I honestly can’t say that I have ever watched a computer explode; not even a tiny titsy bit, neither on YouTube.
As a passionate laptop user, I find this story I’ve discovered on Appletell to be a quite uncanny…especially since I’m toying with the idea of buying a MacBook Air.
No good, if there’s a chance it’ll blow up in my face’$#!
James was sitting at his desk yesterday, reading Digg, when all of a sudden he heard a loud “POP”. Immediately after this pop, sparks and flames started shooting out from his MacBook Pro, lighting his desk on fire and giving him a slight burn as he tried to put out the flames. He finally got the fire out, unplugged his MacBook Pro and pulled out the battery and gave Apple Europe a call.
Naturally, this incident got me wondering: Are Macs prone to explode? This isn’t the first case in which an Apple Computer blows itself up… and Apple was forced to issue those Powerbook battery recalls
