I wanted to get a HP Probook 4530s for a while now, but I couldn't justify myself buying another computer/toy. Now I think i need a new computer...and I have $200 amazon gift card yearning to be used.

I'm a console gamer (Starcraft/Portal exceptions), don't do any crazy video editing or such so power isnt really a need. I may experiement with some DJ software like Serato, but thats not a deal breaker.

I've been coasting with a netbook for 3 years, was doing development on it when iOS 3 was out, but switched to focus on Android (and Ubuntu), now I want to go back into iOS and my netbook won't install/update anything past 10.6.6 and a newer version is needed for iOS 6 SDK

...So now the reason why I posted this, do I just get the HP or wait for an Ivy Bridge based laptop? or even wait for ivy bridge models so the cost of the HP goes down?

Thanks for your input.
 
HP Probook 4530s, or a genuine Mac.
