If I get a Macbook and I dont have leopard installed, will it ask me if i want to install the upgrade thingy when the time is right? Im pretty much a noob about macbooks. Please help. would be alot of help.
BestBuy seems to have sales on Mac's on and off, but I strongly advise you to buy from the Official Apple Store. -Guided
Yeah my bestbuy is too small to carry macs. :/ so i already planed buying from apple.com. maybe a refurbished one..
buy from apple do not purchase a referbished model though they will crash and fail do to cheap repair jobs
Leopard isn't released yet, but yes, you should be able to upgrade when it is released. Some older machines might not support it (think pre-2001) but everything past that should be able to, especially a brand new Macbook. Looks to be a really awesome OS but I have heard (as expected) there are lots of bugs in the beta version that they're fixing before the official release.
mac os x leopard system requirements g4/g5/intel based processor 1 gig of ram 15 gig's free hard drive space for the g4 installation you need a 800 mhz g4 or faster no earlier models are supported g3/gray tower/blue and white tower.
Dunno if I am to late. Hopefully not. But get someone who is a student, and use their student ID to order the comp. Then you can save 200ish on macbook. (not sure of percentage, but I saved 200 ish on the black mac book 2000$ bill)
The cheapest place to get any Mac computer is from Mac's Refurbished website which you should be able to find on Mac's website. These refurbished computers are generally 200 to 300 dollars cheaper and come directly from Apple so you will have some assurance of what you are buying and what you are getting, shipping is free. If you are a student enrolled somewhere, you will be able to apply for a student price but I'm not sure if it would apply to refurbished units or not. Check their website out and decide which way you want to go. The next place I'd check out is eComElectronics.com as they have the lowest prices I've seen from a retailer.
@tabletpc actually you are very mistaken.. thats not always the answer My first macbook Pro was refurbished and it was perfect and then when the new ones came out I sold it and bought the new one.. Best place to get a cheap one though honestly in the us is Craigslist.com check that out in your local area youd be amazed at what you can find.
