I plan to buy my wife a new Macbook as a replacement to an old, slow PC she's been tolerating for years. If memory serves me correctly, there can be some bad times to make a Mac purchase (i.e., before a big release, or before they begin to standardize on an Intel processor). I did some searching, and can't seem to see any near-term milestones in the Apple world. Am I missing something? If I buy her something in the next few weeks, is that just before some Big, Super-secret Sale (BSS)? Thanks in advance for the help.
