Apple recalls 1.8 million batteries

Is there anyone left in the Laptop business who isnt recalling batteries ?

Should we be worried?

Is this the end of the laptop era ?

Apple is recalling 1.8 million batteries manufactured by Sony due to fears of fire.

According to the recall statement published on the Consumer Products Safety Commission website: “These lithium-ion batteries can overheat, posing a fire hazard to consumers.

"Apple has received nine reports of batteries overheating, including two reports of minor burns from handling overheated computers and other reports of minor property damage. No serious injuries were reported.”

Oh dear... thank the lord for my trusted deskop that runs of the nations power grid !
