In the past several weeks and even months, computer company Dell has been buffeted by problems. Their share in the market losses has been a great one that they are now in the process of streamlining the whole business in order to get back what they had lost. All of Dell’s efforts will be headed by returning CEO Michael Dell. Dell replaced former CEO Kevin Rollins last Wednesday and he said he plans to be Dell’s Chief Executive for several years. The job of turning the company around is nothing new to him since he was the one brought it about from scratch way back in 1984. This time he’s in for another awesome challenge.

Dell Inc., the world’s biggest PC manufacturer ranked by Forbes magazine as the 28th largest company in the US by revenue, is going to recall more than 4 million laptop computer batteries—the biggest computer-related recall in the US so far. The company told last Monday that the batteries may overheat and cause fire. Although there were no reports about Dell laptops causing serious injuries due to overheating batteries and although there were only 6 cases of Dell laptops bursting into flames in the US, the company deemed it necessary to recall the batteries to ensure safety of customers.

Some analysts say that Dell’s recall could hurt the company’s reputation and standing in the market. Dell chairman and founder Michael Dell is however confident that the said recall won’t have a great impact on its business. Other analysts believe this is possible adding that Dell could in fact benefit from it since they are the first to recall the batteries, which are also being used by other manufacturers.
