My university is selling the low end 15" MBP for $1699 and the high end for $1999, do you think this is a good deal? Or should I just wait for the low end Penryn MBP which will probably cost $1799 w/ education discount? Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

Are $1,699 (2.2) or $1,999 (2.4) good deals for new machines?
I say absolutely yes.
Should you wait?
I dunno.... Are you willing to let that deal go and then wait for the bookstore to get new stock in? Can you realistically wait another 4 weeks? (or more...)
There are a lot of people who are waiting on the Penryn MBP's for over 6 weeks now. They should/could be announced any day now. There was a story over on Engaget this afternoon that Dell has announced their Penryn laptops, so Apple, you would think, should be coming in the next week or two.
$300 or $500 off the current machines is a good deal. It all comes down to what else the *new* MBP's will have on them.🙂
