Before making a purchase of a Mac or iOS device, make sure to consult our Buyer's Guide to find out if it's a good time to buy. For example, since a new iPod touch variant was recently released, it's unlikely another update is in the works for the near future, making it a good time to buy.

The Retina Macbook Pro has reached "Do Not Buy" status but I do not see any rumors. I have 2,345 days with this Macbook.
