im thinking whether or not going to lowyat on the 26th to get the macbook pro ..dunno whether they have new stock on that day

Hard to say. Why don't you give the store a call?

i personally dun think that MBP on that day will preloaded with Leopard.
after all, it still come with Tiger
and if u want to buy it, i'll suggest wait at least 1 mont after leopard released.

correct if i'm wrong!

Actually, if i am right. Installing leopard is just breeze.
The installation is just putting the dvd inside while you are using tiger and press install.
and there you go. it works just like an update. after an hour or two. and there you go. with all your documents inside and your application and settings there. The only difference is that you are now using leopard.

Of course you might want to backup your tiger with all your apps. Just use CCC, to clone to other hard disk.

*in the ads, it's said that even grade student can do it.

guys, who ever bought machine from 1st oct, u can get Mac OS X with RM 39 only

for my company, we do it this way:
for the machine which is not preloaded with Mac OS X leapord, we will minus RM 39 from the machine price. Then we will give u a copy of PDF application form.
All u needed to do is print it out and fill in every detials include your credit card number.
then u can fax to apple singapore to redeem the OEM OS.
they will send it to your home.


Updated with u guys,
all 12 outlet in malaysia (include CG, Machine.........) will launch Mac OS X leapard internationally.
our store will close at 5pm on friday, then reopen at 6pm.
at that time, all the machine will be running with 10.5.1 OS.

So if it isnt, the price will minus RM 39 then u redeem from apple singapore by faxing to information to term, and they will charge u RM 39 from your credit card.

but u actually own 2 OS by this way!
cool rite!

Let's say macbook pro, RM 7499

RM 7499 - RM 39(becuase not Mac OS 10.5 preloaded) + RM 39 (Charge from Apple in order for them to send u the copy to your home) = RM7499

============================

Yesterday I went to MacStudio in Low Yat Plaza, I've asked when will they release Leopard. The guy told me it's on 26th. But if we are buying Mac on that day, it will comes with Tiger. They will have Leopard OS installed on the Mac for the new stock that will come on that day.

I wanted to get an iMac, the guy said the iMac with Tiger still left around 10 stocks, if the 10 stocks finish selling, then it will start selling with Leopard. As for MacBook Pro and others, you guys need to give a call to the stores.

call them just now told me they have stock for mackbook pro. Already reserve 1 unit from them but it is install with Tiger n need to sent a form to mac to get the Leopard

So, update us on 26th.

For those who wants the Leopard retail, it's available at Machines at 6PM on 26th of October 2007. (refer to my previous post).

www.applemalaysia.com.my has the Leopard release date countdown, so it's really arriving on 26th.

Ok

Yeah, but dunno whether it is pre-install with tiger or leopard

The retail confirmed to be available on 26th.

The current Macs are with Tiger and the Macs with Leopard will be arriving on 26th too. So, it obviously they need to clear the old stocks Mac that with Tiger.

That's what I mean.

Or maybe some stores will offer you a different offer.

A staff in MacStudio told me if I get my Mac today with Tiger, he will give me a burned DVD of the Leopard upgrade for me for free. So..think again if you're interested with the "burned DVD".

this is what he told me also ..a burn dvd for me at the moment until i place my order for leopard for rm 39

Ohhh...but he offers me free instead.

no worried, u can fax your detial to apple singapore to redeem Mac os x leapard.
