If what you can get now is what you need now, get it now. As previously posted, no matter what you get and when you get it, there will be something better in a few months. That will be as true next year as it is today.

The depreciation for macbook duo is less than 15% as opposed to macbook pro which is 50% to 75%. I think the new macbook and macbook pro have more common specs than the old powerbooks and ibooks.
If I were buying new macbook looks like the way to go.
