dell can get those same quality batteries as other manufacturers.
all they have to do is install more spy ware than they already do on their machines, it is that simple.

I heard that upon opening the box that the PS3 comes in, the system explodes on the spot. This prevents you from enjoying it a little before it ignites...or starting your TV on fire.]]>Aug 16th 2006 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/
You could imagine someone from Sony saying, "Sure we can get the cost down by another $.10 per battery, but that will increase the chance of battery failure from 1 in 1,000,000 to 1 in 50,000" and Dell jumping at the cost reduction.]]>Aug 16th 2006 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/
Anyway... Just giving my two cents]]>Aug 16th 2006 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/
Also, does sony just provide the cells or the whole unit?]]>Aug 16th 2006 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/Aug 16th 2006 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/Aug 16th 2006 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/Aug 16th 2006 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/This is getting old. Okay, fanboys and anti-fanboys, lets go: "S0ny 1s teh sux0r! lol" "no is not" ad nauseaum... I wonder why I even bother reading any post that contains the Sony keyword.

-as a side note, I have a Sony TV, a PSX, a PS2, a VAIO, a Discman and my car stereo is a Sony. I have had sony products all my life even before those, and so far I have had no issues. Ever. I just cannot understand the rampant fanboyism for and against one goddamn company here.

my two (unasked for) cents]]>Aug 16th 2006 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/Aug 16th 2006 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/
now I am up to four cents.]]>Aug 16th 2006 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/Checks recommended on 69,000 Dell laptops due to possible battery problems.]]>Aug 16th 2006 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/
As for this topic, from what I understand of these Lithium Polymer batteries, they become unstable when voltages get low. Because of this, it lies in the hands of the laptop manufacturer to make sure they have the proper charging and power management systems in place to keep the batteries from discharging too much. This would mean that a Dell only problem is entirely possible.

What I am trying to say is that, yes I will buy the PS3 when it comes out if it is the best thing since internet pr0n. I leave the growing pains to the early adopters. If it fails horrible with craptastic games, then I will look at the alternatives (Wii, yes I am looking at you) That is how I have a DS and not a PSP (even though I owned both at one time.)

I hope this post makes sense (it did to me at the time.)]]>Aug 16th 2006 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/Aug 16th 2006 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/Aug 16th 2006 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/Aug 16th 2006 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/Aug 16th 2006 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/Aug 16th 2006 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://expressen.se/index.jsp?d=10&a=578852

Their mother board is like shit!
Now even the battery they buy also they buy the cheapest one to sell with the damn fucking low cost laptop.
Now see, how sux is Dell's product?
I bet you know the answer,
is damn fucking sux!!!!!!
The most sux in the world!!!!]]>Aug 21st 2006 6:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/16/dell-recall-prompts-investigation-into-all-sony-laptop-batteries/http://www.laptopsforless.com/laptopbattery and it works great. Is there any reason to think that a replacement laptop battery would be any worse that the manufacturers? ]]>Aug 21st 2006 1:14PM
