Apple ibooks/powerbooks just as 'Hot' as Dell's

**BlueBimmer** · August 27th, 2006 10:47 AM

As we know, Dell isn’t the only one using Sony laptop batteries that have potential of exploding in your face. Our favorite Apple iBooks and PowerBooks are just as “hot”.

Apple announced today that it’ll be recalling 1.8 million batteries that are identified as potentially hazardous - less than half of Dell’s 4.1 million. 1.1 million of them in US, and the rest around the world.

The affected models are the 12-inch iBook G4, 12-inch PowerBook G4 and the 15-inch PowerBook G4, which were sold between October 2003 and August 2006.

Not all dell laptops are affected. Laptops purchased after July 16 are not affected

Just got myself an XPS 1210. Fortunate enough that my battery wasn't involved

Faulty Sony CCDs now faulty Sony li-ion cells.... tsk tsk tsk

I've just been to the Sony service center at balintawak yesterday to pick up a digicam with faulty Sony CCD. Guess what they made us pay for Sony's fault.... sorry for the OT just ranting...
