I'd say wait until the first of the year unless you HAVE to buy one now.

I am also a musician if you don't mind me asking which size screen are you considering getting? I am stuck between the 13 and 15. I am guessing that you do some music recording.

I think this questions is pretty subjective and is obviously going to differ from person to person. I find that some people can tolerate a smaller screen and some people can't so they opt for the 15".

The easiest way to figure this out is by going to your local apple store, or what ever store that carries apple products and do a side by side comparison in person.

Just because something works for someone else doesn't mean it's right for you. In the end you are the person that needs to make these decisions because you are buying it not some other person.

True. Believe it or not I went and compared at the apple store today and still couldn't decide. Your defiantly right but I just wanted to see what some people will recommend for me. ( I currently have a 17" Dell XPS which= HUGE)

Did you make an appointment for a one on one? They can probably help you better if you voice some of your concerns and what you are going to be using your machine for.

I'd recommend a 15, as I'm a musician and the 13 is a bit small. Or get the 13 and an external monitor.
