Macbook? Wait, or Buy?

May 15, 2007 7:01AM PDT

All right you Apple fans. I'm sure everyone has seen the new updated MacBooks and I myself love them. But from rumours I've heard, Apple may relase a new laptop with the new processors and hard drives. Is all this worth it the wait or should I buy the new ones know. Also, if I buy from Apple, instead of Amazon before Leopard is relased, will they give me a free upgrade. Thanks everyone

You're following the rumors.

For the MacBook that's over so you might be thinking of possible distancing of the MacBook Pro series. The bet is on for Santa Rosa there. As to the OS, good luck.

New Macs
May 15, 2007 10:57AM PDT

What do you mean it's "over" the Macbook???? I'm just thinking here,as this will be my first laptop and it may carry some Landscape Design software, as this is what I want to major in. Plus, with a new redesign on the MacBook Pros (rumor). From what Apple Insider is saying sometime this year, Apple will have new Macbook Pros with the LED backlight and the Santa Rosa processors. And the new ultra portable Mac Apple is supposed to be relasing late '07, early '08. I have an Uncle that works for Intel. I'm going to call him up later tonight and ask about these new processors. I'll let you know what he says, as he probaly helped design it.

If you go to apple.com today you can see the new MacBook release. So that's done and over till many months from now.

Are you thinking about the Pro?

The Pro will be updated any day now.

The MacBook was just updated (yesterday?) and why I wrote it's over.

Be sure to note EXACTLY which model we are talking about so I don't mislead you.

To go Pro, or not to go Pro??
May 16, 2007 7:11AM PDT

I'm still debating the Pro model, as I will have to talk this designer thing over with my Dad, and see where I can get it and how much. If I don't go with the pro model, should I stick with the MacBook, or just go all in with the Pro. Thanks
