    Up to you really.
    Nobody's really sure when Leopard is coming out. Some poeple say March, others think later in the year.
    Personally, I don't think there's going to be a huge amount of difference, so I'd go ahead and get one now.

    i would say get one now as well. if you want you can always just upgrade to leopard when it comes out. and if u put off the purchase til leopard is released then you will hear about something else on the horizon and be put off until that... etc etc etc...

    Forget about Leopard. Apple said it would arrive late Spring, which would suggest early June at WWDC. There were some recent rumours about it arriving late March but that seems very unlikely imo.

    The Macbooks were only updated in November so right now is a perfectly good time to buy. Leave it much longer though and you'll end up waiting for Leopard, and then you'll end up waiting for the new Macbooks, and then there'll be something else - it's endless. If you want it now, buy it now.
