My iBook got a massive speed bump a couple of weeks after I bought mine, but I've been happy with it all along (except for a major reed switch problem that caused several trips to servicing in the first year). The other thing I'm waiting for with MacBookPro is for software to be ported (not that I buy much but I would like to know it's available) and ensuring that linux distros are ready, especially Ubuntu. I'm planning for a dual boot system. The current iMacs are dreamy. I wish I had one! LOL, Jenelle :) There always seems to be complaints about new models on the forums.

Am very very happy with my decision - a few people on the Appletalk forums are jumping up and down about buying a iMac two weeks ago not thinking that a new one would be released so soon but IMO this is the 'finished' version of the iMac and they are a speed machine. So mid-2007 is a perfect time to upgrade and it is kinda scary to think about what they may be including in their 'books then! :) It is all sooooo exciting!!
