Hot on the heels of last week’s Dell notebook calling in the firetrucks, a Singapore man tells the Sydney Morning Herald about his self-immolating laptop.

Working late in the office last November, his computer began making “popping noises.”

“It wasn’t quite an explosion, but white smoke began to pour out of the machine, completely filling up the room, and there were flames coming up the sides of the laptop,” he said.

He doused the laptop in a sink and removed its batteries. Dell quickly replaced his device.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. When you’re in Dell hell, your laptop supplies flames to add to the realism.
