No one wants to buy a new computer today and tomorrow (or a week from now) have it already be obsolete when a new model is released. This is nearly doubly true with Apple, because you just never know what they are going to do. My wife comes home last night and says she needs a new Macbook to replace her 3 year old iBook G4. We were both fretting that Apple would release a new Macbook any day now, so should we buy?Thankfully, MacRumors has a great buyer's guide for iPods and Macs, and has a secion on the MacBook, which is where I created the above screenshot from
Conclusion It's OK to buy!
