    Earlier this week Toshiba announced a massive recall on nearly 41,000 laptops. They have become the latest laptop vendor to fall victim of overheating technology leading to recalls. The notebooks they have recalled are the Satellite T135, Satellite T135D and Satellite ProT130 as they can overheat when they are plug-in to AC posing a burn hazard to consumers. There have only been just over 100 reports of melting laptops to spark a massive recall. As this may not effect to much of Toshiba's Notebook business because Sony and HP recalled notebooks earlier this year for the similar reasons.

Intel and AMD are in the process of lowering the power used by processors for newer notebooks.
