Attendees at a recent conference in Japan were hit with an unexpected surprise when a Dell laptop exploded into flames.
One of those attendees, who abruptly sent in photos and information to the Inquirer, reported that “the damn thing was on fire and produced several explosions for more than five minutes.”
