Acer, the fast-growing Taiwanese PC maker, announced on Wednesday a voluntary recall of 27,000 lithium-ion notebook batteries made by Sony. A danger exists that the batteries can short-circuit and burst into flames.
The National Australia Bank has awarded Acer a contract to supply up to 20,000 desktops and notebooks under a refresh project that is also seeing the institution shift to a Windows XP standard operating environment (SOE) across its Australian business.
