{"post":{"id":455,"title":"Reports say Apple is planning a second October event focused on Macs — buy now or wait?","body":"Morning news roundups report Apple is preparing a second October launch, this time centered on new Mac hardware — right after the 'Welcome home' event with the new Apple TV 4K and the HomeView hub. I need a new MacBook for work within the next few weeks. Current models are discounted, but if new Macs land this month... What do people usually do here — grab the current model at a discount, or wait for the announcement? And any read on how quickly new Macs actually ship after these October events?","community":"PC","score":3,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"leading","answer_votes":1,"leading":{"id":464,"name":"Buy when you need it","score":1},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"priyaq","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-10-14T13:19:12.705Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/455","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":464,"name":"Buy when you need it","body":"My tools philosophy: buy when the work needs it. If your current machine is limping and costing you hours a week, waiting a month for a ~10-15% spec bump is a bad trade. If it still works fine, waiting costs you nothing — you either get the new model or today's model at a deeper discount. Two-week rule: can you comfortably wait two weeks? If yes, wait and see.","score":1,"rank_score":1,"author":{"username":"lenamakes","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-10-14T13:25:42.410Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
