I was thinking about the same thing around Thanksgiving, Rob.
MacPro or (shudder) a PC? I was looking at the Asus - and their crazy tablet Eee Slate. But with Windows 8 (not dev preview) for tablets looming (lurking?) somewhere in the near future like my new MacPro - it's a a big shift for us Macheads.
But the Wacom pressure sensitive Asus is appealing.
Arrgh!
MacbookAir?

Your call Rob, but when I've faced these now-or-later decisions (as opposed to the I-need-it-now-for-this-job decisions), I've found the Macrumors buyer's guide to be helpful and fairly accurate in its predictions. Check it out:
http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Mac_Pro
Summary:
Recommendation- Don't Buy - Updates soon
Last Release- July 27, 2010
Days Since Update- 521 (Avg = 348)
And see the supporting rumors/announcements. Who knows what Apple's going to do, but seems like it might be worth finding another outlet for your EOY money. Maybe a Jura coffee machine?

It's the last day of the year I can spend $$ to deplete the company bank account. I'd like to upgrade the old 8-core MacPro 2.1 to something more contemporary with a modern graphics card (not that my current mac still isn't great -- it is). Question is should I go for a current MacPro, or keep the cash (and pay taxes) and wait to see what the near future brings regarding Apple's pro line.
Advice? Opinions? Predictions?
Thanks,
