Owners of Sony Vaio Fit 11A laptops are being urged to check the serial number after reports of the machines catching fire.

The company says that problems with the non-removable battery - supplied by a third party, it hastens to add - could lead to the PCs overheating and burning. Affected models were sold in February this year, and there have been three reported incidents so far, in China, Hong Kong and Japan.
