hi guys, on the lookout for a laptop and just cannot decide on which windows laptop to go for so iv decided to take the plunge into the mac end of things and am planning on ordering an MacBook Pro.

Just wondering would now be the best time to buy or is it worth holding off for any new releases this year? I have fancied a mac for a long long time but never had the £££ to afford one.

I know leopard is due out sometime in q1 but that would just be a simple upgrade, im more interested to know what hardware updates are likely if any. Im thinking that as it just has been upgraded to core2duo that there are not likely going to be any updates for a good while.
Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Tnx

i dont think id wait for the new os as its handy enough to upgrade when it arrives. I need it quite soon anyways. I can cope just fine with my outdated pc so it will probably be the same with a new MBP too i guess.

You do realise you'd need to pay extra to upgrade to Leopard? I'm not sure from your posts :)

yeah im aware of that - i am eligible for student discount so it shouldn't cost a whack!

edit: does it normally take a few days for them to arrive if they are being customised?

Leopard is gonna be £50/60 with education discount as 10.3 and 10.4 were.

Also, Concorde fan? :p

your dead right... this beauty is missed! I was on it when it came to Aldergrove as part of its retirment tour. Saw it at heathrow a few times too.

Have decided that I am gonna go for a Macbook pro at the weekend all being well. Can anyone recommend me a list of apps that are worth downloading for it???

You're probably looking at 10-14 days delivery -that is, unless they now ship faster. But when I ordered mine it took the best part of 2 weeks to arrive.

just rang up to confirm how long they take to arrive and guy said 3-5 days. Just need to check the balance on my cards tomo and hope to order then!
