[QUOTE="Gonestarfishing, post: 465092, member: 29204"] Hi all! My 3 year old IBM is slowly starting to self destruct. It started a few months ago with the power plug going wonky, now the cd burner won't burn cds, and to top it all off one of the metal hinges cracked completely in half! The thing has never been dropped or treated roughly, but I do carry it to school with me in a padded backpack (oh the horrors). I know that Leopard is coming out sometime in October, and I was hoping to be able to make it until then with my gimpy IBM but honestly I'm really itching for a new laptop and I don't know if I can wait that long. Would it be worth it to limp my dying PC until October or would it be worth it to buy a macbook now and buy Leopard when it comes out? Does anyone anticipate Mac releasing newer versions of macbook or macbook pro when Leopard is released? Are there any advantages to buying a macbook later on with Leopard already loaded onto it versus buying one now and loading it later (besides extra money spent to buy Leopard)? The bottom line is that I'm wondering if I buy now, is something newer going to be released in a few months? Sorry if this is a bit long winded/convoluted but it's been a loooooong week at work ;D [/QUOTE]
