They probably won't say anything to you, if you have a Uni ID. Your thread title said that you wanted advice, so my advice is to wait 2.5 weeks until June 11th. You might end up kicking yourself.
I don't think that macbooks will be updated at WWDC. I think that if he wants one, now is a great time to buy and enjoy his computer. Might as well buy it now and start using it.
Just like iMacs weren't updated at Macworld 2006, because they had just been updated 2 months earlier.
I'm just saying that no one knows what will or will not be updated at WWDC. Figuring how close the event is, there is no point in buying now, unless he really needs it right this very instant.

Two months is at least a reasonable amount of time. The time differnce between May 15th and WWDC is less than a month. I think it's highly unlikely for us to see macbook updates at WWDC. However, if he has no need for it, then waiting won't hurt him either.
Then you should buy it before you leave. You have a need for a notebook, and waiting for an unlikely update makes no sense. Buy it now and use it on your trip. Enjoy your trip.
