New macbook pro non-retina coming this week?

I would wait. Tomorrow they are expected to announce new haswell products.

 

Hi Sam,

You should wait, at least until the annual education perks are available.

Here's why:
1. Assuming that new models will be released, it is likely that they will be available at the same price points or at lower price points, even.
2. If new ones aren't released, the existing models may become cheaper, but they certainly won't become more expensive.
3. Last year, the perk was a free $100 iTunes gift card, good for the iTunes/App Stores. In previous years, Apple typically offered a free iPod (any base model).

 

The back to school promo is in June to August. I personally do not think the non retina MBPs will get an upgrade tomorrow.

 

there is a conference tomorrow

and s/he was mentioning the back to school offers, which were usually free ipods and now are gift cards

 

Ah, are you not in the U.S.? We usually get it sometime around this month.

I think it'll be released sometime this month. For various reasons (speed, resale value, future repair support, potential price drops), it is still worth waiting for, in my opinion.

 

I see. I find it strange that your back-to-school promotions begin in December, since I know that U.Toronto's academic year begins in September.
