- Your Mac's Specs
- MBP 13in 2010, MacMini 2009, Ipad2 64gb wifi, Iphone4 32gb
My Old trusty 2007 HP 17 inch - by then - high-end notebook is on death row...
So to preserve my HUGE pile of documents and software I have converted the entire machine with VMware and now it is running on my wifes MacBook Pro 13in
Eventually I want a new 17in Notebook and after having played with my wifes MBP I am totally convinced it will be a Mac
But then I saw recommendation on Macrumors.com NOT to buy current MBP's as they are supposed to be "end of life"
On the other hand - the only thing I would like to see on the current MBP 17in is a Blu-Ray reader/burner- but I don't even know if Apple will put Blu-Ray on the next generation or not ... I mean they have had plenty of time and opportunity to do this - but have chosen not to -so it is probably political
I guess I can "live in exile" on my wifes MBP for a while, so waiting a few months could be an option ... On the other hand I want a new 17 pretty soon
So - question is: To MBP NOW or WAIT ?
