Dan Macbook Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Is it worth waiting till spring next year to buy a macbook? Vista, DX10 cards and Leopard come oput next year, so would this mean Apple will change what graphics card they put in the macbook or do you think it wont change. I know DX10 is windows, would it affect Apple.? This is the Macbook im goin to buy.

non sequitur Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 i doubt they would change the gma 950 in a consumer notebook, but hey, you never know. i bet theres just gonna be like an lcd upgrade or something, but unless you cant afford leopard(probably $130) when it comes out you should go for the macbook.

Eric C Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I'd say it's worth waiting not for the graphics, but to see what CPUs will be used next. The Core Duos are nothing to write home about and in some cases are not even fater then a G4 or G5. It may be worth your while to wait for a Core 2 Duo Conroe or whatever mobile equivalent of that exists in the coming months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassJAw Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Then when you wait for this, something else will be coming out soon, its a never ending process. Don't take into account these things really unless your 2 weeks away from the new tech. that interests you. Just buy it if you really need it, or wait if you don't really need it.

Swad Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I'd say at least wait until next month, when the Core 2 Duo chips are supposed to be in (hopefully the MB and the MBP). (Moved to Buying) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha thats computers for you.. I'd say at least wait until next month, when the Core 2 Duo chips are supposed to be in (hopefully the MB and the MBP). Next month or couple? Will the new Core affect the price becasue my budget for my mac is no more than £1000. Where whould i find out about news on the macbook ect.
