UK Apple Store has plenty, everything is still "Dispatched: Within 24hrs - In Stock"

Wow your spoiled rotten. Do you really need all that?

Actually, he's pretty poor. Can't even afford the 6970's.

Built to order MacBook Pros on US Apple Store now showing 3-5 days shipping time (instead of normal 1-3 days). Looks like update really could be next week!

Interestingly, only for the upper end 15s and 17s. All 13s and low end 15s still show 1-3 day shipping for BTOs.

Canadian Store says the same.

 

[i hate phones]

lowest model 15 inch ships in 1-2 MONTHS on amazon (us)... the rest of the 15s and 17s all say order soon and only have a few in stock

Actually, he's pretty poor. Can't even afford the 6970's.

you mean 5970, the 5000 series is more powerful and more expensive than the 6000series

This MBP refresh or next?

Hi guys, I really need your advice.

I want to purchase a Macbook Pro really, REALLY bad, but if they're supposedly going to do a significant refresh near the end of summer, such as redesigning the case and using quad-cores, should I hold out for that? Or should I pull the trigger on the new ones?

Thanks

 

[morty192]

US isn't down so can't see the store coming down being for anything too exciting probably just server maintenance................

I was thinking along the line of 'Europe is falling madly in love with Mac', but hey, whatever floats your boat

US will go down after our timezone has gone to sleep

If they refresh now they probably wont update at the end of the summer.

the mbp updates are like 10-12 months apart

 

[morty192]

so do you agree it's just server maintenance then?

 

[nylonsteel]

i shouldnt be so greedy and spend some of the money i made on aapl stock last year and pull the trigger on a mbp 13 - if the specs and price are reasonable

 

[skiltrip]

I sold my 2010 13" last week just in case.

 

[Shoey Peachew]

Finally, I've been holding out for the newer Mac for a year and I will buy it immediately if the 13" is under 4lbs(that would be sweeeet), has the awesome LCD of the 13" Air and is faster. Otherwise, I'll think about buying it for a while before I cave in and buy it.

Or, I'll wait for the faster 13" air hopefully this summer.

 

[Boe11]

I really hope after all this that it's not just some ultra minor update.

I'm holding off on selling my current mac just in case...

almost all european stores are updating right now

this is sooo tense... when does the back to school offer start?

I am almost very sad to get a new MBP, since my April 2008 15" MBP is still kicking better than any windows machine I could get at work... I don't really like the keyboard of the latest round of revisions, my fingers flow easily from key to key with my current MBP's keys. I would say that i don't really need an upgrade technically, as this laptop is awesome 3 years later, just my current warranty is done and my employee wants me to be covered... What a bad spot to be in...
