That totaly depends on your use for the notebook. If you are an "average" user, as in you surf the web, look at pics, chat, watch movies, type documents, ect....then the notebook you have should be perfectly fine for 3-4 years. If you are a "power user" who likes to be on the leading edge, wait and buy before the next school year. All the fancy new models will be out. Especialy for notebooks which have a large market in college kids. I will warn you though, chasing the leading edge is a never-ending struggle, no matter when you buy you will always find yourself saying "If I wait just a few more months this model will be cheaper or somthing better will be out" so don't get caught in that trap, you have to "settle" eventualy.
