I am trying to find a MacBook Unibody for cheap like around the $1000-$1100CAD mark. I've seen alot of people selling their macbook unbodies and I hope to snag one up as my primary computer - they are beautiful machines. Anyway, should I buy now or save up more and buy something better at WWDC? Thanks
 
Just wait an extra 2 weeks and see if there's an upgrade. You'd be saving a few hundred dollars and have a better machine looking ahead in the future.

EDIT: Just realized you'd be spending under $1000, I'd still say wait, but if it's a legit seller then go for it.
 
I you could wait a few more weeks, I would. I don't know how much anything new will affect you. For what you are wanting to spend you will need to get a refurb or buy used. Which is what you said you were looking for in the first place. If you see a deal that you feel you shouldn't pass up then go for it.
 
If you wait, and Apple release a new model, it could force the price down further, or let you afford a new one. That's what I'd do.
 
I'd say wait, for psychological reasons if nothing else: you won't have to spend the next two weeks chewing on your fingernails, wondering if you did the wrong thing.
 
I've only recently come back to the :apple:<3 world, but as far as I remember Apple offer a 10 day no-questions-asked full refund return? So you could buy it now, but I don't remember the exact details on whether you can open it, etc.

Wait till someone confirms this before doing it. You might only be able to buy it and not open the box, which wouldn't be worth it.
 
Im in the same boat as the OP, this will be my first :apple:MacBook. You guys are saying wait a couple of weeks. Why is this and is there a date or time of month when prices could come down or get a better model for the same price as a less model.
 
Well I got one

I bought my first macbook a week ago, i was going to wait but once i went to the apple store i just couldn't leave without one!!! I cant see they would bring out any major upgrade and if they do even old MB's make good money on eBay, so you wouldn't loose that much!!!😀
