x2. Exactly. Apple will go to a great length discouraging such purchase timing, and there is nothing wrong with that. It is also true that I wouldn't get an Apple machine soon after a significant upgrade. A couple of months, at least, so that others beta-test it for you. We have an Apple engineer on campus, and he told me once that if a certain given model has been carried for, say, a year or more, there are often multiple unannounced fixes compared to the initial build.
