Why wait for new MBP? (Apple Newbie)
Hi,
In case i will buy the new MBP it will be my first Apple. I nearlly bought the recent model but then read here about a potential new Model. Now I have waited almost a month and took the time to investigate the Windows market, where i found some very good models as well (e.g. http://topgearelectronics.com/blog/?p=15910 ).
I don't really have to buy before First week of September and it doesnt have to be an Apple. I don't know if i wanna wait that long so i was wondering if there would be any benefit for waiting anyways. So i was wondering if you guys could give me advise. Here is what i wanna do with the Laptop
-Very heavy multitasking (Leaving 8-10 Word Documents open will ripping a DVD into a Video Format, do some minor Video and Audio editing (wanna cut out some parts of DVDs).
-I also wanna archive my whole DVD and CDs on the Laptop (its not that much, but i dont like Itunes)
- Dont wanna buy a new Laptop in the near future (my last Conpaq Laptop lasted me for 7 years very well and XP was fine with me).
What i do not want is to wait while Programs like Word are getting started (even when I am doing the Multitasking), the same with starting or closing the Laptop.
- I wanna get longest possible battery life (a possible reason to wait) and very easy portability
- I dont want my Laptop get hot ( I read a lot on the web of MBP getting very hot)
So should I wait for the new MBP? Will it make a difference anyways?
Thank you very much for your help!

One very viable strategy is to wait until Apple updates a product, then buy the previous generation, as they will be on sale in the clearance section of the online store.
