Should I return my Macbook Pro bought on Jan 19?
I hear a new updated version of the macbook pro will be coming out anytime now, and I would hate to see that happen considering i just bought one. I have until Feb. 2 to, and would make me cash out an extra 200$ for restocking. FYI i bought the base one 1999$ at an actual apple store
overall i love it to death but im in that consumerist mentality always wanting the best...
so should i:
a) wait till jan 28-Feb1 and see if there is any more news. if there is on a set date, return it. if not, keep the one i got now
b) return it and wait
c) keep what i have
also can someone PLEASE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS:
-if i took it back, i know i would have to pay a 200$ restocking fee...but would i be refunded the tax too? cuz thats another 200$ in itself...
-also, if i were to, would it be wise/unwise to reinstall mac os x with the cds? cuz i put some software on it such as Microsoft Office 2008, Limewire, etc.

No, you hear rumors that a new updated version of the MacBook Pro will be released soon. You don't base purchasing decisions on rumors. Look. The MacBook Pro is a technology product. As such, it is perpetually within months of a new version. You have a good machine that you seem to like. It is a waste of financial, mental, and emotional resources to fret over rumors.
The other burn would be losing $200 for essentially a few days use of the current machine. It would have to be one spectacular update indeed to make me feel better about throwing that kind of money away.
the penyrn chips have shippedddddd
7 days left!
It's not worth it to return your current one, pay the restocking fee, then to buy a new one for the same or possibly greater price for only a few updates that aren't completely essential anyway.
Keep what you've got.
