Looking Into Buying A Macbook Pro

[bexyrexy]

I've been looking into buying a macbook pro for awhile now and with Christmas money I finally plan too.
It won't be my first mac either, I'm just not sure exactly what specs I need.
I would like to get a 15 in but I don't know which processor, hard drive, or memory to get.
I use my computer for mainly the internet, skype, and storing photos and editing them along with videos (nothing outside of iMovie or Photoshop Elements). I also play video games, The Sims 3, and World of Warcraft.
I plan to bring this computer to college with me in 2 years.
Would it just be smarter to wait until they release their new mac pros? I don't need it immediately.

If you can wait until April, yes.

I would get at least a 512meg video card on the i5.

I too am in the same position as bexyrexy, but am looking to get it sooner rather than later. Do they have a conference in January where they will announce it, or do you mean they will announce it in April?

Excuse my lack of knowledge, I've got a very limited knowledge of this sort of matter. Also, what will actually change?

It's a toss up. January might be a release but April is a usual update.

If new MBPs are released in April, it's highly doubtful there'd be any price increase, and of course they'd be more powerful, so I'd wait.
