LDraw.org 2018-01 Parts Update Now Available - Chris Dee - 2018-01-30
The 2018-01 LDraw Parts Update has been now been released. This adds 267 new files to the core library, including 171 new parts and 20 new primitives. This update also fixes some minor problems with the 2017-01 update issued in December 2017, as reported here, here and here.
Thanks are of course due to all the part authors who created or corrected parts for this release, and to the reviewers who also play an important role in keeping files moving through the Parts Tracker.
You can preview the new parts in 2018-01 here, download the zip-file update or Windows install package here. Alternatively you can use the LDView menu option File | Check for Library Updates... to install the update.

Thanks - I am hoping to issue more regular updates this year to try and clear the backlog in the Parts Tracker (see here) and implement some long-overdue enhancements.

There is an overlap when a minifig hand holds:
62698-f3.dat - Minifig Computer Laptop (Closed)
as shown in this picture:
Could someone please confirm (and correct this)?
Furthermore I couldn't find pictures of minifigs holding the open version:
62698-f2.dat - Minifig Computer Laptop (Open)
please confirm also this.

The handle section seems indeed a tad too short (understand: the hand is a bit too long). Not convinced it's worth changing anything...
