Next MacBook Pro: Are you going to buy/wait?

[irishgrizzly]

I'm curious to know how many will buy day one vs wait for bug to show. I plan to wait about 2-3 weeks to hear of early reports. After that I'll trust in Apples warranty.

wait for refurbs of the specs i want to show up or back to school promo whichever is first

I'd forgot about refurbs – they would take at least a month to show up?

Prob wait a month to make sure there are no major catastrophic issues, then buy

Not sure to be honest

im going to wait for the one after this one. got mine a year ago so im gonna wait another year.

I'm going to wait and see how the new MBP are doing...being of the first to buy it may have its disadvantages..so waiting a few weeks won't hurt

 

[Sequin]

I'm not sure. Logically I'd say I am going to wait because that's what I do with most new technology, but I've been dying to get my hands on a MBP for so long... argh. I think my patience is too thin for me to wait much longer.

I'm buying on day one.

I need a new MBP - I've been using a friend's MacBook for the past few weeks (long story..) and didn't see the point in buying a new MBP when the new ones are so close.

Assuming I can do a swap, I'll buy it day one; if I can't then I won't even buy it.

 

[DaWooster]

Two months until the Edu deals, so that's my boat.

 

[MicDK]

Day 1 for me aswell. I need a new laptop as soon as possible.

 

[Jaro65]

There seems to be plenty of pent-up demand there. That's for sure.

 

[jjp14]

Probably sometime in May or June. My current laptop is on its last legs .

 

[Clete2]

Day one. I've been using a gracious friend's laptop ever since my Dell died in Sept-Nov. (It had been dying for a while but finally died entirely in November)

 

[delux246]

Day 1. I've been waiting a while and I kind of need it for work and college. I also think we will see another upgrade by the end of the year so I will sell this one and buy the next.

 

[Mintin8]

In the first month.

 

[Relznuk]

I really, really need a new one, so I'll be there day one.

 

[ExCode]

The day it's out, I'm buying.

 

[Raje]

As soon as I have the money. I am almost there.

 

[PFDarkside]

I've been saying I'm going to buy a maxed out 13" MBP (first Mac) once they refresh since the beginning of Jamuary. Now that the day is drawing near, I'm beginning to have second thoughts. I can't seriously just spend MSRP, that's not my style. Should I give my wad of cash to a friend still in college and go to the Apple store? Order from MacMall and wait a week or two? Choices...

 

[thadoggfather]

i'm a college student so i'm not duping the system but i know if you order from online and just select a school, you can get the edu discount (instead of giving your friend money to get one for you -- not needed)

 

[mug3n]

Some time before the annual free ipod deal ends.

I need a new computer, but not in a dire hurry.

 

[alphaod]

Day one. I've been using a gracious friend's laptop ever since my Dell died in Sept-Nov. (It had been dying for a while but finally died entirely in November)

Haha; your friend must be getting quite antsy.

"Oh next week, I'll return it!" … after a week: "I meant next week, sorry!"

 

[JoshGlzBrk]

I will buy right away because I'm not a patient person. It's tearing me apart inside waiting this long especially after ordering a dell studio xps and going through two months of hell in the end to just get a full refund.


I'm ready for something real.
