Any reason to not buy my GF a MacBook now? (forgive me, I'm in Thailand)

Not enough to justify the $500-1000 price difference between the 2 if the upgrades are what people are speculating. They have to be able to justify the price difference. Not just a little better, but $500-1000 better. Sorry, but a dedicated graphics card, a bigger monitor, and a little more power doesn't justify it for most people.

I don't see Apple making all of the upgrades some people are thinking. Some, yes, all, no. It is a wish list by many.

it also has a lot more ports, including the express card slot, which IMO is a huge deal...

If the MB gets all of those upgrades I still don't see the justification in price for what you get between the 2. My opinion of course.

sorry to bump this, especially since there is really not any "right" answer, but I am still undecided though leaning towards "buy it now" and could use some more insight(insite?) and food for thought.

If I sell the printer/iPod Touch, and pay out of pocket say $800 USD for the MacBook, how much could I expect to sell the MacBook for in 4 months assuming it is still new and unopened? If I buy it now I wno't actually have it in my hands until I get back from Asia in November..
