[QUOTE="Kash, post: 653707, member: 23444"] If you have no reason to buy one right away, then you might as well wait to see if Apple updates the notebooks. No point in getting one now just to have new ones come out a few weeks later. As for the learning curve, it generally varies on how good you are with computers and how willing you are to forget the Windows way of doing things and embracing the OS X way. It took me literally hours to get used to the new operating system, and about a couple of days till I got proficient at it. OS X is actually very simple to use, the only reason it'll take somebody a while to learn it is because everyone will try to do things the Windows way. Though once you figure out how to do things the Mac way, and realize that things really are simpler and more intuitive, you'll become proficient very quickly. I figure a month before school starts up would still give you plenty of time to get used to the machine. If the rumors are true that the update is coming in June, that'll give you an extra month to play around with the machine :D [/QUOTE]
