Dell notebook goes BOOM!

I could net believe this when I read it on Neowin this morning. Apparently during a conference in Japan a Dell notebook burst into flames “and produced several explosions for more than five minutes” according to Gaston, an onlooker.

There are some amazing pics on the Inquirer’s site.
