    I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be better to just get it now, or if there are gonna be any price decreases/technology improvements within the next two months. Thanks!

    Rule of thumb from the notebook gods:

    "He who shant a notebook now shall wait. He who shall need the notebook now shall buy now"

    You may see some back-to-school sales, and some of the store stock models may have a discount as the new Montevina models come out, but as X2P mentioned, if you need one now, buy it. If you can wait, then do so.

    :)

    If you need it now, order it, the wait time for my M1530 is almost a month.

    no.... u shoudl have bought yesterday... :p

    as everyone keeps repeating.... technology keeps changing, u cant wait forever... pick a date u need ur laptop, subtract 4 weeks(for shipping,delays, testing etc.) and hunt for a deal up to that deadline before biting
