We finally received full details on the issue affecting Intel's Sandy
Bridge chipsets this morning, and now we're hearing of what looks to
be the first confirmed recall. Samsung is indicating it will offer
refunds for affected computers and, while it isn't saying exactly
which models will be affected, it did give a number: six models sold
in South Korea and one available in the US will be eligible for return
or refund, about 3,000 total machines. NEC, meanwhile, who just went
all-in with Lenovo, is indicating that it may push back the release of
four separate models. Naturally we'll keep the updates coming as we
get more details.

[Thanks, Peter]
