Ask Jacob
Is Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard still available?
Monday, May 24, 2010 / G5, Mac OS X, PowerMac, Software Update
Jacob,
I have a Power Mac PC G5 but 10.3.9 and I need an upgrade to 10.5.
It would be nice to find a copy of Leopard but no one has them or it costs an arm and a leg. I love my Mac and just want to upgrade but others have told me to just buy a Mac Mini and have everything I need without purchasing the upgraded software for my machine. What say ye Jacob? What is a person to do?
Thanks,
- Terri
When 10.6 was released without Power PC Mac support I was recommending that everyone grab 10.5 before it was gone for good. At this point your observation about 10.5 Leopard is correct and the advice to get a Mac Mini is probably good advice.
I have to say that I love may Mac Mini and think it is a good choice for most users looking for a desktop system. We regularly have used Intel Mac minis in stock is you’re interested in keeping costs down.
