Do all Macbook Pro computers come with HDCP components?

On my laptop, when I attempt to purchase an HD movie, it says that I cannot, because I do not have HDCP components. I've been in the market for a new computer for a while -- my trackpad is practically broken, two of my USB ports do not function, and the computer simply will not charge, so I have to keep it plugged in at all times for it to be functional. I am not very fond of the Macbook Air (not enough space) or the iMac (much too large) and, thus, have narrowed my Apple-related choices down to the Macbook Pro.
I was wondering if all Macbook Pro computers (including the Retina display computers) come with HDCP components, because I only plan on purchasing one if I'll be able to purchase and play HD movies from the iTunes store.
Thanks in advance for your help!

"A display that supports HDCP with a screen resolution of 1280 x 800 or higher."
But how do I know if the screen supports HDCP? Or is it saying that all computer screens with a resolution of 1280 x 800 or higher support it?

Does macbook air computers come with antivirus protection?

I bought a mac book air 9/2013. Do macbook air computers come with antivirus protection?

Do macbook air computers come with antivirus protection?
Its operating system does. OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

Can a New MacBook Pro that comes with 10.7 run 10.6?

Well its been a long time visiting the discussions for me, just after the new format, and I still hate it and it does seem painfully slow, but have a question. Now to figure out How to Post it.
Can a New MacBook Pro that comes with 10.7 run 10.6 ? Hate losing Rosetta. Whoops, search came up with this.
Actually you can, at this time, downgrade the new MBPs to SL if you have the correct version od SL. You need at least 10.6.7 for it to work on the current run of MBPs. Once they come out with a newer, 2012, MBPs I have no idea if SL could be installed.
Guess I better hurry.
Anyone disagree? It use to be you would get a msg saying No. But from looking I see some places in the states selling them with 10.6 installed and a free upgrade to 10.7. Not that option here.
So where is that enter key to post

Then what is this?
MBP Model 8.2 i7 2.2 SMC version 1.69f3.
Really I don't lie and I am getting tired of people calling me a lier.
Thanks.
I'm reluctant to wade into this but I noticed that if Mactracker is to be believed, the Early and Late MacBook Pro have the same Model Identifier, which would suggest that the SL installer for the Early MBP might see the Late MBP, which came with Lion, as close enough for government work. While the SL installer wouldn't necessarily be 100% suitable for the Lion Machine and probably wouldn't allow installing over the existing Lion partition, I can imagine it working on a clean partition or external USB or Firewire drive. A 10.6.8 combo updater could then configure the SL installation for the MBP it's actually on.

Any idea when the MacBook Pro will come with the new OSX Lion?

Does anyone have a clue as to when the MacBook Pro will come installed with the new OSX Lion? In the market for a new Mac laptop but would prefer waiting for the Pro to come with the new system alreayd installed.
Thanks

If you order on-line it will ship with Lion.
Local retail stores vary according to their inventory, more than likely the have Lion ready MBP. Call and ask.

Macbook Pro to come with OS X Lion in July

I purchased the macbook pro today and I hear that the os x lion will come out in july.
In july will the pro's come preinstalled with lion?
Since I purchased mine recently would I be able to upgrade for free?
Or do all users have to pay for the lion upgrade - including new customers.
I'm asking this because I think I'll just return the pro and wait for lion to come out next month if it comes preinstalled - save myself $30.

Every Apple international website followed by /macosx/uptodate/ in the link, offers the special upgrade pricing to Lion that is for purchased machines after Lion's announcement at WWDC in June. Below are a couple examples of said link

Does New MacBook Pro 15" Come With 2 Operating Systems?

I apologize for my ignorance, I haven't used a Mac in some time and my knowledge of computers is very limited.
I just bought a new MacBook Pro 15" model and it came with 3 disks. Besides the "Applications Install DVD", one of the other disks says "Mac OS Install DVD" and the other one says "Mac OS X Snow Leopard".
Am I to believe that this laptop came with 2 operating systems, or two versions of the same system, and if so, why?
I'm thinking Snow Leopard is the latest version and if that's the case, why would they even include the other one?
I'm so confused, lol.
Thanks so much in advance and again, please pardon my ignorance.

I did some research and I guess when I need it, I'll be asked to download it.
Is this right?
yes.
One more question, please. Can I give the Snow Leopard disk to my daughter to install on her Mac, or is that taboo?
if you bought a regular SL DVd then this is not allowed. you can buy a family pack and use it on up to 5 computers in the same household.
Thanks again you guys.

Im from Colombia and I want to buy a MacBook Pro, it comes with phothoshop and stuffs like that? or im gonna need to but it separately?

You could use a Windows 7 Pro version (or better version) PC and test CS2 for free to see if it's enough for what you need.
Also works on older used Mac's running OS X 10.6

If it's right for you then by all means pull the trigger on the new MacBook Pro and buy CS6.

Why did my Macbook pro not come with a Lion CD or USB?

I have a MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011 model with lion installed. The mac came with lion. But why did my mac not come with a CD or USB for lion?

No Mac comes with a DVD or USB for Lion, everything is done online now. For those who absolutely must have a USB you can buy Lion on a USB drive for $70 or thereabouts.
If you're concerned about drive repair and re-installing Lion, these articles may be of interest:

My macbook pro didnt come with an install disk?

my macbook pro 15inch did not come with an install disk? what should i do?

Macs which come with 10.7 preinstalled don't include install disks. Everything you need is either on Lion's recovery drive or the web.

Macbook pro didnt come with CD

i have the OS X 10.8.3 version. Was it supposed to come with a CD? my box only had the laptop, charger etc, a little cloth n booklet thing. I want to reinstall garageband because it seems there are a ton of instruments missing. my only problem is, will i be able to reinstall GB after uninstalling it? also how can i uninstall it? thanks

Nope. No optical discs have been included with new Macs for over a year and a half. They are no longer necessary.
You can reinstall the version of OS X that shipped with your Mac as often as you want, even if you replace its hard disk with a completely empty one. Whatever you purchased from the App Store, including GarageBand, can also be reinstalled as often as you want, and on as many Macs as you own.
To uninstall anything you purchased from the App Store, drag its icon from the Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
To reinstall anything you purchased from the App Store, click the Purchases icon in the App Store, and download it.

Does macbook pro 13 come with an installation disk?

i just got it from amazon
but there is not operating system disk
does it come with an installation disk?

Depends on the Mac OS X version...if it is Lion, 10.7.2, no there is not an included install disk, there is a recovery partition containing a copy of the Mac OS X on the hard drive.
If it has Snow Leopard, 10.6, yes there should be an install disk.
