Buy Mac now or Wait Till Later?

This Comming Fall i willl be starting my sophomore year in high school and for the past 2-3 months i have been askin my parents for a new computer and today we went computer shopping.. and i really liked apples computer.. my parents told me that if i get this mac book for christmas that she wont buy me a laptop for college.. so i would go half of soph. year junior and senior year and also maybe first or second year of college.. i was wonder if i should get the laptop now or wait (my now computer is almost 10 years old) and i dont think i can wait much longer .

i guess the real question is if i buy the current mac book will it still be" up to date" with the software that apple release or will it be outdated.. and i am a huge apple fan and i kno there release alot of new technology about every year or 6 months so since these laptops were just realeased should i wait and see if anything new come out this christmas.. even tho i dont see many rumors about new ones.. PLZZZZ HELP

I am about to purchase my first laptop, a Gateway NV5214u. Its my first PC aside from an old, almost unusable desktop. Ive grown up a Mac user and I am going into my sophomore year of high school. I really dont know much about these operating systems. I get a free upgrade to Windows 7 but to me (someone who is not too PC savvy) what are the major and/or noticeable differences between Windows Vista and Windows 7?
