon.
