Will I actually be able to hold out long enough to get the brand-spankin’ new hotness? I’ll be surprised if I can hold out. Tax returns have come back; bill are paid; money is saved; and it’s TIME. So as I was trying to figure out if I wanted to just wait, this comes through this weekend:
What does that all mean? Well, basically (if this is real), the new MacBook Pros could be clocking in about 20% faster than the current models (which were last refreshed in June 2009). Since 2006, MBP refreshes have happened about every 8 months. Guess what? It’s been 8 months, Intel announced the notebook Arrandale processors at CES, and Macworld starts this week. I’m not sure I would actually upgrade to this, but it’s worth holding out to see if I can save some money on the original “apple” of my eye (see what I did there?): the 3.06GHz 15″.
Meanwhile, Amy has been watching Cupertino’s newest creation, the iPad, pretty closely.
I think it’s brilliant for her computing needs (although DAMN a forward facing camera would mean she could get rid of the laptop altogether), but it would take a few version changes before I would think I need one.
Anyway, now that we’re debt-free we can actually save up for some cool stuff. And I think these things are currently topping the list.
So this is just a concept of how a new iPhone could look with iMac-style form-factoring, but I like it. A lot.
