Mac Pro 2.66 vs. November Penryn Mac Pro

never ever ever buy a new mac right when the model is released. look at the MBP screen issues, etc. History has always shown that apple fanboys will buy the first ones no matter what, so quality control is not needed. let the fanboys buy the first ones. I would wait 4-5 months.

This might be true for most of Apple's products as most issues tend to be heating and screens, let's not forget over 15% of all notebooks have issues in the first year anyway. With the Mac Pro however, it's a little different. Whatever is done won't likely be requiring much on the engineering side, buying the Mac Pro at release shouldn't really be considered a risk. Waiting that long when you need it is also likely out of the question.

See my sig.... bought mine this summer.... I'm so glad I didn't wait. I'm getting a ton of work done every day, and I'm not looking back. If something better comes out in the upcoming months, it's no problem..... I won't be beta-testing a new motherboard or a new design in the Mac Pro with a new revision, if there happen to be design problems. I have a solid Mac Pro that suits my needs just fine.

Either way you decide, I wish you the best of luck.

Because the first Mac Pro has so many problems... 🙄 And they have changed oh so much to fix those terrible problems. 🙄

Way to justify your purchase though. Kudos.
