The best time to buy a Mac is when you need one; if you wait forever you'll never end up buying one. My work machine died less than a month ago; a little bit annoying that this happened but there's always going to be a better, faster, cheaper Mac in the future.
- supercoder 12y agoNo the best time to buy one is immediately after they release a refresh.
- Deinos 12y agoThat is assuming that being on the cutting edge matters to you. If you just need a machine spec'd to accomplish the tasks that you perform on a daily basis, you buy when your old machine can no longer get that job done (and the smart money might even be on an older model at a discount if it suits those needs).
- jsmeaton 12y agoPicked up a new one about 2 months ago just knowing in the back of my mind that something new would be released soon. Glad I didn't miss out on too much =)
- jon-wood 12y agoIf you bought it less than a month ago there's a pretty good chance that Apple will replace it free of charge (I even got a small refund in one case, when they dropped the price of MacBook Airs at the same time as a hardware refresh).
