    Well, in general I usually think that waiting is better because technology always gets better and the stuff you were looking at a while ago now is cheaper.

    But if you have 2 months, I would think about ordering sooner than later, because you never know when a delay (battery delay maybe?) could really screw you over...

    Just my $0.02. :)

    I'd order now, only because two months sounds like a good amount of time to order prior to a deadline to be sure you get it on time.

    If you want to save a few $$$ there is an XPS m1330 for 997$+TX at Office depot (Staples).

    Unless you actually need Montevino, there's never much point in waiting. There's always something new coming out next week. I recently bought an m1330 rather than waiting, so I could use it through the summer.
