I’m waiting on when they release a 12/13″ MacBook Pro model, but since my PB is only 1.5 years old, I’ll probably not be getting a new one for a couple more years.

On the other hand, I’m seriously considering getting an intel 20″ iMac — a nice, quiet, fast machine and the footprint is sweet! It will probably be next year, though, after Adobe releases their OSX native intel versions of Photoshop and InDesign. And after I pay off some more of my basement remodel.
