Bad time to buy. This is just the update to 45nm CPUs. The next generation chipset will be out in 6 months. That will be a good time to buy.
Unless you don't already have a Mac, then anytime is a good time to buy.
- holygoat 19y agoThat's one POV. Another: if you wait 6 months, there'll be another significant bump 6 months after that. (WiMax!) The sensible thing to do is to wait a year. Sorry, 18 months. Oh no, 2 years.
- alaskamiller 19y agonow is a good time to buy last gen's macbook pros for a steal.

- DocSavage 19y agoI'll give some YC hacker a good deal right now for my 1st gen macbook pro (2 GB RAM) :)
- semigeek 19y agoak (at) semigeek (dot) com Always like picking up more hardware - send the specs.
- alaskamiller 19y agocurrent macbook pro price: $1999 + taxes some thread perusing on macrumors: $1500-1600 shipped

- lyime 19y agoI wonder why there is no Multi Touch or Led displays in the Macbook.
- wmf 19y agoBecause new tech costs more? To create differentiation between two models that are already really similar?
