I was planning on buying a Macbook in the next week or so but don't want to get screwed by buying one shortly before an upgrade comes out.

So, any word on a Macbook upgrade? When do you think one is likely?

Just guessing from previous years but before June and 10.6 VERY DOUBTFUL.

Going by previous upgrade times, you can expect the next upgrade to be sometime in the late Spring (April/May).

Ah yes, I should probably point out that it should only be a speed bump and nothing too substantial since the Macbooks were just redesigned recently. You'll see a minuscule speed difference between the Macbook you buy today and the updated ones that are coming in a few months.

So go ahead and buy the Macbook now if you want/need it. You won't be missing out on much if you wait.

Maybe they give macbooks the new 8 hours or something battery. Thats probably the only thing thats worth waiting.

OFC it will not be 8 hours as they should be smaller, but what about 5 or 6.

I'm still holding out on upgrading until they start going quad cored and USB3. I'm very content with what I have now.
