What time of year are Macbooks generally updated?

[ssbearsfan]

Hi all,

I am looking to get rid of my piece of garbage HP laptop and buy my first mac. I know MBP's are about to be updated but I am not interested in spending that type of money on a laptop. I feel the Macbook will fit my needs well. (Office, internet, itunes)

I want to buy sometime in the near future when the back-to-school sale starts so I can get a free ipod along with it.

Do you think the Macbook will be updated sometime during or before that sale?

Historically they come out on Tuesday. I hope that helps, .

Even on leap year?

Does anyone know if Apple is still going to do the "buy a macbook, get a free ipod" this summer?

I'm sure before school starts again in the fall they will be doing something like that.
