Dell's going down the shitter also. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
CRN magazine had a little write up. I stripped naked and danced around a
pile of Dell catalogs and a laptop like a wild indian in celebration.

Except that the same batteries are in various other manufacturer's

But according to what I've read, a lot depends on the battery
configuration (which is probably a Dell decision) and the
position in the laptop (also a Dell decision, and given how
poorly they cool their laptops, I can understand why the
batteries blow up.)
It will be interesting to see if there are further recalls.
Does this hurt Dell or damage Sony?
