when I buy  a macbook pro now , will it have mac os x lion on it?

It would depend on when it was produced, eg if it has been sitting in a store for months it maybe loaded with the older operating system, whereas if it is newly produced it should come with lion on it.

  • If I buy a MacBook Pro now will it update to the new Yosemite in the fall?

    If I buy a MacBook Pro now, will it update to the new Yosemite software in the fall?

    If you purchase a brand new model, yes. If you purchase an older one, it depends on what the system requirements for Yosemite are, which aren’t publicly available.

  • If I buy a MacBook pro now, what will happen with it once the Lion OS makes it's appearance? Will I need to buy a new one again?

    If I buy a MacBook pro now, what will happen with it once the Lion OS makes it's appearance? Will I need to buy a new one again?

    Lion will run on most Intel machines. It will not run on the following machines:
    MacBook Pro (sold before October 2006)
    MacBook (sold before November 2006)
    Mac Mini (sold before August 2007)
    iMac (sold before September 2006)
    It requires an Intel Core 2 Duo (or later CPU). Those machines listed above were all Intel Core Duo machines and with the exception of one of the Mac Minis, an Intel Core Solo. So we're talking 4+ year old machines. I have not tested Lion on a machine with anything less than 2GB of RAM.
    Wikipedia has a pretty good public summation of what's known so far and it's quite accurate - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Lion
    The biggest thing of note so far is that you cannot install/run Rosetta. Which maybe problematic for some users.

  • If I buy a MacBook Pro Now...

    If I buy a MacBook Pro now, OS X Lion is free, can I download free, or I have to pay for it? Please answer my question.

    If the MBP does Not come with Lion Installed you would go Here to get it for Free...

    AFAIK, there is no suich thing. There is no listing for iLife in Apple's online store. iPhoto, GarageBand & iMovie can only be obtained through the Mac app store.

  • When you buy a macbook pro does it come with all the software you need

    when i purchase a macbook pro with retina display. will it come with all the software i need

    Hi logan_logan,
    Probably all depends on your past experience, but I'm getting a new Macbook Air next week, and I will be purchasing Microsoft Office. I have been using Word and Excel for years, and know all of the tricks, bells, and whistles, so just really don't want to go through a major learning curve to figure out how to use a new word processing and spreadsheet processing system.
    I've had a little experience with Pages on my iPad (which I know is not even a close comparison to what is on the Mac), but I'm just more comfortable with Word.
    So, I'd say depends on whether you want something that you are comfortable with, or something that is a new adventure! What's your pleasure?

  • If I buy a new MBP now will it have Leopard or Tiger OS installed?

    I intend to buy a new Mac computer within the next few weeks, probably a Macbook Pro. Are all new Macs shipping with OSX Leopard pre installed or do you have to run the installation DVD? Given the problems there seem to be with the installations for many people I would prefer not to have to deal with all of that on a brand new straight from the box computer. Would it be better to wait a while before buying until the new system settles down and/or bug fixes have been issued.

    The installation itself went fine - took about 30 to 45 minutes. The only slight oddity was that I was unable to uninstall the Microsoft Office Test Drive using the Microsoft uninstaller - the uninstaller couldn't find anything to uninstall. In the end I had to use AppZapper to get rid of the files.

  • Should I buy a MacBook Pro now (Jan 2012) considering that a refresh of the MacBook Pro line is imminent? I will be buying the most basic 13 inch MBP and its taken me quite sometime to save up (almost a year!)

    I'm not very well off and although I love MacBooks they aren't cheap either, I've been saving up for a long time now and I don't want to regret it if nvidia or ati graphic cards make an appearance in the new macbook pro 13 basics. Advise please!

    While you are waiting for the new models to come out you could of been using the one you bought tomorrow all that time.
    When Dell, HP, Toshiba, Sony, Apple, Whoever comes out with new models they will have different thing in them. Faster lower powered CPUs better graphic faster hard drives or SSDs more memory and maybe a better operating system.
    So why not wait 1-2-3-4 years. By then the thing may even wash your back and feet for you.
    And they wiil be selling at a premium. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

  • Buy new Macbook Pro now or wait until 2015

    Hi!
    I'm currently trying to decide between buying a new Macbook Pro 15" right now, or waiting for any possible releases next year.
    I'm totally dependent upon my laptop for both school and work. I heavily use programs such as Photoshop, Xcode, and others on an everyday basis. My current laptop is a summer '09 unibody Macbook Pro 13" (the cheapest version), with upgraded aftermarket storage and ram (two years ago). It works surprisingly well, and I could probably go on living perfectly fine with it. However, I find myself every day swearing over how annoyed I am by it. I often resort to turning it off and back on due to it freezing or lagging. But by all means, I can live with it.
    I was planning on buying a new Mac last winter, but I decided to wait for a possible upgrade this summer (2014). But when that was released I couldn't buy it until September because I was abroad. When I finally got back, I reluctantly decided to wait for a larger upgrade this October (heard something about Broadwell processors), but that didn't come.
    I figured since I waited that long, I might as well just wait a bit longer (until January). However yesterday my charger stopped working (Apple gave me a new one free of charge), and I realized how fragile and old my laptop is. I better trade it in before anything serious goes wrong.
    So now I'm trying to decided whether I should wait for a possible upgrade or buy a new one now. I don't think whatever upgrade is coming will be large enough for it to be worth it, but I just don't wanna splurge $2500 on a new mcbp if it's gonna be outdated soon. When I'm buying something I like it to be just after it was released, to avoid situations where I'm left with a brand new outdated product.
    I'm scared that if I buy it now I will regret it if a new version comes out soon. However, I'm scared that if I don't buy it now I'll end up waiting indefinitely (or just until next summer).
    It'd be stupid of me to waste time now using my old Mac when I'm clearly in need of a new one. But again, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if they release a new major update in early 2015.
    So hopefully someone understands my problem. My question is: what do you guys think is the right thing to do? What updates can we expect to see to the Macbook Pro line, and when can we expect to see them? Are we talking about minor upgrades like this past summer, or are we talking massive design changes, lighter and thinner body, better screen and performance? And would we see this in early (Q1, Q2) 2015 or as late as 2016? I know you can't give any definite answers, but at least you can make better assumptions than me haha.
    Thanks!

    We don't know. We have no more insight into Apple's plans for 2015 than you do. Making your decisions for you is not the purpose of these forums, so please do your own research and make your own decisions. If you have a technical problem with an Apple product then that is a proper use of these forums.

  • Shall I buy a macbook pro now or wait until June 2013?

    I recently fried my 2009 macbook pro with a big cup of the all over the keyboard!
    Now I need to buy a new one, I was oriented towards the 2.5GHz, 13", 8GB RAM and 500 GB, non-retina ;I don't need the retina).
    What do you guys think? Are the new models going to have a great performance improvement versus these old models?
    I mainly use the macbook for video editing and web design, not too much Photoshop. What do you suggest me to do? wait or buy? and if buy, shall I go with the 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 model?
    Please keep in mind that I don't buy with the idea of reselling it some day in rhe future..
    Thank you all for your kind feedback!
    Cheers,
    matt

    If you have a a need for a MBP and the current ones suit you, purchase one.  No one knows, but Apple, when the next MBP generation will be released nor what specifications will be incorporated in them.  To discuss such matters is one of a speculative nature and the Terms of Use of this forum prohibit such.

  • If i order a macbook pro now will it comes with mountain lion?

    i'm thinking of ordering a new macbook pro, just wondering if it will come with the new mountain lion os?

    Note, make sure all your software is Mountain Lion compatible according to yesterday's or later reports before purchasing a machine with Mountain Lion included.  You may not be able to downgrade to Lion depending on if the hardware was updated for a new release of the machine post yesterday's date.

  • I want to install hybrid drive in Macbook pro. I bought my Mac book with lion and am now running mountain lion. I was told I needed install disk to set up new drive before restoring from my time capsule.Is this correct and if so how do I get disk osx10?

    I purchased a Mac book Pro in Aug 2012 with lion and have upgraded to mountain lion. I currently am looking to install the segate 750 gig hybrid drive. I watching video I shows me needing a OSX 10 disk to boot off of when the new disk is in and the use time capsule to restore system from back up drive to new hybrid. Hope I got this correct so far. that being said my Mac Book did not come with a disk therefore is one available, when I get to point of restoring from back up with it be the same mountain lion system I had. Sorr if this sounds redudant.. Thank you in advance

    Connect the new hybrid drive to your MBP.  Start up your MBP holding the OPTION key, the two HDD icons will appear.  Select the 'restore' icon on the right.  When you get to the menu where you have 4 options, select Disk Utility.  Format the drive and then you can use the option of restoring it from Time Machine.
    Ciao.
