Hey guys so I just wanted some advice here on what to do... I'm planning on getting a 15" retina MacBook Pro within the next month or two. I'm an architecture student so I'll be running some pretty intense apps (autocad, illustrator, photoshop, rendering software, along with parallels running things like revit.) I know that the current gen rMBP can handle all of this but my question is if I should wait for the rumored nex gen ones coming out soon. Is it worth waiting for Haswell? I'm not overly concerned about battery life improvements since it'll be plugged in most of the time. My question is if Haswell will provide sufficient processing power improvements over what they currently have right now? Also, they will likely be getting the new SSD that are in the new airs... How much faster will those SSD's be compared to now?
I'm studying abroad this coming year in Italy so I would want to buy it before I leave in the end of August. I don't want to buy it while I'm in Italy since it'll be more expensive. I know that nobody knows besides those at Apple but what do you all think are the chances of the new rMBP coming out before the end of August?
Sorry for the long post! Thanks anyone for the feedback
