Question

Is it worth waiting?

Sep 20, 2011 6:15AM PDT

In about a year or so I'm going to require a mac laptop or macbook however I need a new laptop now as the battery of my pc is dying quickly. The question is, is there a point in waiting a whole year to buy a mac and just buy a new battery or should I just buy a mac now. I would like to get the newest mac so will there be a new macbook in the next year?

There will be a speed bumpup any day now so you might be just a week or so away from getting the newest model.

And just so you know

And just so you know, the MacBook has been killed off. So, if you're looking at the white plastic MacBook, you may as well buy now, because what's out there is all there ever will be. The new MacBook Airs have basically taken the place of the MacBook, and of course the MacBook Pro is still around.
