I'm considering buying a 15" MBP i7 2.6GHz, and was wondering if it's okay to buy this year's model. The reason I am asking is because I've watched so many YouTube videos showing the machine heating up a lot and causing throttling issues.

Is this a safe investment or would Apple likely release a significantly improved version next year?

Thanks!
 
If your current machine is not up to the job get a new machine, if it is up to the job then wait until it isn’t. Then buy whatever is the latest and greatest as needed.
