New MBP: Become a first adopter or wait?

[BlackbookGuy]

Going to buy

Some of us have little choice about waiting/buying this year.

I need a new computer (well, want) as mine is old now and the keyboard works only some of the time. I haven't bought a computer since 2006 and whatever happens with the new MBPs, I will have to buy one or wait another year. I want another OS X machine, so unless this year's offerings are total failures, I will be buying one.

Hope they don't suck. Probably won't. I won't buy for the first few weeks since, as others have said, I will wait and see if their are any glaring issues.

The biggest and most obvious flaws will be flushed out in the first few weeks. Can anyone tell me how long it took to discover/address the big problem with the last nVidia MacBooks, the one that Apple offered free replacements for?

It would suck to buy one on launch day and then find it has a really huge issue that takes Apple months to resolve because, as you said, it takes them a while to alter the manufacturing process.

This is the kind of question that needs to die out. You can avoid such problems by not buying on launch day, and not speculating on future hardware decisions because you heard it somewhere. Regarding NVidia, it's mostly Mac fans that hate them, and you're just being trolled by the bloggers anyway. AMD has worked out well in laptops since then, so there really isn't a good reason for Apple to go back to NVidia. Now you may ask why we've seen so many rumors. Well the launch is later than people expected, so they jump at any rumor that is posted. It's not news. It's garbage that someone made up and passed off as news. They add words like "controlled leak" or "confirmed" to make it sound legitimate.
