I think it will remain to be wrong to wait, provided you have needs today. So I concur that you should by the best your money can buy today. That said, I wouldn't purchase within a month from when I think Apple would present new products in my category, but that is a several months wait as products seldom can be had on release, so I'd only wait if my needs didn't exceed what my current hardware could deliver. Computerbuyers too seldom ask themselves what their true needs are.
