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

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.

I just received my MacBook today, and was disappointed to find that it had tiger installed, not leopard. I was under the impression that leopard would already be in it. looks like I would have to pay another $100-plus to purchase it. If you have any luck from Amazon, please let me know.

What's going on here? Has anyone been notified that their UL80vt shipped? I sent amazon an email about this asking what is going on as I perordered under the assumption that they have the laptops ready for the 22nd. Now they don't even know when they're getting them??? Maybe I should cancel and order through another online store eh amazon?

Yes, although it may not have the latest version as this is an Early 2011 MacBook Pro.

I'd go with the old (early '08) Macbook Pro. You can get it for $1443 off Amazon, close to the price of a new Macbook. It has Firewire, and a considerably larger screen (which has made much more of a difference than I thought it would) . Also, a bigger hard drive, more powerful graphics chip, and faster cpu (though the cpu speed advantage might be offset by the Macbook's faster bus). That said, potential reliability problems are something to watch out for. Apparently nVidia has been making some faulty graphics chips, and both the old and the new Macbook Pros are potentially affected. The new Macbook might not be, I'd do some research.

I'll second this. Just chatted with someone from the apple.com, and they said a 17" MacBook Pro would arrive within a couple weeks of ordering.

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

And to add insult to injury, Amazon just sent me an e-mail with the subject line: Accessorize Your Amazon.com Apple MacBook Pro MB604LL/A 17-Inch Laptop! This e-mail contains items that Amazon recommends that I purchase as add-ons to my laptop. How wonderful! Thanks Amazon! So, here are examples of extra money I can pay you for *now*, since the add-on items are all available, to go with my new laptop which you have no idea when I'll actually have in my hands? Terrific! You guys are the best!

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...

Ivy Bridge processors are coming out in a few days. They will hit Macs in June/July.I was considering an all-in-one but I'll wait for the refresh. Who knows, I might go for a Macbook Pro instead.
