RobbieS Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 To some, this might sound incredibly stupid, but i am no 'mac genius'. In fact, i am really only familiar with windows. I tried the whole osx86, but my toshiba laptop always failed to install. (Damn x200 chipset!!) So now I have decided to fork over the 1099 and buy myself a well deserved MacBook. However, I dont know what to do. I am under the impression the Leopard will be released this october. So should i wait to buy the laptop? will it come pre-installed on all macbooks at a certain date? If I buy the computer now, will i get Leopard for a extreme discount? I bought the iPhone on iDay, i like the idea of the $100 rebate, which will pay the tax on my new macbook, but now im a little skeptical of jumping to a macbook now. Any helpful knowledge will be much appreciated... -Robbie. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63607-should-i-wait/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jglavin Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 When we bought an ibook just before Tiger came out the guy at the store gave us a coupon and when tiger came out we just sent it in and got a free upgrade CD. Granted, to restore the computer you need to first reinstall 10.3 then upgrade it, but still, it was a free upgrade. It was about a month before the release when we bought the laptop. Might as well wait unless you really need it now... save a few hundred bucks in the meantime and grab an upgraded model...

MACaroni Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I resently went to the Apple store and asked the guy behind the counter if Apple is giving any discount on Leo when I bought a new iMac with Tiger.....He told me that Apple recently stoped giving coupons or free upgrades!!! So my advise! Wait to Leopard is released!!!!! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63607-should-i-wait/#findComment-450915 Share on other sites More sharing options...
