I need a MacBook Pro and was wondering if i should get one now, or wait until its refreshed. You think Apple will refresh them in October? Not sure if the refresh would be a huge improvement over the current models. What do you think?
Apple doesn't really launch/announce hardware at WWDC, so that's harder to go on. OP asked if they should buy or wait, which implies they have the ability to wait. If the current models weren't dealing with keyboard issues, I'd say the wait wasn't as necessary, but if it were me, I'd hold out to see if they've resolved that issue with the next model.There were countless rumors about updates to the MacBook Pro lineup before WWDC 2018 and now that it passed and nothing happened the rumors changed to a hardware event somewhere in September or October. What if nothing happens and apple skips the 8th gen and go for the cannon lake ? Just saying, don’t rely on rumors. You need a MacBook buy one if you can wait then wait. Simple as that
Of course if you can wait then wait. As many people already said in here , the best time to buy a laptop is when you actually need it.Apple doesn't really launch/announce hardware at WWDC, so that's harder to go on.

Yes.You think Apple will refresh them in October?
Not sure if the refresh would be a huge improvement over the current models.
Wait!What do you think?
Haha, awesome. Thank you very muchYes.
- Very likely: The jump from quad-core to hex-core will be a decent improvement for multi-core performance.
- Very likely: The keyboard gets a much-needed reliability improvement, as the 2016 - 2017 models have keyboards that are 3-4 times more likely to encounter problems compared to the models from 2015 and before. Not exactly what I'd want to hear before spending $2,400 on a Mac.
- Somewhat likely: A price drop.
- Somewhat likely: A bump in display resolution to better compete with PC laptops that are already available with 4K displays.
- Somewhat likely: A bump to 32 GB RAM. I consider this a guarantee for the 2019 models but the 2018 models may stay at 16 GB.
Wait!
