When to buy

new macbook pro

Do you think the next macbook pro will come out in January, February, or March?

Seriously, nobody knows. I doubt it's January because people have just spent their money on Christmas, so there aren't so many buyers for new one.

February looks very likely. For the last two Macworlds, Apple has announced notebooks. MWSF 08 MacBook Air, MWSF 09 17" Unibody MacBook Pro. But neither shipped until February.

My guess will be CES. Though I have heard stories that Apple will be there playing a large role, and then a story saying Apple will be there but not have such a big role.

Notebooks seem to get updated in Q1

Those "stories" are taken out of someone's hindquarters.
While it's very possible that Apple will attend CES in the future, or maybe even do a keynote and booths, doing so the year after leaving MWSF in a huff would make them look ridiculous, and Macworld look like the cuckolded husband.

This is were I believe I saw the story.

Though there are numerous stories saying they are not going.

Its like when just changed the nappy on a baby and he makes another mess.

How many times are you going to ask fenderjag?

History shows that Apple replaces their notebooks the day after you buy one.

So go buy one.

I can't see why Apple would pull out of a conference where they were the only star but felt pressured to come up with big product announcements every year, just to announce a major product at another conference where they have to compete with other big companies for media attention.

I personally think they like their own schedule, no MWSF, no CES, because Apple still gets front page news even when they release something, like they did a couple of weeks ago.

 

[tofagerl]

Exactly. Plus, the get to decide who to invite. They really like that...

I'm just gonna report all of his posts from now on. Knowing that one way or another, the same question will ALWAYS be asked by him. Please stop fenderjag. I hope others are willing to help me get him off of this forum and have him stop posting spam.
