I am a college student and I am planning to buy a new mbp but there are some problems.
I want leopard, ilife 07/08, and maybe iwork as well.
Apple is currently offering a free ipod which ends Sept 17th 2007.
If I buy now, I might not get the new ilife because that might be released with leopard in Oct. or August with the new imac. But I cant wait too long because then I wont get the ipod deal. Then there is leopard which debut sometime in October so I might be able to get some rebate on the new OS if I wait till Sept.17th.
The downfall of waiting is of course not having the mbp in my hand and basically waiting for nothing while I can use my mbp now.
Does anybody know what kind of rebate Apple might give to customers who buy computers so close to a new OS release and usually what does apple consider "a close enought" purchase to warrant a rebate on their new OS. Meaning, if I buy on Sept 17th, will that be sufficient for Apple to consider sending me a copy of leopard for free/discounted.
