It’s about time I get a new Mac Pro, but I’m not sure that now is a good time to buy one
 MacRumors.com don’t recommend buying now because they say that Apple will probably release a new Mac soon. Historically there have been a new upgrade every 8-9 months, and the latest Mac Pro was released in January 2008, so…. http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Mac_Pro But then I read on several forums that Apple will probably not release a new Mac Pro anytime soon, because they’re waiting for a new processor which is estimated to arrive sometime in 2009 (?) Anyone here with more knowledge about this? |

Ill drop my few cents in:) Ive been planing to buy a Macbook - but they should get updated anytime soon, with Montevina Intel Dual core platform. However, for Mac PRo, they are waiting for Nehalem platform, which will be much stronger, faster and coming next spring/summer.
The question, you have to answer yourself is - Will you even use some Quad core processor? Do you really need the extra kick? Are you going to grab video in HD format and stuff like this? IF not - for recording music for exaple, the current Mac Pro will do magic for you:) Its insanely strong, as it is and will last you for years of rapid performace;) Btw. Mac is always enough
