Mac Forum / General / Portable Macs / March 2007when is next processor upgrade for MacBook Pro?
It is time to upgrade my G4 PowerBook -firewire 800. I am on my 3rd motherboard and my AppleCare just ran out. My question is: how many times per year does Apple upgrade the processor speed and other basic component specs of the top of the line $2500 15" MacBook Pro? Obviously, they do it in JAN and in OCT for the Christmas market. Do they also do it in mid-year, e.g., JUNE? I can wait till June but not until October. Grateful for your shared knowledge. Can't get a straight answer from my Apple re-seller (The Brown U. Computer Store).

John, I suppose it would be a pisser to see a new sign go up for the Quad Core processor shortly after you purchased one of the last Core Duo machines. I actually moved on the MacBook Pro as soon as the Core 2 Duo and hard drive update occurred. I's been months now sitting at the cutting edge and I'm grateful for that. However, they could put plutonium in the next release and it would not slow down or diminish my computer in any way whatsoever. I suppose the best way to play the game is buy what you need now if necessary, but if not just relax till the next step is taken in the inexorable march of technology, then jump.

They are talking its a neutral situation. There are rumors of a major, major update in October. But there is supposed to be a new intel platform out in May. Will Apple go to it, who knows. If your happy with what you have wait. If you are not buy. Product MacBook Pro Recommendation: Neutral - Mid product cycle Last Release October 24, 2006 Days Since Update 143 (Avg = 182) I was waiting, when my Ti gave up the ghost I bought a MacBook Pro. Even over the internet and days before Xmas I had it in 2 days. |
