I just received a Mac Air for Christmas 2011. It came from Best Buy, with OS X 10.6.5. Why did it not come with the most recent OS X version? Now I have to buy an upgrade? thank you.
MacBook Air
The MacBook Air is probably the 2010 version and not the 2011.
I am pretty sure you are entitled to a free upgrade, check out this :
That's because Best Buy has items in stock which didn't recently leave the factory.
How do I find out my model number? I looked under "About this Mac" but it only has the Model Identifier which is apparently not the same thing.
Thank you!
Melinda,
All 2011 model MBairs came preinstalled with Lion and won't even run SL (10.6.x). Their model identifiers are
MacBookAir4,1 and MacBookAir4,2.
You probably have a 2010 model with the model identifier of MacbookAir3,1 or MacbookAir3,2.
Regards,
Captfred
why did my new mac air come with OS x 10.6.5 and not 10.7.2?
