Dell laptop explodes at Japanese conference

@ 2006/06/22

AN INQUIRER READER attending a conference in Japan was sat just feet away from a laptop computer that suddenly exploded into flames, in what could have been a deadly accident.

Putting a laptop on table cloth is never a good idea.

Well, I have to wonder if it was rigged... I mean, secondary explosions? Hopefully they'll run some tests and make the results known, or something...

*warily eys the dell laptop perched infront of him from now on* :P

It's okay, they are all at work ..... company health insurance kicks in.

well, it might be one of those laptops with overheating batteries (the battery might have been recalled, but if the end user doesn't know or doesn't care...)

ouch, I hope this isn't true.
I own a modified dell
