<p>Is there a new version of the Mac Book Pro coming out? I am a high school senior. I have received a scholarship that will pay for my college funds. My financial aid person told me to buy a laptop and bring a receipt to her. If I do, she will include it in my tuition and the scholarship will pay for it. She also told me to buy it the sooner the better. The max the scholarship will pay is $2500.00 I was thinking if I should just go ahead with the current MBP or do you guys think there will be MAJOR changes...If it is minor, then I might just get it now...if there are major changes then I am not sure...please help!!!</p>
<p>There are rumors saying MAJOR changes come June....
Apple</a> Notebooks to See Major Design Changes? - Mac Forums</p>
<p>Take them for what you want.</p>
<p>the main changes for the summer are supposed to be cosmetic. </p>
<p>they will switch to the new montevo line of processors supposedly, but besides that no performance improvments have been confirmed....</p>
<p>When you are going Apple, a cosmetic change is a big deal.</p>
<p>Also the latest intel processor in itself will be a performance improvement, no?</p>
<p>The new processors aren't supposed to be a huge leap, they should be slightly faster and use less energy, but not much besides that.</p>
<p>macbook aiiiiiiiiiiir.</p>
<p>Why not wait? If they don't introduce anything new, the price should remain the same.</p>
<p>If they do (which everyone is expecting), lower energy usage by the processor= better battery life & less heat. And there might be other improvements...</p>
<p>well...does anyone know when they come out...b/c the forms are due at the end of may...</p>
<p>Well it would AT THE EARLIEST be June, since that is when the processesor is released. AT least form y understanding.</p>
<p>if you need to buy it by the end of may, buy the mbp now. the updates won't come until june the earliest. also, I think most of the cosmetic updates are for the macbook, not the macbook pro. the macbook pro already looks pretty tight.</p>
<p>nice going on the scholarship btw!</p>
<p>oh thanks....it just stinks that it comes out new this year and I have to buy an older looking version...but I should be happy :)</p>
<p>oh..one last thing....is mac hard to manage...this is my first time getting a mac...i will probably be majoring in Biology.....I am going to Emory College..</p>
