I'm amazed at the number of people who STILL have not clued in to the fact that computers WILL get CHEAPER and MORE POWERFUL with the passage of TIME.

By all means, wait. All you lose is productivity.

Exactly! In June we'll most probably see the same people saying "let's wait until January coz I heard new updates are gonna be released and price gonna drop". We've seen too much of it already happening again and again.

It just goes to show that these people are not buying to fulfill a need, they're just buying for the sake of having the latest "it" gadgets and would not be using it in a productive way. Without a need to fulfill, it even makes less sense that they're waiting for specification bumps coz they're most likely to not fully utilize whatever extra GHz/extra cache/extra whatever that will be included in the next (and the next next) revision.

Since there's no productivity to lose in the first place, i guess they don't lose out. Let them wait I wouldn't want them to get whatever they're waiting to buy now, coz they'll just turn from people who wait to people who flood the forum with "omfg my mac only few months outdated dy " whenever a new revision is released.

Everyone is waiting because of the price, not spec ... i can get the current spec cheaper in 3 months time, why not wait? 8K is a lot of money, mayb not to you. Especially the money is coming out of my pocket, not my company, not my parents. If i can afford to change laptop every year, that is a diff story, so why not wait for 3 months for better spec to last longer or a cheaper price on current spec?

i agree with zealles.. if u can afford to wait without losing productivity, why not wait a couple months more?

For Macbook Pro, if you buy from Apple Online Store you can choose few options for the LCD.

-Matte Screen
-Glossy Screen
-High resolution LED Matte Screen (add $100)
-High resolution LED Glossy Screen (add $100)

This only applies for 17" model. So many options.

17" MBP is like desktop replacement; I oredi find the 15" heavy, can't imagine the weight of the 17"!

is it possible to change specs? and also just found out that imac has 1gb ram...

@almattitude_v1,
As in a customised unit?

Yea...

But... I don't think we have an Apple Online Store here in Malaysia.
Therefore, don't think there will be any BTO models available, unless you order and wait for a decade? *sarcastic*

Added on February 29, 2008, 10:54 pmI second that.. *Thinks himself wait while losing productivity, just want to get that damn thing!*
HOWEVER, not that longggGG~ Will wait for 1 or 2 more weeks. Even if you want to buy now, as mentioned in the previous post, NO STOCK! So, will definitely have to wait till the new Penryn-based MBP comes.

Called Mac Studio @ Low Yat just now... Base config of mbp, they will give a pair of heat balls (yeah, balls) and a sleeve case.

Not sure for Machines, but they are usually that stingy anyway...

No discount even you pay with cash! *Damn*

Update, update, update on promotions available please!

Added on February 29, 2008, 10:58 pmYes, this is true. But I'm afraid to say that the stock for mbp of this price (Merom-based) is out dy, from the forumers here! The only option is to get the new ones!

Added on March 1, 2008, 1:01 pmUpdate: MacBooks (with Penryn) is finally here! Available at Mac Studio @ Low Yat Plaza! Good luck.

wah so many ppl looking for mbp ahh???!!!!

Great, more kakis in mac family....

Macs these days are getting more and more well known

All thanks to the iPod cause that's where we start.

i thing Apple will use new design on this June update

i don't think so. More like since Apple "shift" to Intel. Ntg to do with "iPod".

Btw, till now i don't own any iPod But I own macbook

i think we start when Apple launch the new iMac on 1999

well i think because they start to use intel chip. that is why i start to buy apple product

We don't have an Apple Store in Malaysia, however you can still do a BTO. Drop by your favorite Apple retailer (I suggest Mac City) and ask a knowledgeable person. It'll take about a month, but it's still shorter than a decade

i'm afraid of that! coz planning to get MB or MBP soon... but if they updating design, then i dont wana get now...

like what MacDaNife say, if you need it for business.. than just get it now or else what you lose is only productivity
if you like me, still own a laptop which still functioning and doin it job, and what you want it just a upgrade of the device for whatever reason, why don just wait until june?
