My gf is looking to get new laptop and im trying my best to persuade her to get a wee macbook - its just for college stuff, surfing, office apps etc so spec isn't that important really so im thinking of getting her the middle spec one with 2gb RAM.

I know these have been updated recently but what are the likely updates for june? Any speedbumps wouldn't make any difference for her usage requirements but things like multitouch could be cool. Anything else worth waiting on?

Her current laptop is currently messing up big time so will more than likely order soon rather than wait but wanted to check with the pros on here.

Thanks!
 
I think so too. A small chip bump will not be of any concern as I have said and I wouldn't be expecting new models or anything. Multitouch likely to be added? Again its probably something she won't use but im just curious!
 
Cheers for that. I think the length of the wait would be too much considering that any bumps won't be noticeable for her required usage. Will tell her to order ASAP then. Is it worth going for the Applecare?

If it's just for basic stuff, surely the cheapest one makes more sense? You can get 2GB of compatible RAM for £22 or so.

I wanted bigger hard disk and RAM so it made more sense to go for the middle spec one. Might be using parallels on it for her windows apps she needs so it made sense.
 
just ordered it and told the guy I was ordering on behalf of my gf who is a student and he asked for proof of being a student. Was surprised that they even asked as I thought it was meant to be easy to blag it! She is a student so there is no issue but was surprised nonetheless.
