Hey guys, I need your advice, I have booked a trip to NYC on the 25 July. I need a laptop for the plane which is 8 hours, but don't know wether to buy a MBA now or chance it and wait untill the refresh. I know a lot of people ask this every day but my question is a small variation, will it be out before July 25? :apple:
 
There is just no way anyone here can answer that...We just don't know...All we do know is that a refresh is in the pipeline....Anything else is guesswork I'm afraid...If you need one now, and are prepared to chance the refresh hitting the stores shortly after you purchase, then buy now....Smart advice? Wait if you can.
 
As I just said in another forum thread...

I would say wait until about a month before you need it. Also, you could consider a 2011 refurbished model from the Apple Store.

The reason I say about a month before is you want time to set it up and make sure it's working well for your needs.
 
Well, if you don't need it until July 25th, you might as well wait. If it doesn't come out by then, buy the current gen for your trip.
 
Why do you need it "for the plane"? Unless you're a businessman, i would enjoy the inflight entertainment and wait for the 2012mba.
