Default Dell laptops strike back!!!

You should prolly get a good laptop cooler for your Dell lappy or that won't be the only thing that gets scorched . I thought I'd post this as a warning and something to laugh hysterically at (I chose the latter). Dell laptops can explode.....no not catch on fire......EXPLODE....Exhibit A:


This IS a Dell
Dell Spontaneous Combustion (awesome!)
Apparently your Dell lappy is NOT cool (though when ever was a Dell "cool"? )

Here is a great quote...this guys knows what he's talkin about
"The damn thing was on fire and produced several explosions for more than five minutes". "For the record, this is a Dell machine," notes Gaston....HELL YEAH!!! This man is a genius!!

I dunno if this has been posted already but I thought it was too funny to let go.


*Note: This was posted to poke some fun at Dell. Exploding Laptop Syndrome is not limited to Dell...just its funnier when it happens to a Dell.

there shouldn't be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
