    The battery recall was first announced by Dell that is true. It is a problem with certain Sony Batteries however and has nothing to do with Dell.

    Dell was first, then Apple. Last Friday Toshiba recalled 830,000 and Fujitsu recalled an undisclosed number. Lenovo and IBM recalled just over 500,000 Friday. A dozen OEM manufacturers have been told to recall the batteries too.

    The reason I am pointing this out is if you have a laptop you should visit your manufacturers website to check if your laptop is effected.

    Wouldn't like to be the person who let these batteries go out the factory would you :D Sony is in big trouble.


    Hi....I visited the Fujitsu website (UK) and dont see any mention of any battery problems/recall? Could u perhaps point me in the right direction pls?

    Thanks

    3 Years anti theft insurance?

    Is this an optional extra on included on all Necs of this type?

    The is very untrue. The Dell one is far inferior!!

    This NEC has got twice the memory, a DVD rewriter, Wi-fi, bluetooth, firewire, and very light & slim.

    Not at all - the Dell deals do vary from week to week as per whatever marketing campaigns they are running - but a 1300 with 15.4" widescreem, DVDRW, 512mb & WiFi has frequently been available at £330-£350 delivered.
    EGG are a bunch of complete bankers!
  • don't forget this is £319 + vat + shipping = £386
