MacBook Pro Rumours? Can't Post

Today I was just about to order a spanky new MacBook Pro... Then the technician at Uni came over, asked what I was ordering and said "Oooooh I would'nt get a new one just yet because there are rumours floating about that around christmas time a 'newer' vesion may be arriving"...

So... Ive been hyped up for days, and now Im not sure what to do... PLEASE HELP!

Has anybody else heard anything.. Ive googled and found a few things but nothing that has convinced me, should I wait? Should I just go for it? Im not in great need for a new one but it would be nice!

Any advice? Because I really really don't know what to do now...

The MacRumors Buyer's Guide tracks release dates and product cycles, so is probably worth a look: http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/

There will always be a more powerful/cheaper/improved version just around the corner whenever you buy.

If you don't need one now then it makes sense to wait and buy in at a point further down the development chain (always assuming that you will still have the money available to do that).

I would certainly wait a month or so if you don't need one now, till the sharp corners are knocked off leopard.

If you haven't got it yet cancel it and order a new one.

Could mean one less node or fps for you.
Computer's were based on buyer's remorse.
buyer's remorse is directly in inverse proportion to moore's law. haha :)
