I justed received my MBP 15" 2.2Ghz on Amazon and it had Snow Leopard. Also, there were OS install DVDs included. I had the option to dload for free OS X Lion thru the APP store which I wont upgrade because I'm hearing that there's a lot of bugs, CPU running hot, low battery life, and slow HD access times.

When I upgraded my iMac to OS X Lions, the start up, shut down, and SSD access time were slower than Snow Leopard. I've reinstalled SL back on to my iMac.

I hope that helps.

That is strange because I got my brothers 15" 2.2Ghz from them with Lion pre installed with new keyboard.

I think having the SL OS discs + free Lion DL is FAR superior to having Lion pre-installed.

Does not matter to me I just want to have the most up to date materials (keyboard/standard box). I am swapping out SSD with SL or Lion in it right away. Must decide I just wanna know what the 17 inches are coming with.

My 15in base shipped with Lion box and keyboard, thankfully. I love Lion but that's just my opinion.

It looks pretty good when I messed around with it. Solid system but indeed some bugs. Just wanna know for the 17 inches you guys heard anything?

Agree. wish my comp. came that way. Though it seems having lion pre-installed is causing far less issues than others are having.

Let us know when you get it please!
 
Anyone else? I get my 17 inch on Tuesday so I will know soon! I am a bit disappointed with all of this Sata 3 negativity dealing with the 17" macbook pro. Hopefully the SSD I ordered will work just fine and I will not have to return it.
