I will say if you can use the computer now, buy it now, th price is good at the moment. Let's say in 6 months to a yr., the price drop another 100 or 200, considered you the price diff. as the rental for using your computer for 6 to 12 months. NO one can predict exactly how much it's going to drop (of course the EXPERT will disagree).
