I know that there will be new processors, will the Macbook get multi-touch?, LED screens? should i buy now or wait until june (I can wait all this year). Also should I get a high end white macbook or a blackbook?

Fair enough, i'll probably get one in July (b'day and so-on) but what one do you recommend a High-End White or a Black because if heard of problems on the black ones.

You're safe to buy the current revision, they're really well-speced. I would reccomend getting the white one because it's cheaper. Personally, I find paying extra for a color is just stupid, but some people find a different color to be $100 (or whatever the difference is now-250GB upgrade) well spent. I guess it's a personal choice. But if you get white, you can get a case, keyboard, mouse, ram, and/or something else to go with your new computer.

I think you should buy now, there's a chance that it might have a multi-touch trackpad, but it's spec is going to stay similar to what it is now. Is it worth waiting 6 months or more for pinching and rotating?

General rule of thumb is:

if you need it, you wont wait for it cause you will be buying it first chance you get.

If you can wait, it probably shows that you dont need it at all.
