When should I get a MacBook Pro?

I've made up my mind on the basic 13" pro. I was going to buy it on June 5th, but I don't really think I should do that now. If possible I would like to get the machine with Lion installed already. Should I wait for WWDC? Its 4 days long so I guess I could wait it out, but would they release it the day of announcement, or would it be in a couple of weeks afterwards? I know this is all speculation, but I appreciate you input

Thanks :)
 
wait till next year for the MBP case redesign and the dramatic 3D transistor architecture of ivy bridge :D
 
Man, just go buy one. The hardware was just updated and they are terrific machines. Installing Lion will take about 30 mins in typical Apple fashion. You'll love it.

How much do you think the Lion update would cost?
 
If they do announce, and release, at WWDC anyone buying a MBP within a month or two before may also get a discounted price on Lion.

My guess is around $100, so it may be worth waiting for a little while. At this point, I personally won't be upgrading for a while, as I'm not a huge fan of what I have seen so far out of Lion.

That's what I thought, if waiting a week or two can save me a couple of bucks, then its worth the wait.
 
if you are a student, waiting to take advantage of a likely free iPod program is a good idea. (maybe this is currently happening)

I've heard that if you buy a laptop with snow leopard now you won't ever be able to upgrade to lion. :eek:

I think you should wait for whatever comes after Lion... nobody wants to have old technology!

a week or two? If lion is released in a week or two anyone who bought a computer will get a free upgrade, no sense in waiting for nothing.
