Expected arrival times for Apple products
This is a great idea, and is especially pertinent to Mac fans who care about the hardware they are using.<p>Since Apple does not discount old hardware (even with 2-3 year old video cards, they charge the same amount as a brand new updated mac the very next week[1]), people buying a Macbook pro at the wrong end of the timeline can get totally shafted on equipment, especially from a price-per-performance view.<p>That feels a little dishonest to me, but most people don't seem to mind, and its not as if the hardware they are selling is ever <i>bad</i>, it will just be twice as good next week, and sold for the exact same price.<p>So it seems that it is one again one of the worst times to buy a Macbook pro.<p>[1] I wrote two articles in 2010, one in Feb and one in April, which detailed the times as the worst and best to buy an MBP, comparing prices and hardware.
