"End of Life" soon for MacBook Pro?
« on: August 16, 2008, 04:59:10 AM »

I am in the market to get a nice new MacBook Pro but after some looking around I see this at the MacRumors site: http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Pro

So should I wait for the new models to come out?
I am in no hurry so I could wait but wonder if other Mac fanatics know any other "details" on the new models?

Wait...for dear god...Wait!!!! Smiley

I would just wait until September as that appears to be when the newer models are going to come out. If you are in no rush, its best to wait a month for the newer one Smiley

New Macbook Airs apparently as well Smiley

I have been using Macbook pro for the last two years and still going smooth. But will be good to wait and see what the new one looks like.

I have worked for an Apple VAR and as an Apple Certified Macintosh Technician for over 12 years and have formed the opinion that it is always a good idea to wait if your within a month of a Mac conference.

I usually buy about a month after the new models are out.   That way if there is a major unanticipated problem with the first revision you can avoid it (first revision of the MacBook had temp sensor failure that would look like a failed logic board, took them about a month to release second rev.).  You can also find a lot of the previous model on the market for less at that time.
