Question re upgrading

[Pammykins]

Hi I am getting a Macbook Pro. I have always used Windows for years but I have an iPhone and am leaning more to Macbook. Anyway, my question.

I am purchasing the 2.53Ghz 15" and I also want to get Mac Box Set. I very new to all this but do I need the Snow Leopard with a new Macbook Pro or is it just for an old Macbook for upgrading? Tks for your help

You do not need to buy any Snow Leopard discs. The operating system comes pre-installed and also on restore discs inside the box with your new Mac should you need to reinstall the operating system.

New Macs come with Snow Leopard (since 9/2009) and iLife. You can purchase iWork for 79 USD I think. No need for the Mac Box Set.
