It is just a computer. An object in your life...

If all people can understand this, there will be no OCDs

everything except your Life or other peoples lives are an Object...

As someone else said, the 15' upgrade will be a relatively small upgrade so there's little reason that we know right now for you to wait. To boot, I don't really see a release happening much before the end of May and it could well be mid-June at the very earliest if Apple decided to wait until the dual core ivy bridge processors are also release so that the entry level 13' can be updated at the same time (very likely unless they decide to go quad across the range). So if you need the machine before mid-June, I would buy it from apple.com, then at 14 days and no less ask for the machine to be returned and make arrangements for the courier to pick up a week or two later (say you are on vacation or something). I don't think Apple really cares when the machine lands with them. It's when you initiate the return that has to be within 14 days. That may buy you an extra few days and get you closer to the release date of the new range.

That been said, if the 15' machine changes form factor, you will be kicking yourself for not waiting. In general, pay little attention to those who simply condone and good luck with whatever you decide to do. Remember these same people people are on this board because they also actually fret about release cycles (why else would they be on mac rumors website).

Your problem has nothing to do with a computer. You need a woman.

Well that depends doesn't it.

Potentially, you may have use of nice 15" machine for the next couple of months before the new machines, AND not have a crippled new machine without memory slots or a second drive bay.

We don't know what apple plans with the new 15", if they change form factor then there may well be people who don't like it for whatever reason

What a ridiculous thread. Find some hobbies.

Yeah I just wasted 2 minutes of my life by clicking on it. Sure seems like this site is starting to fill up with lots of crap as of late. Wonder if I'll dump it like I did Engadget.

Or a man.

The current-gen CPUs and GPUs were launched literally in the last few days. Dell and HP currently show 2-4 week wait times on models with these new chips.

Well, regardless. If something was coming, and if it was a substantial upgrade, then I'd think we should have some leaks by now at the very least. It was the same for prior releases.

In fact, leaks usually precede release by at least a month, so going by that metric, we likely won't see anything new for at least another month.

On a side note, "launched" means going to consumers. Engineering samples should have been sent to OEMs so that they could prepare their designs ahead of time.

Dell and HP only show 2-4 week wait time because they need that time to gather together materials for packaging, advertisements, shipments, etc... It's obvious that they can't just up and produce thousands of these devices in 2 or 4 weeks.
