2011 Macbook Pro 17" 2.3Ghz CTO shipped with Lion?

[df2gadgetman]

This evening I traded my 2011 Macbook Pro 15" 2.2Ghz 750Gb HD for a 2011 Macbook Pro 17" 2.3Ghz 256Gb SSD at the Apple Store. They didnt have my Custom to Order specs on hand so I had to order it online from the Apple Store. Are the CTOs being shipped pre-loaded with OS X Lion?

If that's the case, can I use Bootcamp and load Snow Leopard on a partition as one of the boot up options?

Thanks!
Darren

If you ordered it yesterday or today your most likely getting Lion pre-installed.CTO options are getting lion

It will more than likely have Lion pre-installed. I ordered a CTO Macbook Pro two weeks ago and it came with Lion.

Thanks. I figured that it would have Lion loaded because it's coming straight from Apple.

Yes, from the 15" to 17" 2.3Ghz and 256Gb SSD. I'm using a 256Gb SSD on my iMac. I didnt want to hassle with the problems that OP are having using a 3rd party SSD and TRIMs arguments. I will just stick with the OEM SSDs.
