I realize this question may be redundant but would just like some feedback from the community. I'm in the market for a 13" Macbook. The last refresh was in October I believe and wanted to know if we'll be seeing one anytime soon since it's been over 4 months now. I'm not referring to a complete refresh because that is obviously not likely, but rather a spec (bump in video card?) and price one. Thank you for your time and help.
Got a tip for us?

It'd be unlikely to see a video card upgrade with the first refresh. I'd just buy now, any refreshes won't add noticeable speed.
There is a mb/mbp update expected in 2-3 months
Will this be the revb update or just the same revA books with a spec bump??
I'm interested in a mb also but am trying to stick with the old "never buy the first gen. product" saying
So am I wrong thinking that the next update will be revB??
If I'm right and u can wait for the update I think it will be worth the wait even if it's just a moderate spec bump
If I'm wrong (very possible) then jus buy now reviews on this round of mb's have been pretty descent across the board
But I am a mac newb and am still learning my own way around this waiting game myself =)

Considering they just completely revamped the product line in October, any refresh will just be bumping the specs, slightly faster processor, and the like. If you need it now, get it now.
If you want a 13 inch MB, I would wait. Next revision might occur in April or May. I am buying a 17 inch MBP and have decided not to wait. Why? Because the 17 inch has all the things that I would wait for in the 13 and 15 inch already (better battery, anti-glare screen). They might do that with the 13 and 15 inch, but nobody knows. Snow Leopard will not be out until AT LEAST June. If you can, wait. If not, just buy. Technology is always being updated. Just the way it goes.
Mini hijack question:
Does the next mb/mbp update in the next few months = rev B? of this series?
Ty in advance. I'll take my answer off the air =)
