How many waiting for Core 2 Duo to buy MB/MBP?

[fener]

Here is an attempt to get the percentage of actually how many people are holding off from buying MB/MBPs right now.

Please, participate in voting ONLY if you are currently in the notebook market looking to buy in the very near future.


Are you holding off your MBP/MB purchase for Core 2 Duo?

yes there are various threads about the subject, but none with a poll. want to see the percentage

 

[deepy]

The polls a bit odd. I DO care about what processor the laptop has but am on a strict time limit so HAVE to buy whatever is in the laptop.

 

[Demon Hunter]

Voted, waiting for MBP.

 

[bluedevil14]

waiting, im buying one the second they come out, ive waited way too long

 

[damienvfx]

On the fence

I was going to wait, then not, then wait, then not again.

Then, my co-worker bought an iMac last Sunday. Well he was right pissed on Wednesday, which made me realize I'd kick myself if I made a similar move.

I'm waiting as I don't really need the machine yet, it would just be nice to have one soon.

 

[Sideonecincy]

I am waiting for it because I want to switch to a laptop but am in no big hurry.

 

[heehee]

I am. I am buying one the second it comes out. The current MBP is running too hot for me.

I was thinking of waiting, considering what the lady in the reseller told me, but since my Dad is ordering a C2D iMac on Monday and my MacBook along with it (hopefully) I see no point in waiting, if I need 64-bit or the 10-20% speed increase then I'll use my iMac otherwise there's no point.

I voted in the waiting for Core 2 Duo.

Got an iMac 5 weeks ago, now the Merom chips are out in them so I ain't making the same mistake with the Notebooks!

i need a notebook so I'll wait for the MBP 15in with the new chip

 

[witness]

I have cash waiting!

 

[Clydefrog]

look at sig

 

[gadgetgirl85]

Nope I bought my MBP a few weeks ago and I'm happy

 

[risc]

What do you want me to pick if I own a MacBook Pro and don't think it is worth updating to a Merom based notebook until the Santa Rosa Meroms arrive?

 

[milozauckerman]

I'm waiting until spring, not for any specific features. I've got a $600 gift card left over from a return, can't use it on the MP I'm ordering (Apple Developer Connection doesn't support GCs or split credit cards, for future reference), and don't really need a laptop in the next five or six months.

If by that time we get more goodies, so much the better.

 

[vrocko]

goin crazy waiting

waiting,waiting,waiting and waiting

 

[generik]

I don't care so much about Merom ironically. Neheleim's where its all at!

 

[bluetorch18]

Definitely

I need some Core 2 Duo loving.

 

[xPismo]

waiting,waiting,waiting and waiting

Yup. I must say I'm surprised how may of us are waiting. I guess since we keep them a long time on average everyone wants to be ahead of the tech curve.

Since I'm always editing film / sound I'll wait for the new chips... honestly, I'll wait till the last moment of my edu discount and grab as much as my bank account and credit cars will allow.

(which honestly means a 15" MBP if I'm lucky. But I can dream of a house full of mac)

 

[Nuc]

Waiting for the C2D 17" MBP.

How about an option for those who don't care too much about C2D, but more about other updates (GPU, chassis, etc)? I'm happy to get Merom along the way, but really, it's not the deciding factor.

What do you want me to pick if I own a MacBook Pro and don't think it is worth updating to a Merom based notebook until the Santa Rosa Meroms arrive?

Nothing.

Please read the first note. Vote only if you are currently in the market to buy a new notebook; not if you already own one.
