I'm buying a MBP and I was wondering if I should just go ahead and buy it now or wait till WWDC. What would you do?
Got a tip for us?

There was talk about the Arrandales coming out in November too. I doubt the next ones wont come out until they have Sandy Bridge processors.
Even if a new i7 came out, 2.66 to 2.8 Ghz isnt a big difference. Not a reason to wait to buy a new MBP
imo
yes....yes I did. I was just curious as to the thoughts of others. I don't expect any new hardware but I would hate to order now and SJ announce a price cut at WWDC.

Just passing along some information is all...
Buy now, there won't be any updates and I seriously can't see Apple dropping prices less than 2 months after they were released.
Apple announcing a price cut. LOLz. Pass the doobie.
Thanks, Tallest Skil.

both of these things brought back memories.

Why is that? Apple has made plenty of price cuts in WWDC keynotes.
Heh, There is no way Apple refreshes the laptop line next week. It seems that WWDC has become the iPhone developers conference. If new Macs are announced maybe the MacPros. It would seem that this is going to be a big iPhone geared event.Thanks, Tallest Skil.
With the iPad and the MBP as thin as it is now is there really a need for the air anymore.There may be a MacBook Air update...Lord knows one is needed on that thing...
That is a good question and we will see what Steve thinks about that based on whether there is an update or not...
I have friends that refuse to buy an iPad because of the glass keyboard (they know that you can connect a bluetooth keyboard but that is cumbersome and defeats the purpose of a very thin ultra light MacBook)...
Personally, I like the form factor of the Air, but the price is just too high IMO for a "travel Only" computer...
It'll be interesting to see what Apple decides to do with this product now that the iPad is here...
iPad isn't a laptop. Some people still need one of those to run real apps and the MBP is still thick compared to an Air.
To the OP I'd say just wait another week. There might not be a new MBP but maybe there is something else you'd want to spend money on lol
I concur...a $999.00 MacBook Air might do well, but the $1500.00+ plus price point seems a bit rich for such a niche product...
