Macbook Pro price increase?

[KidVicious]

Since the word is that Apple will introduce new MBPs at the WWDC, I've been convinced to wait to buy one until after the conference.

But does anyone know whether or not there is an expected price increase to go along with a new revision? Cause the MBP I was about to buy was right within what I wanted to pay for one, and I don't know If I'm willing to pay any more.

Historically, there haven't been price increases when a product revision occurs - often there is better performance for the same or lower price.

Unless, of course, it is a completely new product (larger screen) vs. just a "minor" upgrade (processor bump).

It would be unusual for there to be a price increase. Apples normal strategy is to sell a product for a given price until they bump the spec (i.e. no price drops over time). The new spec tends to be at the same price point as the old one.

Like emw said, prices rarely increase. The only time I really saw a price increase, besides with the Intel transition, is when the Power Mac Quad was released.

I doubt we will see the announcement of new MacBook Pro's. I do however anticipate the announcement of the Intel based PowerMac replacement ... the Mac Pro

Prices typically always stay around the same but just get better over time

Like those before me, I wouldn't expect a price hike....
