Snow Leopord question...might sound obvious.

Might sound like a silly question, but I'm planning on ordering a MacBookPro with Snow Leopord. Now since it was released today I got excited I could order it early. So here's my question: If I order it now, I'd get Leopord with the Snow Leopord upgrade disc. If I wait, it will come already preinstalled for me in a week or two...

so does it make a difference in like upgrade quality or something if I wait and get the preloaded one? or should I just get the disc and do it myself? I think the obvious answer might be it will make no difference between the 10 minute install I'd have to do myself if I get it now...right? or would there be a difference in space/quality or something?

As far as I know. You will get Snow Leopard either pre-installed or as a separate disc with your new Mac. You should not have to buy it at it will come with your mac in one form or another. And it's more like a one hour install and it the pre-installed version should be exactly the same as the one shipped on the DVD.

When I bought my MacBook, it came with 10.4.11 and a Leopard Drop-In Disc. I ran the drop-in disc and it upgraded it no problems at all. I then bought an iMac a good few months later that had 10.5.2 pre-installed, and I can safely say there were no difference. I would assume exactly the same would happen with Snow Leopard.

cool. sounds like it's up to when i want to buy it and if i want to spend the time upgrading it. haha. i want it now...but finances are tight so i may wait.

Personally, I would wait on it until they can work out a few kinks, but if you want, go right ahead now!
