To all the Mac experts here, when can we expect the next batch of Macbooks and/or iMacs? I am seriously considering a Mac for personal use, and thinking of either Macbook or iMac. Was so close to doing an online order today, as its the last day for the Uni deal (free iPod Touch) here in Australia, but was convinced by both my brothers to wait for Apple to introduce Macs with Intels new i3, i5 and i7 processor.

It's not that I am impatient, but as far as I know, Apple tends to update their products every 6 months to a year, so it would be quite upsetting if I buy one, and they update it in the next 2-3 months. Cause in 2008, I waited and waited until it was time for me to leave to Australia already, and Apple hadn't announced any new Macs, so I thought I'd go for a cheap option and got myself a RM3,xxx Sony Vaio. That's why I don't know now if its worth waiting or to get it now. It's too late for me to get the Uni deal now I think, as they said that the offer ends on the 29th March.

So anyone know when we can expect new Macbooks and iMacs? Any response at all would be much appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: Oh, and rest assured that this isn't one of those "I want a Mac" topics that are opened for no reason. I am very serious about this purchase. So I hope the response is serious too. It's a big step for me, cause I have never used a Mac before.

That's the issue now. My brother bought the unibody Macbook which was aluminium, and then a few months after, they released the Macbook with white body, and bumped the rest to Macbook Pro.

That's why I want to know when the next update is. Cause the moment it gets updated, I'm not going to hesitate, and straight going to buy it. I just need to know when will it be.

Guys, I walked in to the Apple store again today... the guy laughed at me cause i walked in 4-5 times and never buy anything... but today i did it... finally got myself an iMac! first time Mac user, so i will be in these sections more often for advice... got the lowest imac, but to be honest, apart from the integrated graphics, its good enough for me... i am so far loving it, altho it has only been 15 minutes of usage...

Thanks! Looking forward to the awesome experience as time goes!

I have messed around with it in the library and all, but not so deep la... Will learn as i use it more and more...

haha no la... so far 500gb unused... all i did was register the imac, sync my Mail to my email, and set up internet... and LYN of course! thats all...
