You may be getting more than you bargained for when you get a Dell...WHEN IT EXPLODES!
Currently, I'm using a Dell right now here at work...but it's not a laptop. My mom also uses a Dell for work at home. :eek:

This could happen because of a non-Dell battery being used, counterfeit Dell power adapter/accessories - but still, for a PC to selfcombust, something has to be pretty damn wrong :p

Hopefully they don't explode, but hey they're dells you better watch out.
Dude joking about exploding computers isn't even funny.. I just had two crap out on me ever since my move back to the US from France.. first my DELL laptop's AC adapter fried, nice smoke came from it and everything.... I ordered me a new one but DHL is slacking and I still haven't got it.. Then I had to buy a new power supply for my computer since the old one was for the higher voltage european power.. I bought it from Circuit City on Friday.. put that baby in and it worked just fine.. the second time I turned on my computer there was a loud "pow" noise and orange light and white smoke.. :( Luckily I got and exchange and the new one is working fine.. O_o

Things happen all the time. Your TV your Car your VCR or DVD player your Xbox or your Xbox360 could do that.
No lie.. I had a friend who had his 360 explode ><.. just the occassional defective piece.. or wear and tear..

Lol it could be used in a game of hot potatoe. Pass the dell around and if it explodes in your hands, you're out.
More like "You die, You lose"

Dust is also a problem. So much dust can pile up that it becomes conductive and create a short.
Yes, the blockage of dust.... This is interesting
I say we go waaaayyy off topic alllll the way back to teh start of astronomy....
