is it really going to be that much better

depends on whether or not you'll use the features like time machine, spaces, new finder and desktop, etc.

Personally I probably would not use all the features, but I'm still going to buy it, because it's pretty cheap.

is it worth waiting to buy a computer

If you need a comptuer straight away then just buy it, you could always upgrade later on and its pretty cheap newyz

I think the topic of "Should I wait for Leopard" be a sticky thread.

Everyone seems to ask that question.

Maybe start a sticky thread with pro's/con's and personal experiences with the MacBook Pro because that seems pretty popular too. Helps people with purchasing decisions.

Just an idea.

Personal choice. My advice is to do a side-by-side comparison. I did and chose the black MB. Soon after I got it, the LED MBP came out. Now I tell people if they are going to wait for Leopard—get the low-end MBP. Best machine for the money, running the newest OS. Nothing like it out there!

well i have a mb c2d and love it my macbook was an upgrade from a ibook g4 (was my first mac since my dad got a mac2 from work when i was 8) and i would like a pro for more power as i work with a lot of film 3d graphics and hi-rez photography this kills anything no matter how much power it has now my macbook has been doing the job grate for just over 6months now.

i am planning an upgrade to a pro soon but am waiting for leopard as i think there will be an upgrade of the macbook pros around that time and also means i dont have 2 splash out on a copy of leopard

i just hope the upgrade is to the 4 core cpu's :D:D:D

personally i'm waiting till leopard...
If you watch the WWDC7 vid it shows you wot ur waiting for....
Nothing HUGE.. but i'm waiting on the fact that with a new OS maybe they'll bring out a new range G6???
Who no's but I don't wanna buy a macbook now and kick myself when a new model that at standard is twice the speed and twice as light in 3months...
(this is an exaduration but u get my point)

If you can just hold out... Oct ain't that far away and my guess is that leopard will take 512Mb min to run (Vista takes 1Gb!!!! so poss leopard will go even that high!!!)... so very poss an upgrade on standard comps RAM when Leopard is released?????

I've spoke to a few people and they all think the same..
