It seems that nobody really knows whether Apple will announce their new MacBooks now or in August. I strongly doubt they would announce a new product during an earnings call, that's rather unusual and I think unprecedented. So does anyone know anything that can convince me they aren't going to make us wait until August/September for the new MacBooks?
 
the question has been made every day

someone will kill you for this thread :D

my quick answer is
if you absolutely need it now, buy it now
if you can wait 1 week to 2 months, then wait

however this is the spring-summer of changes (ivy b) so it's up to you.

Yeah, I just saw someone else ask basically the same thing four minutes before I did. Mea culpa. It's just that 1 week to 2 months is a lot of uncertainty. What has everyone thinking that it could happen this week anyway?
 
If you can wait a few months then wait. Odds are they they will announce something in the May/June time frame. They are not going to wait till August/September.
 
There should be an automated response bot that responds to these threads, because the exact same thing seems to happen every day.

OP: Hey guys, I really want a Macbook Pro but don't want to buy one right now and then regret it later. When do you think the new ones will come out?

zzz.
 
This question is asked at least once every day. Only you can answer it.

April is usually about the time for macbook refreshes...When I bought my 2010 i5, I knew that the refresh was very close to happening due to news and increased chatter on these boards so I waited, and like expected...apple site went down wednesday night for a refresh
