2012 Macbook Pro Redesign

Quick question about these new product launches ...

I'd like to by a MBP in the next few months in time to start graduate school. If new MBP models come out before August, would Best Buy discount any of the current models? I really don't need the latest thing, but I wouldn't mind getting an "older" model for a bit of a discount. I think I'd prefer that over buying a refurbished model. Besides, I have a Best Buy card, so I'm probably stuck buying from there anyway. Also, how deep would BB discount an older model to get it out the door?
 
Just a little tantalizing tidbit... The last 4 refreshes of anything, IPad, iPhone, and both 2011 MacBook pros all had downs of over 4 hours. No other time has a maintenance been over 4. Currently, we are at 6.

Could be a new image, however it is already "shopping opening time" for potential buyers in Europe and thats why I find it strange since people are unable to buy directlly from Apple.
 
Simple image launches don't take 6 hours. They could relay out the entire Mac line in 6 hours of they wanted to... Hmm...

OK. VERY untechie person here! 59 years old etc.
I am going to buy a mbp this time. Want to get the best general performance from it so looking to configure RAM/HD/SSD.
Which is best to go for if money is limited - bigger RAM or higher spec HD/SSD?
Realise the answer will probably be how long is a piece of string http://cdn.macrumors.com/vb/images/smilies/smile.gif
but just wondered what you experts think. http://cdn.macrumors.com/vb/images/smilies/confused.gif

8gb of Ram and an SSD is all you will realistically need.
 
All hope is not lost! I did some more math, and realized there were big store downs a day or 2 before big releases as well.
 
In Spain Apple Store still down.

Five minutes ago I started loading but did not complete the load, now it show "We'll be back".

Something it's happening or simply maintenance? :confused:
 
Just one of those extra long maintenance. Nothing special because Hong Kong Apple website is up with no change :) Oh wells hahahah.
