Another Dell laptop blows its top

[YKhan]

A Tom's hardware reader took some pictures of the latest Dell laptop to
blow up. He said that when the guy who owned the laptop heard the fire
alarm, he was about to go and pack up his laptop and take it out with
him, before he knew it was his laptop causing the fire.

Dude, your Dell just freaking blew up!!!

incident.

Hmm... I guess there IS such a thing as bad publicity.
