No, no one knows. It seems likely that the MacBook will get a santa rosa and LED screen update possibly in time for Leopard. But it's not certain.
Santa rosa is the updated chipset that the macbook pro's got recently, slightly faster, updated graphics chipset etc. The processors have just had a slight speed bump last month.
As for blueray and HD, they would be the first mac's to get those, and I believe Apple is in the blueray camp. I think the macpro has support for them, but it doesn't come with them.
If you can wait 4 months, and don't need that computer now, then yes, waiting will mean 1) you don't have to pay to upgrade to leopard and 2) you get the chance of a hardware upgrade.
On the other hand, if leopard arrives and the hardware isn't updated, will you just buy it, or wait incase they upgrade next week, or the week after, or the week after that?
If you can't afford to go that long without the computer then buy it now, it's a fine machine, and if you realy need, they tend to retain their value qite well, you could ebay it and upgrade.

I can wait no problem. And I know what you mean with electronics you can wait forever if you always want to have the best and the newest.
But I mean 4 month and Leopard arrives, then there has to be an update for macbook within that time. Otherwise it would be an old maschine compared to other electronics.
Here in Denmark, the value of used Macs isnt that good, so they don't retain the value that good :-(
Not anymore.
So we can hope for a update this year maybe.
I'll wait until there comes an update for the Macbook.
there has to be. dell is releasing a higher power 13" laptop than the macbook, much more powerful, with a geforce 8400. to compete apple has to at least match this or do better, and we know that they ordered a bunch of 13" LED screens
if not by leopard then by christmas
