I was looking at my computer buying page at my college and read this:
Welcome Class of 2011: You are now able to log into the SCI store with your OIT netID, but you should wait to purchase an SCI computer until June 11th, 2007 when the new models are available.
My school only offers four models, 2 Dell and a Macbook and a Macbook pro model. I wonder if they know (for sure) a little more about whats coming out of apple soon
. As a disclaimer, I don't know what their usual timeframe for updating models is, i.e. I don't know if June 11th is just their standard date, but it seems kinda coincidental for it to be.
Their MBP model isn't outdated either, 2.16 C2D, 128mb x1600, 120gig HDD, 1gig mem, and it lists only b/g wireless, but I think they just havent updated the page. Anyway, AFAIK, that is the stock model available right now, so if they're updating......suggests replacing with a new one...
Slight dampener is the macbook is the older 1.83 version, so not everything they have is up-to-date.
anyway just thought I'd throw this out
