Re: Wait for new Macbook Pro?

It sounds like you are getting two different answers here. One says "wait because new MBP will drop soon, and if you don't like it, the current models will drop in price a bit."

The other says new MBP may not arrive until next year, and in any case it may take awhile for PP or Avid to offer updates that optimize their use.

I constantly face this issue, and try to watch the rumor sites and guess timeframes. But for everyone who has been waiting for "iPhone 5", which now looks like it may arrive a YEAR beyond original rumors, waiting can be simply watching your life pass by.

My advice; if you cannot trade up the Dell as per advice on Mercury Engine support, if you want a Mac, then wait until June. If no announcements are imminent, and you MUST begin a job in FCPX, then you gotta pull the trigger.
