Forums _ Tech Help _ When will the next Macbook Pro come out?
Posted by: mockingbird Oct 8 2010, 04:26 PM
Will it be available near the end of 2010 or the beginning of 2011? I'm planning on using the Macbook Pro mainly for personal usage / school projects.

so far, it doesn't look like it will be released this year.

MacBook Pros just got updated back in May. I wouldn't expect anything before the winter.

did sum research and the macbook pros are ending their cycle soon, so i think next year is a safe bet

There's a good chance they'll be updated in a month or so, so I'd hold off on buying one for now. So says http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Pro, at least.

Wait until at least after Apple's "Back to Mac" event tomorrow.

thank you! perfect time before my birthday.
yeah i heard about that.. i heard that they were going to talk about the macbook air though.

I'll probably end up buying one come July or August, hopefully a new one comes out around then. Even though I already have a regular macbook, it'll be four years old then and the fact that school's going to actually 'require' me to have a laptop seems like a valid enough excuse to buy one.

Anyone who is thinking of buying one should do so before 2011, changes to tax laws you can be given a tax credit for the purchase of a computer used for educational purposes. probably only applies to college and above...

^forrrrrrrealz, they are gonna take away the tax credit in 2011? well doesn't that suck..

bitches
what size did you get
Posted by: gojira Oct 23 2010, 11:13 PM
is anybody getting the air
Posted by: Maccabee Oct 24 2010, 01:24 AM
My friend has one and it's actually not that bad. It would be better if it had the trackpad that the macbook pro has.
You know those people who treat all there things like crap and don't really care? Well I have a friend like that and she owns one, uses it every day, and it has yet to break from it's repeated 10 foot drops on a daily basis.
Whether they upgrade or not you'll still have a great laptop. Just not the newest one.
Also; I think I'll wait for Lion to come out instead of upgrading to snow leopard. What are they gonna name the following operating system? I can't think of anything in the cat family that's bigger than the lion.

sabre-tooth. however it doesn't have the same ring to it.
Posted by: ButtsexV2 Oct 24 2010, 04:59 PM
f*ck the air they've got terrible specs and cost the same as a regular macbook, which actually is a good laptop.
Posted by: ButtsexV2 Oct 24 2010, 05:00 PM
sabre tooth makes me think of cavemen.
I bet it will be easy enough for a caveman to use

yeah.. mission control looks pretty rad too
knowing apple, they'll have some sort of scheme to make it sound cool.
mhmm, i still don't get why macbook air would still cost more than a regular macbook if the specs are inferior compared to a regular macbook. like wtf, more $ on portability? shouldn't notebooks cost more less than a regular laptop? yeah a macbook air isn't necessarily a net book but that's what it seems like apple is making the air seem like.

Wo, didn't realize that apple just came out with a new air. Peed a little when I watched the ad.
