You know if someone has it sitting on their lap and that li-poly goes pop someone is going to have a serious problem. There will be a song about that.

Pop! Pop!
Pop! Pop!
The laptop went
Pop! Pop!

I bet the owners were cursing that the laptops didn't start burning when they were using it. They could've won millions in psychological and trauma damages.

I'm actually fairly convinced that no Dell laptops are immune to ridiculous overheating. I take a TON of them apart for scrap materials, and in the VAST majority of them, the dissimilar metals in the heatsink/heatpipe assemblies are actually fused together - and on the laptops with magnesium or aluminum frames instead of plastic, they're often FUSED TO THE DAMN FRAME (they are NOT supposed to be) - which makes my job a total pain in the ass.

Battery fires, on the other hand, are a rarity as far as I've seen.
