I had an experience last year with my MBP on Christmas day. I was sure that I was going to get a MBP for Christmas and as I got to the last present and opened it up, I realized that it was a griddle top for our oven (very handy for eggs and breakfast). I was so dissappointed that it was the last present and I realized that I wouldn't be getting one. To make things worse the box for the griddle even had the same shape as a MBP box. My parents afterwards said, "Well, we don't have the money now so maybe sometime when you graduate." So as I was getting ready to go into the kitchen all bummed out, my dad came in with another large squarish box and handed it to me...suffice it to say, it was my MBP! I was soo happy!
Dude ...
Get her a macbook for christmas. Because seriously think about this. If you want to get her a MBP because of speed or whatever, what is she really gonna use the computer for. PLus think about how happy she will be christmas day when there is something under the tree for her to open and then you know what you'll be getting after that. It wont have the same effect as her getting a card that says, ill buy you a macbook if mac world has a new one comming out and if they dont then ill get you the one i should of got for you in the first place. Also really, is she gonna want the latest and greatest, and the macbook is still very sexy and very new, or is she gonna want something under the tree.
I would say wait as well, because you never know what's going to come out at the MacWorld Expo.

Most of the posts in this thread are from people (guys) already waiting to see if they'll be able to afford whatever Beta Apple drops in January. If you want to get your wife a computer, I'd suggest getting her the Macbook now. She isn't going to care about the difference between what's out now and what's out in a month; what will matter most to her will be the new computer you got her. If she doesn't already post on MacForums, she's not going to appreciate an empty box with a "three more weeks, baby!" note in it. Think like a husband, and not like a Mac geek.
So, it's Christmas Eve Vapor... What route did you go with?
