Should i buy a macbook pro now or wait?

If you need one now, get one. Otherwise I wouldn't be expecting a new Macbook Pro this year.

If you want the best performance MBP..

If you want the slickest MBP..

Wait until the last year of your life when you think you'll die and buy an MBP.

You'll never get to see the next one, so you'll have THE MOST AWESOME MBP EVER CREATED IN THE UNIVERSE!

get one if you really need it now. i thought the buyer's guide explained it quite enough

My recommendation is wait.

I disagree with others about MBP is not getting upgrade anytime soon. If you don't need it, I would wait for few months. MBP will be updated sooner than later.

Last update was February. It has been over 7 months. Apple usually updates MBP every 8-10 months. There is a strong chance that MBP will be updated by end of October.

Expect faster CPU
Better GPU

These are minor updates, but current models will also see the price drop.

If you can wait, wait.
If not, buy it now.

I'm waiting for the pretty new body (and Ivy Bridge), I recommend you do, too

There are strong rumors that there will be a slight bump in CPU this week. I am waiting till friday, if nothing happens then i am getting mine. Maybe you should do the same. Ivy bridge will not be out until late 1h next year so you would wait 8 months for that.

Get it now if you need it.

Wait if you can wait till next year April-ish.

you said before by the end of November? Buy it NOW!!! Why wait? Forget about April refresh!

This is exactly what I am doing

I think this is the best idea and at least for me, this is what I am doing. You still get two weeks of a retune policy so your safe. If something new comes out, return or call up apple for a better price or wherever you based from.

14 change in price policy

So in doing more research I found this little gem:

Should Apple reduce its price on any shipped product within 14 calendar days of shipment, you may contact Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 to request a refund or credit of the difference between the price you were charged and the current selling price. To receive the refund or credit you must contact Apple within 14 calendar days of the price change.

I am going to count 14 days out which should be now and order my laptop

When it comes to technology if you wait until the next upgrade or the next best thing you will never buy anything. The MacBook Pro or whatever laptop you buy this week may be obsolete next week or next month.

If you listen to all the rumors as to when Apple will upgrade the MacBook, well you will probably never buy a MacBook because there is always the new one a few months away.

If you need a computer now, then buy it now. When the new ones come out and you really feel you have to have whatever bells and whistles they aded sell what you have now and get the new one, but keep in mind that in a few more months another one with even better bells and whistles will be out, but wait theres more .....a few months after that there will be another then another and so on and so on and so on.

The soundest advice with technology products is simply if you need it now, buy it now. If not, then wait a few months. It's really not that hard.
