Will be macbook more expensive with leopard?

I don't know if I should bought a macbook now with tiger, when macbooks are very cheap, or when Leopard comes.
When Leopard comes, will be macbooks more expensive than now?
Thanks and sorry for my poor english.

The new operating system normally does not raise the price of the computer. I haven't seen this happen.
But no one knows if they will be more expensive, that is speculation and that is not allowed per terms of use.

  • Will my new iMac come with Leopard or Tiger?

    Hi,
    I'm going to Uni on Monday and want to finally purchase my Mac now that Leopard has been released.
    My question is: If I order my new Mac on Monday, will it come with Leopard or Tiger?
    In the online store it still states that it will come with Tiger, but maybe this has just not been updated?
    If people don't know the answer, would you happen to know an Apple contact email address or telephone number I can call (in the UK) to check prior to ordering?

    Are you sure you want to get a Mac with Leopard preloaded?
    It may actually not be compatible with some of the software you depend on, and will have no chance of being so (unless the product is updated) because Macs historically have only been able to use the operating system they ship with and newer operating systems, and we are still learning which products need updates for Leopard.
    The online store has a phone number in the upper left hand corner:

  • Why is the black MacBook more expensive?

    It seems that you could configure a white macbook to have the same exact configuration as the black one, but pay $125 less. Are people really paying $125 just for the black color??

    ... and people will pay a couple hundred dollars more more to get a CPU chip that has about 10% more processing throughput. 20% price increase for 10% processing gain.
    I waited until there were nice price cuts on the 1.83 C2D Macbook as retailers dumped them to make room to stock new SR Macbooks. In daily life, they feel about equal, but I have a bit more money in the bank. True, you get Tiger for the OS now, but it doesn't seem like it is a huge gain over Leopard. By waiting, the 1.83 C2D Macbook was actually a little less expensive than a similar notebook from Dell.
    For some people, style trumps function, and that's OK. If you're a sales rep or similar person, where you get brownie points for style, then it makes sense. Also, if you have the money and it makes you feel good, then why not...? You only live once; might as well be happy.
    PS: you could buy the cheaper machine and donate your savings to a charity.

  • Will 2008 macbook pro work with 27" cinema display?

    November macbook pro 13"
    will this work seamlessly with new cinema diaplay?
    also - how come it's not HD but 30" is? thanks.

    I am using and enjoying my 27" Cinema Display with my October 2008 MacBook Pro 5,1. The display is breathtaking and its operation with my computer is flawless. I strongly recommend that you consider getting an Apple external keyboard and Magic Trackpad to use with your MBP and Cinema Display.
    If you have a MBP 5,1 as your post indicates, it has both a 9400M and a 9600M GT GPU, not a 9200M.

  • Will a MacBook be OK with my BT wireless router?

    I have several windows PCs happily connected to the internet via a BT wireless router.
    I'm thinking of getting a MacBook which will have Airport Extreme Wi-Fi capability.
    Am I OK to assume that the MacBook will connect to the internet via my existing router? I'm assuming that as far as the MacBook's concerned 'talking' to my router at home is no different to if I sit down with it in a Wi-Fi enabled cafe somewhere.
    Or am I being hopelessly optimistic?
    I'm guessing a fair few of you guys will have dealt with the same issue.
    I'd be really grateful if anyone could advise me.
    Many Thanks.

    Update:
    Switched on my refurb-ed Macbook for the first time about ten minutes ago, connected to the internet no problem. Sweet.
    Thanks again.

  • Will my MacBook Pro come with FaceTime if I buy it from uae?

    I am going to UAE this summer and I am planning on buying a MacBook Pro 15 and a 13 inch one for my sister, I wanted to know if FaceTime would work on my MacBook Pro. I won't be using it in UAE, but I will be using it in Canada.

    FaceTime is included with the Mac OS. As far as I know the Mac OS is the same all over the world, so you should be good.

  • Does Macbook Pro comes with Leopard?

    even if you buy it in a store, on sale? The reason I ask is because I checked the website where macbooks (and other apple laptops and computers) are on sale and it says that it comes with Tiger 10.4 (which I already had bought and installed to upgrade from Panther 10.3)

    All new MacBook Pros from official Apple retail outlets, resellers and the online store have Leopard. If the model is sold new and Leopard is not pre-installed drop-in/upgrade Leopard disks are included.
    Second hand or non-Apple refurbished models etc.. may not have it installed.

  • When will CS3 be fully compatible with Leopard?

    I haven't read any definitive answers to this question.
    Adobe says when Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro is released in late Jan08: Leopard FAQ
    But the 8.1.2 update this month didn't say anything about Leopard...
    Does anyone know? We've been waiting to migrate to 10.5 for a couple of months now and CS3 is the last hold-up.

    I understand CS3 came out before Leopard. But Leopard is a whole new operating system, they give core developers like Adobe months and months to make their software workable for the new OS. Third party developers always take alphas and betas from the OS builds, do they not? Is it the requirement that Apple make each and every software piece compatible with it's OS? So, they in essence have to do the third party's developer's work?
    Further, if it's not compatible, then what grounds does Adobe have telling customers that it is. That would be a lie, then, wouldn't it? I'm just sayin. And I don't have Leopard OR CS3 yet, but I sure don't like the fact that Adobe is being pretty quiet about these issues--it takes someone some digging to figure this out, then they find engineers who are basically claiming it's not compatible, and to wait for likely 18 months until 10.6, and if I were Adobe's legal dept. I'd probably delete this post.
    As far as *everyone* having issues, it doesn't seem to be the case--I am reading several threads where many have figured it out. Maybe I'll be lucky.
    I can certainly see if Apple changed the specs (I'm not sure what this means, do they not provide seeds to you?), Adobe having a LOT to complain about. But I have not seen evidence of this other than an Adobe engineer calling the OS Buggy. Proof?
    I think Apple being quiet about it is that they don't allow their staff to blame others in blanket statements on forums in direct contradiction to what they warrant in writing the software to be compatible with. Usually things like these come from press releases or a kb. Or Steve Jobs <g>
    Buko, your blanket statement about CS3 being perfect in Tiger doesn't seem to wash. A quick look through the Apple forums and the forums here pretty much show that not to be the case. What seems to be clear is that Adobe's registration and auto update program are the problem. I won't go so far as to say they are poorly written and executed, but the scores of people who have had and continue to have numerous issues IN TIGER certainly point in that direction.
    I suppose we could blame Apple for that, too?

  • Will Laserwriters (16/600) work with Leopard?

    The title says it all.

    That Postscript level 2 printer has a Localtalk, an Ethernet (may be AAUI and require a used US$5 Transceiver to convert to RJ45) and parallel ports. There is no USB capability.
    The printer has an Ethernet port and can support either LPR/LPD (over Ethernet) or AppleTalk (over Ethernet) or Appletalk/LocalTalk (using the LocalTalk port). Unless you have some antique Macs, it does not make sense to connect with anything but Ethernet \[wiring], but the choice of whether to use LPR/LPD or AppleTalk over that wiring is up to you. They do not interfere with each other.
    All Apple-brand and most (but not all) major brands of wireless Base Station can pass AppleTalk packets. Lesser-known brands, especially those completely ignoring the Macintosh market, may not pass AppleTalk packets.
    To make it all work using AppleTalk-over-Ethernet, you may have to make sure Appletalk is turned on and assign it to the Ethernet port or the Airport port, as appropriate.

  • Hard Drives: Will my macbook take a 7200 RPM, 3.0 Gb/s drive?

    Well, I'm thinking on upgrading my hard drive in my MacBook to something like this one:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145228
    But I was wondering if my MacBook can handle it. I'm sure it would be able to take advantage of the faster 7200rpm drive (vs the 5400 in their now) but what I am really wondering is if it will read the 3.0 GB/s SATA, or if it will only read as fast as the older, 1.5 GB/s drives.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    In reality you may find it difficult to locate a notebook drive that only supports SATA 1.5 GB/s. New drives mostly support both 1.5 and 3.0. How they support both is the main issue. Some use a jumper on the drive and others may simply switch automatically via the drive's firmware. Just determine what the case is for whichever drive you purchase so you will know if you must configure the drive manually because you will want to do that before installing the drive.
    If you can afford it buy the faster drive. Regardless of what you do with your computer a faster drive will improve performance for any type of disk access.
    As for power consumption most 320 GB drives have a maximum power consumption between 2.3 and 2.9 watts. Some manufacturers are now producing so-called "green" drives with lower power consumption around 1.6 watts maximum, but these drives also have somewhat lower performance figures because they use a variable motor speed control that reduces the drive's spindle speed to conserve power.
    If you want such a drive then you need to find the manufacturer's model number that identifies a "green" drive. For example Seagate uses a "G" in the model number to distinguish it's "green" drives. Note that they also tend to be more expensive.
    Determine what drive make and model you want then search via Google for the best available prices.
    The Seagate ST9320423ASG is a 320 GB "green" notebook drive with a maximum power usage of 1.6 watts. I have no idea what they cost, but it's not likely $75. 320 GB notebook drives will likely all cost more than $75 regardless of make or model. Green drives if available will be even more expensive assuming you can find a vendor who stocks them.

  • Does the Macbook retina work with the Wacom Cintiq tablets?

    I have the original Wacom Cintiq 21". Will the MacBook Retina work with this?

    Yes - I have a 2012 MacBook Air and it works with a dual-link dvi adaptor only otherwise you'll end up with a lower resolution.
    Took a while to work out, but works very well. It's also expensive
    The Hdmi only supports 1080 and not the full 2560 x 1080. The other cables are useless.
    It also works on windows 8 using boot amp
    Hope this helps

  • Any alternative to install Lion Directly on Mac with Leopard? .. We dont have Snow Leopard in Stores now..

    I am looking for an alternative to install Lion OS on my Macbook pro running with Leopard... I checked in Stores they dont have Snow Leopard disks anymore... its a zombiee Apple had made me struck... also it dont make sense to buy Snow Leopard  for Lion upgrade, which I may not be using..
    If apple has to earn they can charge me bit more bucks... but this is total nonsense to make a OS dependent on previous version...I never saw Microsoft, Red Hat, IBM, Sun doing all this for there different environments..
    Please suggest an alternative.

    You can buy the USB Stick version of Lion http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256?mco=MjQ1MzkyMDY you won't need to update to Snow Leopard with this version.
