Recalled Vaio Laptops Get the Hots  14.07.2010

Sony has recalled over half a million Vaio laptops which are overheating so much that they can cause burns and warp the computers. Fortunately, no one has been injured, as reported by techweb.

Any laptop,compared to a desktop computer, is particularly vulnerable to design and manufacturing faults due the marketing and user pressures to put as much as possible into as small a space as possible.

Sony has had its share of problems - battery probems forced an earlier recall excise in 2006. This time, not only was Sony affected, but a number of other computer makers which they sold their batteries to, including Apple, Dell, Lenovo, HP and Toshiba.
