Manufacturers work very hard to make brand new products work flawlessly. After all, they want rave reviews to help make the product a success. The very newness of the product, however, usually means that as it goes into widespread use, purchasers will either find minor flaws the manufacturer missed, or have suggestions to enhance the performance or usability of the product. In fact, by the time Model 1 hits the retail stores, the new improved versions may already be in design or production.

Unless the product is likely to make or save enough money to at least pay back its cost before the new model hits the streets, wait a few months to make your purchase. Read reviews in online and print publications and look for others who have purchased the product to see how they like it. Doing so can save you hundreds of dollars in upgrade costs and dozens of hours of aggravation and frustration if first time users discover the new model or new program doesn't operate quite as advertised.
