Hey guys. I'm a teenager on a tight budget, but I could squeeze out enough to buy a Mac. I'm only an intern. My job ends in about 5 weeks. I will not get back the money that I spend until I find another job when this one ends. That means, I want what I get to last me at least 4 years (maybe longer). Should I wait until the Intel Mac Mini comes out, or buy now? I don't have all the money I need yet, but I will in about 2 or 3 weeks.
Got a tip for us?

Buy or wait?

This is easy: If you need it now, buy it. If you can wait, wait. Remember though, the longer you wait, the longer you don't have a new Mac. Pretty simple decision to me.
If you have the money soon and need a Mac now, then go ahead and purchase now. I personally wouldn't want to purchase the Rev. A Intel Mac. My current Power Mac has been in operation since September 2000, so you shouldn't worry about it lasting. Your parents must be very proud that you've earned the money on your own. 
Argh, rumours about the mini being updated 'next week' have been circulating the forums for months now, personally i wouldnt count on it, but if it does materialise, all the more better for us all!!!bodeh6 said:
