JSn1™ Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 After more than a year of using Mac OS X in my PC, i got convinced that I needed a Mac, not a osx86 but a real one. Currently, my laptop is 14 inches and I would like to get a 13 inches laptop. I saw the black MacBook and it seems just perfect. And with the new graphics, it looks so cool. However, I just have the oportunity to purchase it between dec 25 - dec 30. I saw somewhere that there were coming new MacBooks *Pro, just MacBook Pro is getting updated? Do you think MacBooks are also getting an update? Should I buy now, or wait to the next year *No more than february? Thanks for your recommendations!

lessew Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I'd wait till after January Macworld if I were you, considering all the tablet rumors floating around. However, if price is a factor, maybe a new tablet isn't for you. I'd guess they'll be a little bit pricey initially.

Synaesthesia Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 The Macbook Pro will probably get the new 45nm mobile processors as soon as they are released sometime next year, and the macbooks some time after. But I wouldn't hold off my purchases for them, it depends on what is announced at Macworld in January.

JSn1™ Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 Well, in fact the price is not a limitation, I'm willing to spend up to $2,000. I don't like MacBook Pro, the black MacBook looks perfect for me. However I wouldn't like to get it now if its getting an update in january.

Azurael Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I'm almost certain the MacBook won't get an update in January... It's too soon since the last update, and things like new platforms/CPUs usually take a few months to 'trickle down' to the MacBook from the MBP. If you're really not interested in a MBP, you may as well get the MacBook now. Only thing that prevents me being certain about this is the ever persistent rumour of a 'small form factor' MBP - something like a 12/13" MBP depending on who you believe, which may be released in Jan. Then again, every significant event in the world of Macs has had such rumours preceding it for at least a year now.

Shrimp Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 JSN1, The Macbooks were just updated November 1st so they most likely won't get updated again until March or April of next year would be my guess. I to am purchasing a Macbook this month, the only thing that previously held me back was the graphics.

JSn1™ Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 Thanks! I will be purchasing it as soon as possible... Do you know if all the MacBooks at Apple Stores come with Leopard?

Azurael Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 All X3100 MacBooks come with proper Leo restore disks. Earlier machines sold after Leo's release would have come with a drop-in upgrade DVD, but every Mac sold after the release definitely comes with Leo.
