[QUOTE="Chris2121, post: 606124, member: 48853"] You were fortunate enough in January to have this site as well as many, many rumor sites (mac-rumors, appleinsider, etc.) at your disposal that would have told you a new model was due out very soon - you didn't bother to do your research? Companies like Dell, Sony, etc., don't have such reliable rumor sites and info from those companies rarely get leaked, so as an Apple consumer, if you had informed yourself enough, you would have known that an update was very imminent (it was actually due out in late January, but got pushed 4 weeks due to the release of the MBA). Seriously dude, it's not worth it to stay upset - just enjoy your new MB and be lucky that you are fortunate to get ANY computer, unlike the millions in the world who live in poverty, opression, etc. Even if you had waited for the new model, you'd be saying probably 2 years from now "yea, I gotta get rid of this piece of junk, there's so much better stuff out now." It happens to everyone. I got the new Penryn MBP, and the DAY I OPENED THE BOX, there was a few postings on mac-rumors.com about how the next MAJOR update will come in June - with a redesigned case, possibly better keyboard, and possibly Blu-Ray. But I can't see waiting that long for something that will be outdated in 2 years time anyway. So even if you had gotten the new Penryn model, you'd be facing the same feelings you are now in June...a delay of 3 months. Big deal. Just find comfort in knowing that no matter what model you buy, and no matter what time you buy it, it will be a worthless outdated piece of junk over the course of time. This is a GOOD thing, because it means technological progress which benefits us all. It's not just you. I have a friend who baby's his laptop like it's his infant first-born. Wipes it down every day, dusts it every day, makes sure to wash his hands before he uses it, never takes it off his desk unless it's absolutely necessary (it's a desktop replacement to external monitor). I was telling him the other day, "dude, why don't you just use the thing so 2 years from now when you're selling it to get the latest and greatest that at least you can say you got some good use out of it for 2 years?" A computer with 2 year old technology that is clean and without scratches is worth a lot less than you'd think...In short: don't value any particular model too much, because it WILL be worthless in short order. Stop browsing these forums and rumor sites - go use your laptop! [/QUOTE]
