    Bear in mind that now is probably a risky time to buy a Mac - especially if you're looking for a laptop. New Ivy-Bridge models are almost certainly coming out in the next month or so.

    Are Ivy-bridge models going to replace the current range or will that make the current range drop in price significantly?

    'Significantly' too strong a word in short term but, in keeping with Moore's law, prices for current range will go down.

    They usually run stock down before release, so the only place there is a slight drop is machines on the refurb store.

    I definitively wait but Ivy Bridge is only 7% over Sandy Bridge if you need one now.

    While the update from Sandy-Bridge to Ivy-Bridge is fairly incremental, the rumour mill is going pretty full on about a bunch of other changes (e.g. removing the SuperDrive, going to a "slimmer" form-factor, etc.)

    Also - looking this article, there are suggestions that performance upgrade might be a little better than "7%".

    Of course what will actually happen remains to be seen.
