Should I buy a MBP 17 right now?

[Legind]

I'm heading to the mall in a couple of hours, just want an input if you guys think I should buy it now, or just wait a couple of months for a new one.

There won't be an update anytime soon, my guess is early 2011. Just buy now

I just bought the 13" on Friday! I say do it!

I am happy with it. There shouldnt be any updates for quite a few months. And when there are and you really think you want it, throw this one on Craigslist and get the new one. If you think its that important, you will only lose a little cash

I'd say go for it now. I just got my new 15" MBP last week and I'm not regretting it at all.

3 So far!

I just bought mine last week. In my opinion... unless Apple has an upcoming "Event" scheduled you should just buy one. If you are waiting for the next update.... you will always be waiting... something new is always around the corner.

Don't expect another event until Jan. for the next iPad. Maybe the one more thing might be a new MBA. Doubt they will refresh the MBP line anytime soon.

Sucks I can only max out to 1.75TB on the macbook by removing the optical bay, but I guess 1TB will do.

5 people so far said i should buy it today, looks like I will.

I'd say buy it now. Get an SSD for you OS and apps though - makes a huge difference.

It's a unanymous decision!

Order online with SSD. THey won't have those in stores.. Worth the price. But no sense in waiting.

Or buy the stock model and buy the SSD from aftermarket. That way you get better SSD and you can keep the 500GB HD for backups

Buy now but get it with AG.

If you need it now then buy it, though I'm pro wait until Early 2011 refresh
My Early 2009 MacBook is still more than adequate despite it three refreshes since, so you probably wont be disappointed if you buy now (but then again my MacBook is still on the same architecture as the current ones so I'm not so sure)
