Get your Sony laptops Hot Hot Hot! Sony recalling 500,000+ Vaio laptops for “thermal defect”

Recalls. Don’t ya love ‘em? Today’s featured recall is rather large, affecting up to 500,000 Sony Vaio F and C series laptops sold since January 2010. Apparently a “thermal defect” is preventing the laptops in question from being unable to properly cool themselves, resulting in warped laptops and burned appendages.

According to Sony, downloading a simple patch can make random melting issues cease to exist. Or, you can have Sony come pick up the laptop and do it themselves. (Weird)

If you’re rockin’ one of Sony’s hot Vaios, are you really going to send your laptop off for a downloadable patch?
