Well now you have no computer, if you can live like that, then wait.. if you can't then don't... in the grand scheme of things, there will always be something newer and better if you wait, so i find it pointless to do so because you will be waiting forever.

As long as you have a PC to do your day to day tasks, waiting till mid December is not a bad idea. I am sure at some point of time Apple will introduce laptops with Core2Duo. However early result shows that the C2D has no performance increase compared to Core Duo. It is after all your choice. :)

I'm not sure about the Core2Duo - the desktop chips are fast but wasn't there a study that concluded that the mobile version only gave 7% speed increase? Hardly worth redesigning the logic board for that, really.
