    Here they go

    Will the price go uo because of Santa Rosa coming onto the platform?
    Will the price go when leapord gets installed on them?

    The reason i am asking is because i do not have alot of cash to spend when i buy it and well i want to make sure that apple wont raise the current prices on the macbook when all this new tech comes out.

    Nopes and nopes. Of course that's what USUALLY happens so I can't confirm it to 100% but I see no reason for Apple to raise the prices.

    Apple usually just upgrades the specs of their machines and keeps the price around the same. If anything I'd expect a slight price drop for the macbooks because the technology is getting so much cheaper. (by slight price drop I mean maybe a hundred bucks).

    prices always go down. the fact is that the change is small enough that whether you buy this one or that one you will be faced with the same kind of question about the same time in the future either way. by the time you get to the limit of either one of these, you will face the same struggle.

    it's not about saving 100, it's about getting what you need when you need it. pay yourself $12 /hr. If you research and look at rumours for 10 hours you just wasted $120 worth of productive time!
