I have been doing some research on Macbook Pros because I was planning on purchasing one in the next few weeks. After surfing the internet for a few nights I decided to wait a while to see if they release a newly redesigned Macbook Pro. I know there has been talk about this for months now. I was expecting a new design on the last release of the ones with the Multi-Touch track pad. i was wanting to see if any of you had been researching this as well. This is all rumors and speculation but I read that Intel is coming out with a quad core mobile processor next month but it may not be in the new line of Macbook Pros due to a decrease in battery life. The other things i have come across I'm just going to link below. I just wanted to get peoples thoughts and opinions. personally i would really like to see an upgraded GPU in the new version.

I say just go with the current version. As any new product is rolled out there will be issues with it, so you'll have to wait for those to be fixed and by that time a newer version will be rumored. It's a never ending loop. Take the plunge.

^ whate he said. if you want one get it now. There'll always be something new and great "coming out in a month or two"

I am thinking about getting a MBP soon but like you, I'm not sure if I should wait for the new one to come out.

If anything it's gonna be obsolete in like 6 months.

i'm looking to buy one in the next couple weeks as well. like benderossa said up there: don't wait. buy now. endless product updates scheduled always. plus if you are a "student" you get a free ipod touch/nano right now.

I heard that it'll be cum resistent

you should definitely wait until they perfect it. Much like my grandfather and color television. He waited for them to "get it right" before buying one - he purchased his first color TV in 1983.

Apparently MacBook Pro has just been arrested on charges of assaulting his mother and sister.

buyer's guide says neutral/ mid cycle... you're in for a long wait if you're going to hold for new product.
and as others have said, you're better off not buying the first round of any redesigns.
- yea im not looking to get the latest thing but i just didn't want to end up buying just as new stuff was coming outhandsomeboy

all signs point to apple working on some sort of multi-touch tablet.
- they bought a chip manufacturer
- the next rev of os x won't have new features, just performance (and multi-touch support?)
- on their financial conference call the other day, the CFO said prepare for poor returns in Q4 2008 and into 2009 due to a major product transition at the end of the year that he couldn't discuss
- apple desperately wants to beat windows 7 to the punch

wait for the new one then get the current one cheap

what is different aboutthis one is that their will be a new design all together and with a new chip set as well. It is at least waiting out till mid August just to see more rumorus I would say.
But I tend to agree that new Gen products do have issues, one can always take out applecare for 3 years though.

I wouldn't mind seeing those prices go down. The girl wants a MacBook and lower prices would certainly help me get one for her.

Yeah it's a tough decision. I know the first batch always has some issues. I'd just hate to drop over 2 grand on something that is going to be an old model. My main concern is the GPU. I feel like the one that is in the current Macbook pros is good but not great. My G4 1.3 Powerbook will have to last for a few more weeks. Thanks for all the info and opinions.

I have the latest Macbook Pro and although sooner or later to be obsolete, it still is a fantastic laptop. I haven't got anything to complain about. I'd say buy now. As D_Dot said, a never ending loop if you start the waiting game.

They're sure to be refreshed for the new school season.
