Need advice-- going to buy new MacBook pro
I'm finally going to make the switch from pc
But I wondering if now is the right time to buy a new MacBook Pro? as MacWorld is just around the corner.....
Also I still need the ability to run my windows apps- I assume 4gb of ram would be a must? I usually have quite a few programs running at the same time-- itunes,web browsers,photoshop,remote desktop, email....... ect...
Just wondering if there are new MacBook pros in the works?
or would it be safe to just wait till MW is over- to see if anything new is on the horizon?
thanks in advance

I'm in roughly the same position as you. I'd like to buy a 15" MBP, but I'm worried about the RAM limits. I think 4GB RAM should be just fine for a laptop for the next 1-2 years, but beyond that, I'm betting 8GB will be needed.
I don't see quad core MBPs coming out anytime before October 2009, but perhaps a minor speed bump and/or price drop is possible from what I've read online.
-> macbook pro is "mid product cycle"
