I was thinking about waiting for the new gen of 13 inch to come out, with a better processor, but I realized that they might not even upgrade the processor at all.. and I would be waiting until like summer  Or on the other hand I could just buy a 15 inch this week, have an i5 (the processor I prefer), and have it for my spring semester. Which would you guys do? |

Do you need it now? Buy it now. Can you wait? Then wait. Wel what if they don't upgrade the processors? Then get a 15" with the i5 then, they should be a bit cheaper. If it were me, I would get it now as I don't expect a big update from Apple. |

Refer to my post. If you can wait, wait. If you need it now, buy it now. Apple isn't always known to be the first company on the technology bandwagon. |

WE just dont know what Apple will do with the Upgrades ... As the MBA took quite a while to update the machine .... Need Now Get Now If not wait until Maybe they might update it ...  Dont forget to use the Reputation System if someone has helped you out !!! “I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom ….”― Edgar Allan Poe |
