There is precendent for the Macbook Pro being updated twice a year. Bottom line is that there is always something better waiting just a bit down the road. If you want to wait for the next great thing, you'll be waiting forever. If you're ready to buy and the current model suits you, then get it. If it doesn't, then don't. The Macbook Pro is an incredible machine, and the average user only has so much to gain by waiting for whatever comes next. If you wait until later this year to buy, then early next year something even better will come out.
