TOKYO, Japan (AP) -- Sony says it is recalling 440,000 units of Vaio laptop computers worldwide due to faulty parts that could trigger overheating.

Sony Corp. said Thursday that the recalls involve 19 models of Vaio TZ laptop series manufactured between May 2007 and July 2008, including three export models.

The Tokyo-based consumer electronics company says a faulty wiring connecting the main body of the laptop and its display could cause overheating near a power plug or the rim of the screen, sometimes distorting the shape of the computer

Acer and Asus Laptops are better. both also have good quality.

You have got to be kidding. Acer???

I'm gettign a new Gateway P-7811 FX Edition, as the reviews were very positive on them, and I need a gaming laptop  when I travel.  Sony sux tho, and are usually overprice...more than macs.

It's a great Laptop, although the video card could been better

 No, but this has the new 9800 Geforce card?  HD is only 200GB, but with eSATA, it's all good.
