one of the most common questions we get here no matter what time of year it is it should i buy a new laptop now or should I wait for the next generation of hardware Scott and I fundamentally disagree about this so here's some highlights from our debate of course you're going to wait to get a new laptop Intel's Ivy Bridge processors are just a matter of months away and you want to wait for that you do not buy just before a new piece of hardware comes out and that will mean getting more computer for the same amount of money would you buy an ipad a month before the next iPad was released of course you wouldn't of course there's always going to be something newer and shinier around the corner the countdown clock it starts taking the moment take the shrink-wrap off but that's fine because these Ivy Bridge chips the high-end ones may come out soon but the everyday ones those are going to take months longer and who knows when your favorite pc maker is going to have something that you want to buy with the new hardware in it I say if you want a new laptop just buy it now Oh dad come on what is your laptop on fire I mean if you have to get a laptop right now than sure you could spend the money and you won't regret it but with those laptops coming out within a matter of months with better integrated graphics sure you're going to want that you're going to be able to get more laptop for less money that's a no-brainer you see Scott you're obsessed with specs but I know what people do with their laptops they're on Twitter they're on facebook maybe they're watching Netflix but that's generally it you're not sequencing a genome you're not running a CGI render farm so it's more important to just get something that you like whether it's this year's laptop or even last year's is probably fine so should you buy a laptop now or should you wait read the rest of our debate online or vote in the poll tell us what you think you should wait number you
