As the title says, if you bought a custom MBP (such as a 200 GB 7200 HD and a Hi-Res Screen) at the online apple store (store.apple.com)...

does it come preinstalled with Leopard?

Does the restore DVD's have Leopard?

and did they ever update the MBP desktop w/ Leopard on the shipping box?

Congrats. Looks like you're one of the first few person who received a new MBP with leopard preinstalled.

Mine came last week with Tiger.
 
wow - thanks for that. i'm finding it really weird working my way around it. my installation disk hasn't got the bootcamp folder - when i do a go to folder search in finder as recommended on the apple support site, it says it doesnt exist on the install disk. can it be downloaded anywhere? or do i ring them tomorrow...?

i got an educational discount on the macbook and applecare - £648 all in. so it's a good deal.
 
When do you think they'll change the pictures in the box.

It still has it with the Tiger desktop.
 
how much space does it takes up when Leopard & iLife 08 is preinstalled (in gigabytes - GB)?


Hey Cybergypsy (or anyone), could you post a pic of the updated MBP box w/ the loepard desktop? thanks..

Do a search in the forum. There are at least 6 threads that describe where to find this on the install disk, because for some reason it was left off the hard drive.
 
i had to reinstall leopard from the disks in order for bootcamp to appear in the utilities folder - just for reference - as it wasn't where it was supposed to be on the dvd.

It must have been on the DVD in order for a reinstall to put it on your hard drive. If it wasn't in the (oft-cited) location, where was it?
