Dell Computers Tank, Stock To Follow

"I guess years of selling cheap computers has finally caught up with us"

The Harpoville Post reports that home delivery computer giant Dell has recalled 4.1 Million Sony notebook computers because they've been burning up on customers laps. A Dell spokesperson refused to say wether they're recalling 4 Million 100,000 computers or 4 Million and one computer. The recall dates back to computers purchased from the company from April of 2004 the July 18 2006, but a few weeks ago. Though no word from Sony if this recall is for similar Sony notebooks purchased at the Sony Store.

The Harpoville Post spoke to Dell spokesperson Dell Donaldson about the recall and he had this to say, "It seems the batteries in the Sony Notebooks aren't up to our high Dell quality standards and will, for no apparent reason, burst into flames taking the owner with it. All the 4 Million plus owners of these computers have to do is ship it back to us UPS and we will replace those defaulty batteries Sony puts in Dell computers so we can sell them cheaper. If your computer is less than 90 days old Dell will pay for all UPS charges, which can be pretty costly because most Dell customers usually live in the middle of nowhere. But, we are asking our loyal customers to call our 1-800-Dell service line where a trusted Dell employee is patiently standing by, between the hours of 9 and 3pm Malaysian time, to take the millions and millions of expected calls from understandably irate but, loyal Dell customers."
