Tiger or Leapord with my MBP?

[gazfocus]

I received my Macbook pro on Friday and the box has a picutre of a MBP with the Tiger branding on it. Does this mean my MBP has Tiger installed or will it still have Leapord? (I've not opened it yet as I'm unsure whether to keep it).

Where did you get it?

Its possible it will have Leopard on, if not it will have a Leopard drop-in disk to install

If its a tiger machine there should be an Leopard upgrade disk in the box
Oh is this the one you got with the insurance claim? Could be a refurb Machine.

Yeah it's the insurance one. The date on the box says something like 2007/12/xx (xx where I can't remember what the day is). So I don't think it's a refurb machine.

Thanks

Chances are that it has Leopard preinstalled, but the only way to tell is to open the box and look for a DVD.

I bought my MBP almost a month ago from Apple. It showed Tiger on the box, just like yours. When I opened it, it had Tiger installed with a Leopard upgrade DVD. I just had to upgrade it to Leopard on my own.

If you got it from Apple and it doesn't have a Leopard DVD (for some reason) then just call Apple and I'm sure they will send you one.

It came direct from my insurance company (but I do know they had to specifically order it in because when they told me they were replacing my powerbook, they said they had to wait for Apple notebooks to be delivered).

Open it and find out. No offense but whats the point in asking us when you can just look for yourself? Guys! Is my t-shirt grey or black today?

Edit: OK, that sounds really snarky. Sorry about that. I'll leave it there but it was unduly harsh. Apologies.

Hi. While I understand where you're coming from, you need to know why I haven't opened it. I am considering selling it to buy a new MBP when they come out. I will get more for it in a sealed box that if I had opened it, and that's why I've not opened it.

Ah! I see. Fair enough.

What do you mean you would wait?

wait to open it and see if there was an update of the MBP

If you are going to sell it, more than likely, the person buying will want to know if it has Leopard installed or in the box.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I'm also thinking I might advertise it as having Leapord and if the buyer finds it hasn't, I'll pay for the up-to-date upgrade which is only £5.95
