I'm looking to buy a new laptop and with the Ivy Bridge CPUs coming out in 2 months, I'm trying to decide whether or not to wait for them or to just get it now. I've read that the IB CPUs will be more powerful and also use less battery power, which is obviously important for a laptop.
The main purposes of the laptop would be for taking notes/doing homework in college and entertainment between classes(gaming would be included). Normally I'd be a pc guy, but the battery life of a macbook has been tempting me quite a bit. For a desktop I'd definitely go pc, but I have to say I like what I've seen from putzing around on a display copy. I'm also aware that it may be considerably longer for a macbook to come out with an Ivy Bridge CPU.
Any opinions and comments would be appreciated.
