They revised the MacBooks three months after I bought mine. I was upset for about 30 seconds and then I realized that I have a completely capable machine that will do everything I need to do right now.
Yeah, I'm saving my pennies for a MacBook Pro, but does that mean I regret getting my MacBook? Not at all. It's still a great computer, and it still turns heads. Don't worry about constant upgrades. Get the computer you need now and enjoy it.
I also have a MacBook that is 1 year old and it could not be better, its a fantastic lappy and does all that I ask of it, I also have just got a iMac 20" for my desktop, that too is fantastic. There will always be a newer model around the corner....thats life! I will upgrade my Macbook in 2 years time, until then im happy. The main thing with Macs is they still have a good resale value, even after 3years, unlike most Windows Computers. I have just seen a 2yr old MacBook go for £466 on eBay.

dude! I JUST bought my MBP 2.5ghz yesterday! I knew that as soon as i bought this thing they were going to do something different to them. I swear I can never stay ahead of all of this. DAMMIT.

Right, you can't stay ahead of it. No one can. Computer equipment will continue to improve, and Apple will continue to release new configurations and designs. There is always an update around the corner, so just enjoy your brand new laptop. When the new model comes out, you can admire it and regret that you didn't wait for it, or you can remember that for the last several months, you had a brand new, powerful computer in your lap.
Well it still will be rather powerful even after an update is released.
But the issue to me is not that apple has released an update. But will there be any noticeable boost in performance when compared to the mac I have now with the tasks I do on it now. And for me the answer is no. I believe it'll be no to most people too.
Sure those extra .2 ghz or little bit better graphics card are lovely to have in theory but why upgrade if those extras will be largely unused.
They won't remove the backlit keyboard imo... They will probably make it thinner, and possibly larger trackpad. But that's about it I think for the redesign.

Yeah i think you are right, they def. wont take the backlit keyboard away, thats one of the MBP's key features. But i wish they would put it on the Macbook lol
i really hope they dont change it soon because i just got my blackbook and i love it, if a diffrent better looking one comes out its going to drive me crazy, especially if the current ones drop in price.....thats going to be a bummer!!!!
If/when it does come out, the current one WILL drop in price. The new ones will most likely be the same price you payed, and the refurb ones will drop a few hundred dollars to get rid of old stock. It is what happens in technology, it advances.
