I would get it now... I guess we won't see any change on the MacBook before October at best...

Never purchase the first iteration of a redesigned Apple product. Apple uses it's first adopter customers as beta-testers.

Even if Apple were to go upgrade crazy, the most that would happen to the MacBook would probably be a Core 2 Duo processor (64-bit instead of 32-bit), probably 2GHz on the low end,…

I don't see the MacBooks being upgraded as often as their Pro ancestors. Simply because the Pro's have a socketed motherboard makes it easy for Apple to change things as often as …

I just bought my BlacBook last week. I wanted to wait...but got too impatient. I think I will hold on to this Book - unless they somehow inro a MacBook Pro in Black - at 13". I so …

I see the Core 2 Duo showing up in the Mac Pro desktop first, then after its out, the Core2Duo will filter down through the ranks of the laptops starting with the Pro (sometime aft…

thanks for all the advice guys, i think i'm gonna go ahead and buy mine sometimes in the next few weeks

For the OP... I doubt there'll be additional specials or upgrades from Apple itself. And I don't think Leopard is supposed to come out till 07, so that's another reason not to wait…

Oh, and if you have to ask "should I buy now, or wait?", you should always wait. No matter when you purchase, something better will always arrive within 6-12 months. My suggestio…

The per-clock difference in SpecInt between the Core Duo and Core Duo 2 is about 25% at the same clockspeed. It's significant, but not huge. The Core Duo 2 won't clock any faster t…

i think the best question is to "buy now or wait til Jan 07" i mean, that's when the recent rumor sites (based on wallstreet analysts) say that there is going to be a tablet or ult…

Ohhhh you make it sound so easy ;-)

Generally I wouldn't expect to see a refresh in the macbook line in August. The desktop line may be released, the MBP may get a speed bump but I think the MB will stay pat. If …

If you can wait, you should wait. Not to say that you will have the same experience, but I've gotten burned on two Rev A machines before (the original blue and white G3 had all …

This's a valid reason to buy ahead, if you must. Is this your first undergrad degree or master's? That's enough stress there than to worry about trying to get windows working…

I want to use a Shuffle for my store's jukebox. It will just play all day long on random. My question is, will the Shuffle play while attached to the Apple AC adapter. I don't w…
