Hmmmmmm This will make you have second thoughts about purchasing a MacBook, eh?

..."They can't get enough Core Duo (chips)," said my source. He also said that if he were me, he probably wouldn't order one of the new MacBook Pros. I asked if there would be MacBook replacements for the 17-inch and 12-inch PowerBooks, but he said, "Oh, it's much cooler than that. Much cooler." - Leander Kahney

Not really. There's always something newer and better just around the corner if you wait around for it. I'm sticking with my order for the 1.83 GHz version, and I expect that I will be using it until the AppleCare expires at the very least. I don't need the latest and greatest anymore, I just want a nice box to run OSX on.

The rumors are killing me! I was really hyped to get a new 12" dual core based on the rumor mill when MacWorld revealed only a 15" PowerBook. After wringing my hands for two days - and seeing that Matt had ordered his - I finally succumbed to my compulsive disorder and ordered my 1.83GHz, 2G, 100GB, 7200rpm MacBook today. But alas, my obsessive nature kept me in bondage to the same rumor sites and I began to feel a sinking feeling that I had ordered too soon. My suspicions were finally given teeth when I looked at the latest entry from Matt. As I reached my bottom, I declared this stops now! I'm sticking to my order and will take delivery of my new MacBook in February even if Steve himself announces a faster, cheaper, lighter, lower power, brighter, ipod compatible, video capable, quadruple core, alien inspired machine that is loaded with and bootable from Windows XP, Vista, OS X, SUSE, Amiga, and OS/360 tomorrow. I'm getting off the elevator here.
