I'm struggling. The 13-inch one looks quite nice. But the 15-inch may come out soon. I just don't wanna regret if I buy a 13 inch now and regret very soon when the new 15 comes out. Can anyone give me some suggestions?
 
I am replacing my 2009 iMac hopefully with a 15 inch MBP but not sure if I should wait for a refresh or buy now. The cheapest I have found the base 15inch model is 1799.
 
I am waiting! But I am quite happy with my 2012 rMBP, so I have no urge to update for the current model. I can certainly wait until the (hopefully redesigned) Skylake one comes out either later this year or earlier next one.
 
I'm waiting to replace my 2009 C2D, which is getting a tad slow but still useful so I don't have any rush. No way I would get a 13" after being used to the 15" screen all these years. Those 2 inches make a big difference :p

- If your eyes can handle it, you can actually get more screen real estate on the current 13" models than you have on your 15".

I have to imagine that the resolution will be bumped up on the new 15" as well, since I'm in no rush to update I rather wait.
 
I'm waiting for the skylake refresh. Hoping that they add the space grey option at the same time as well as that new keyboard.
 
I'm waiting for the Cannonlake update. That one is definitely going to be dabest. I'll struggle along with my laggy Broadwell until then. Not sure how I'll manage.

you are going for the base model broadwell will make little difference and a deal on a 2014 is probably worth it.

If they go to 512gb standard for ssd you may kick yourself though. and if they skip broadwell and go to skylake also.
