From the article . . "A Dell spokesman said that although they believed the battery which exploded was not the original supplied by Dell, the company was supplying a new laptop as a gesture of goodwill "

Give it time Aca, give it time. Seems like the more time passes the more reports come out. It's like the older the battery, the more it's likely to blow. Millions of batteries out there, so little time.

Which explains why she has a negative attitude towards children. She doesn't know how to cook them They have to be punctured like and egg yolk before microwaving or they may explode.

I realize that this may be a bad time, but I am in the market for a new laptop. I am hesitating because of this Sony battery issue. Should I wait until this current battery issue passes, or, can you recommend a specific brand, or specific model?
