No, go for one of the established laptop brands (whichever). They're cheaper and certainly not worse in terms of quality (probably better).

Sony can't even make good batteries, let alone the whole laptop. Don't let the "Sony = quality" mantra fool you in this case.

 

all major brands companies recall batteries to that includes those made by panasonic and toshiba.

and vaio are quite decent notebooks materials and LCD are at least a step head apple.

(cheap white plastic) unless buy a very expensive aluminium macbook pro.

I searched for battery recalls toshiba and I can only find references to Toshiba recalling Sony batteries that they used:

HP and Dell did the same too:

Maybe you're talking about some older case? Do you have links?
