Tempted to wait again

Actually its more than likely that the upgrades will be announced at Apple Expo. However I don't think they will be shipped out before the 16. Most of the Apple promos end on the 16. I think Apple would want to get rid of all their old machines before people start taking advantage of the promos with the upgraded ones.

same here. the very next day i ordered my mbp online. 15" glossy screen, 2.16ghz, 1gb ram, 7200rpm hd. i am very happy with my machine.

my mbp is a later revision and doesn't suffer from any of the mooing, overheating and other issues that we've all heard about.
 
Waiting always sucks , but you end up happier in the long run.

The trouble is keeping your budget from going to other sudden catastrophes while you wait.

I put my last upgrade budget in a 3 month CD to keep it safe from any sudden impulse decision.

Merom's will be a much better processor in the long run.

I'm waiting too, ready to buy 2 MacBooks, but I'm not jumping the gun until I know all my alternatives next month. Upgrade, Price Drop On Existing Models and Refurb Offers.

It's always best when you know all three of those options together.
 
I'm waiting because I'd like to see if the MBP gets a subtle redesign. I really like the keyboard from the MB and, apparently, this is less likely to leave (permanent) marks on the screen like on my PBG4.

The magnetic latch is neat too. Also, I'm looking for at least 160 GB of hard disk space and it would be nice if the HD and RAM were as easy to change as in the MB.

It also makes no sense that the 15" MBP has no FW800 even though the 17" does.

Surely some of these advancements are on the way to the MBP. Luckily I already have a mac so I'm prepared to wait.
 
Well I'm happy with my choice :D I am not worlds most patient person and Im sure ill be mega happy when it arrives
 
The merom will be a much better computer. Go on cancel it again. :D

(and end up on an Apple blacklist for habitual cancellers)

What's the rush? Don't you already have a Mac Mini?

(Let's see if we can get him to change his mind again. :D )

Somewhere I'm going to put in my siggy that I'm a girl :D and nope not changing my mind again. Not playing the waiting game forever then I'll decide I want to wait for Leopard etc etc (Gotta stop playing the waiting game sometime) I really have wanted a MB or MBP since a few months ago
 
I dont neccesarily want merom. I just dont want to spend the same amount for the exact same specs people have been getting for the last 3-6 months. In the pc world then specs change much faster so waiting even a month has benefits. But in the mac world you get the same specs until the monday before a super secret release and then suddenly your $1500 buys half as much as it couldve if you waited.

Its tough.
 
Well then congratulations, enjoy your new MPB. At least until tuesday when they release... oh wait I've said too much... :D

(I'm so evil... if I was a genius I'd be an evil genius.)

No seriously, you'll love it.

Well if they released it Tuesday I could always send it back (you get 10 days to send it back or something right? :D) I seriously doubt it will be this Tuesday though
