I really want to buy 17" MBP. BUT, if I can wait still should I wait for one more cycle? i am using iMac (i bought about 4 years ago) and my wife's macbook (white - a year old). Does anyone guess next MBP will be so much different than this new one?? Please give me your thoughts!
Got a tip for us?

If you wait for the next one, why not wait for the one after that? And then the one after that?
agreed. just buy it now cause the latest and greatest will always be right around the corner no matter how long you wait.
wait dude, wait for arrandale.

I would hve suggested the same thing but I am not sure anymore. Arrandale won't be introduced until next year and with Sandy Bridge being slated to be introduced in Q1 of 2011, Arrandale will only have a 1 year cycle. Doesn't it make more sense to update now and then in like 3 to 4 years when Sandy Bridge is going to be on Rev B or C? Why would you buy a Rev A Arrandale when Rev B might not even follow?
Apple doesn't update their notebooks every month. Plus it makes sense to wait a month to see the reviews being posted about the new Rev. (just my opinion)
They also don't lower their prices very often, if ever. Meanwhile, the exact same hardware without the shiny apple logo is getting cheaper and cheaper from Dell, HP, etc...
