Around a month ago, we told you about the exploding laptop at Dell's press conference in Japan. Turns out it wasn't a fluke; ouch. For details and to find out what to do if your Dell is one of the affected laptops, see the indepth story at PCMag.com. And here's a link to Dell's recall statement on its site. (At left is PC Magazine editor-in-chief Jim Louderback checking all the notebooks on our Lab benches to see which have Sony batteries.)

Careful with that battery there! :) Seriously though, about the battery program, it looks like the recalled batteries were manufactured by Sony under the Dell brand logo, and that Sony may have sold similar cells under different brands to companies like Apple and HP...I wonder if we'll see any more recalls like this in the near future.
