Murphy's law plays a role in our logic here also our want to have a perfect machine.

If we buy now, the new machine will be everything we hoped it would be

If we wait, the new machine will be exactly opposite of what we want, and we will be punching ourselves over it.

Also, part of it is to be able to say for the next 6 months "My macbookpro is the newest model'

really you can say its the newest model for quite a while. most people can't decipher a 06 macbook from the current macbook because the design is similar. When the new design comes out it will most likely become the standard for another 3 years or so
