Any predictions when a new MacBook might come out? Dont want to buy and then after 2 weeks a new one pops up and Im left with an OBSOLETE laptop.

Do Macs really become OBSOLETE as soon as the next one comes out?
Thats a bit shit.

OBSOLETE is harsh terminology, but the fact is that before any laptop (or other electronic "entertainment" item for that matter) comes on the market its successor is already going through testing and its successor's successor is undergoing development.
fact.

(Oct 23 07, 04:08)Don't be pathetic in your sarcasm, it's obviously better to wait two weeks and choose from a wider selection of (newer) models than buy a technically dated laptop for the same price. It's not fashion that gets reinvented every few years, technology is advancing all the time.
Speaking of fashion, MB Pro's cover is so 2003 :)

there, have a looky...
when i bought mine i KNEW a new one was coming, but i really needed it nonetheless so i bought it. 2 weeks later the new and improved version came out. oh well, that's life. if you're always thinking of waiting before the next best thing comes out, then you'll never get it. I've been waiting to get a digital camera for almost 3 yrs! hahahahaha but also not urgent so...

"it's obviously better to wait two weeks and choose from a wider selection of (newer) models than buy a technically dated laptop for the same price"
course it is you bell end, doesn't make the older model OBSOLETE though does it?

(Oct 23 07, 07:32)Of course not, what it does is make it a worse deal and give you lower spec for the same price. The resell value of your hardware is considerably lower than it would've been had you waited 8 days.
We are talking about a clear case of "about to be updated", I'm not saying "always wait for the new model".suddenly..
