If there's one thing that really annoys me after purchasing an expensive piece of tech it's when the whole thing catches fire and renders itself useless. It's so inconvenient. Granted, it doesn't happen a lot, but if Sony's recent product awareness announcement is anything to go by then it looks like the VAIO Fit 11A could be at risk of doing just that. Sony has apparently discovered that the batteries used within the hybrid could contain a serious fault that puts the product at risk of spontaneously catching fire without any prior warning.
Sony's VAIO computer business is to be sold off, the Japanese company has announced, citing the changing face of the global PC industry as the main factor behind its decision to offload the iconic brand to an investment firm. The news comes as the PlayStation maker reneged on its initial forecast of full-year profit to instead announce that it expects to make a $1.1 billion net loss in the year leading up to March 2014.
