    Wow you'd expect better quality (especialy regarding heat management) when paying a higher price compared to other brands. Perhaps sony should ask Acer for some help, mine reaches up to 92-94 celcius without melting/burning (knocks on wood) ^^

    I doubt 39 know cases worlwide can be claimed as Recall.
    The millions announced are eligibles owners to download and install a BIOS Firmware update. You do it in your home.
