My colleague just had to replace his HP Elitebook Notebook because the battery had bulged so much it had cracked open the case.
For this to be happening in 2023 means that some manufacturers at least, seem to be not managing this potential problem at all.
- thfuran 3y agoN=1 doesn't really tell you much of anything about anything.
- bayindirh 3y agoWell, my wife's work supplied EliteBook's battery has been replaced today due to excessive swallowing, and it's definitely younger than my 2014 MacBook Pro.
- mrguyorama 3y agoAn entire production run of Macbook Pro 2015s had to be recalled and replaced because the batteries were inflating and bursting into flames.
- bayindirh 3y ago...and Samsung recalled two series of their flagship phones to replace their batteries, and fail (and cancel the model altogether). Because of their failure, planes started and still continue to announce phone charging related security measures during take-off. Every company makes big mistakes. Also Apple once built laptops with self-cooking GPUs, a couple ones very fragile keyboards, a series with too-sensitive screen coatings. We can write tons of problems with every producer. The most important metric is whether they're learning from that or not. As far as I can see Samsung and Apple learnt their lessons.
