[Ti] buy now at great price or wait

[NaegeleWDC at aol.com]

Sam Hotchkiss makes sense:

"Don't wait.  Seriously-- you're getting a steal of a deal.  Take it,
run, look back, laugh maniacally, run some more, then scream 'SUCKERS!' at
those of us who paid upwards of $3500 for our decked out TiBooks.  grr"

I bought my Ti 800 almost a year ago now, and love it.  Sure the 17" is great, and the new 15" will be great too, but it seems you are getting a wonderful deal pricewise, which is not apt to occur again soon.

However, Tarik Bilgin is right too when he says:

"I'd ask myself this question:

"Is a 15 inch AlBook in (1,2,3?) months time including a better case, 
faster processor, better graphics, better screen and Bluetooth inside 
at $3000 worth more to me than:

"A 15 inch Ti today for $2250.

"Personally I'd wait, due to the fragility of our Ti cases compared to 
the AlBooks, but that's just me."

I had "paint bubbling" right from the get-go, but Apple replaced the parts with a day-turnaround, and I haven't had any problems since.  The Al's are sweet, so the issue may ultimately boil down to one of pricing.
