    This news have been circulating for some time already. I"m surprised you just heard about it. There are other threads in this form that also talks about it.

    Yeah I just heard about it... a bit slow on the case with this one! I couldnt find any threads in the Sony forum, just Dell/Apple.

    Do you know if it affects VAIOs? I have an FE21M bought early August 2006, off to university next week, so I'm a bit worried...

    i think it was only older apple and dell models. The models they showed in the news seemed to be very old. But I don't think this is the first time something like this happend.

    No, it's definitely not the first time. But the ones before were of a much smaller scale (the biggest one was 250,000 for Fujitsu-Siemens in June 2005). Interestingly enough, it is the fourth incident like this for Apple (August 2004, May 2005, July 2006 and now August 2006)...

    I wouldn't worry too much about it. Given that your laptop is rather new, I don't think you're in for a bad surprise...
