New 17-inch MacBook Pro due next year, not by Macworld?

An online report suggests the reason why the 17-inch MacBook Pro (MBP) didn't get the swish new aluminium cases of the new 13-inch MacBook and 15-inch MacBook Pro was because of issues in "ramping up production", thus "delaying them by a few months". In short, if you want to upgrade your existing 17-inch MBP, why bother doing it now?

The ASUS S101 slim Eee PC - not worth buying?

It’s all over the news – Asus is launching the slimmest netbook that comes close to challenging the MacBook Air in sleekness and slamming it in price, but certainly not in power, screen or keyboard size, while being pretty pricey all its own. Won’t 2009 be the year of a zillion slim netbooks at ever better pricing?
