Another Dell Laptop Goes Boom

Dell Laptop Explodes

And another one went boom! Just when Dell and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission were about to get to the bottom of the exploding laptop mystery, it seems that they would have to prep up for another investigation for another Dell laptop cum pyromaniac.

It seems that another Dell laptop has undergone spontaneous combustion allegedly because of its battery catching fire, this time it occurred at your usual office. The incident prompted for the evacuation of the office (which made the workers really happy) and for the intervention of the fire and police department. The thing that made scenario hellish is the fact that the laptop in question seem to not be in use at the time of the explosion -- just by looking at the damage, it seems that the laptop was closed at the time that it went boom. So far, the company has not made any official statements about the incident.
