Ok so I purchased a MacBook in Jan. and have converted 2 friends to get a Mac. One wants a MBP for the video editing stuff and the more power and the other wants a MB just for personal use. Should I tell them to go ahead and get one now or wait for these "rumors" of updates to come true? I'll pass on all the advice to them.
Got a tip for us?

I would say if you want a bump in speed (Nehelem) I might wait. 
If you are talking about the new casing redesign, I wouldn't hold my breath, just get it.
I dunno, that's my 2¢...

The best time to buy a computer is always tomorrow.
There are always rumors of new hardware...because there's always new hardware coming.
Buyer's Guide (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com//) says both MB and MBP are in the middle of a typical product cycle and estimates it's a "neutral" time to buy.
