The New MacBook Pro 17'' Officially Delayed

Thanks to all readers who sent us this information as soon as they got the following message from Apple:

All messages indicate that the MacBook Pro 17" should start shipping from February 19th, unlike previously stated. Several rumors during the MWSF were already indicating that Apple will not be able to deliver the freshly released MBP 17" before the end of January. Let's hope that this is just a 3 weeks delay, and not the beginning of a longer waiting period...
