Well MacRumors BuyersGuide (http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/) is recommending not to buy Macbook Pro's at this time because an update is expected soon.

If I were you I would wait a month or so, and see if anything new is released because currently rumors are pointing towards updates.

As for selling your Macbook, if a newer one is released it's value will most probably drop dramatically, so keeping it would be a bit of a gamble. But it's your choice as to when you want to sell it.

it does not sound like this is going to be a mb/mbp announcement. if it's not i would not look for them until the first of the year. if you need/want a mbp now then get one. as far as the ipod deal, if they announce a new touch on the 9th and you order yours on the 11th, then it should be the new one. if it's not then you could make a call or go to an apple store and exchange it.

acually I think the back to school deal applies to specific models (so new ones are not included)... To my knowledge this is how it has worked in the past...

You could sell the MB now while it has good value and buy an inexpensive used MBP 2.16 or 2.33 to hold you over until the new machines are available.

Agree, or you could do as panzer06 suggests, and wait until the updates come out, when a MBP refurb might be the answer as they have been rigorously tested, are the most recent but one of the model lineup, come with the benefit of the Apple warranty (with the possibility of including Applecare should you feel you need it) and have a generous discount.
Cheers

Well... there is that slight uncertainty about the nvidia GPU in the current models... even though its supposed to be fixed ... many people are not so sure.
