One more day till the Apple MacBook Event. I’m stoked. I’m excited… but I’m trying my best to be cautiously optimistic. Why? My MacBook Pro still works great!
The truth is the majority of us already running on a Mac do not need a new MacBook or MacBook Pro, but we all get those knee-jerk reactions to drop the cash and buy the latest and greatest model. I have to admit, there’s a chance I may cave and buy one depending on the outcome of the event… But it’s probably not the smartest move.
My MacBook Pro is a few years old now but is still performing as solid as ever. I haven’t had any issues with the unit other than a freak battery issue that actually turned out to be a chronic problem for a lot of MacBook Pro users. Apple replaced my battery for me at no charge and I was on my merry way.
For those of you considering ‘making the switch’, this event could usher in a great opportunity to try out a Mac for the first time. Rumors have been lurking that the new line to be announced tomorrow will feature some MacBook’s at a very reasonable price-point. Try $800 or $900 for the base model. That brings the MacBook into competition with the Dell’s of the world. A great laptop at a very low price. Should be VERY interesting to watch sales of the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros, especially if there is a cheaper option.
So, I suppose the question of the day is this. If your MacBook or MacBook Pro is doing you just fine, how likely are you to drop more cash on a new one if the specs and pricing blow you away?
