[QUOTE="Logan, post: 222158"] Well you can get it any time and press your luck. As you see here [url=http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=520159&tstart=0]Whining[/url] is reported ([url=http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=374397&tstart=90]75,000 views on this second link[/url]), [url=http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=474371&tstart=75]overheating[/url], if you plan to only run OSX be sure you have the neccessary [url=http://www.apple.com/universal/]universal binaries[/url] especially in [url=http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=384839&tstart=15]Office products[/url], [url=http://guides.macrumors.com/Universal_Binary_Games]games[/url], and [url=http://digitalphotography.weblogsinc.com/2006/01/20/universal-binary-not-until-cs3/] adobe products (photoshop)[/url] are supposably running laggy until the new release of CS3. If you plan to run [url=http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/]Bootcamp[/url] remember it's public beta, so don't rely on it hugely, honestly you see a rare problem here or there but I personally think if you want it and understand the above potential issues have at it! :) Lessen the price so I can get one later :D There's of course [url=http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=519825&tstart=135]people who believe these problems are RARE and you should buy the product anyways[/url], I think it's ultimately your decision. Oh, also remember OS X 10.5 is supposed to come out pretty soon (how soon? I'm not sure) so if you buy your product now there is a possibility you may be before this update. That's about all I can think that is potentially negative for you, if you see all this and still really want to get it right now, go buy one sir! :) [/QUOTE]
