Spotted this thread today, quite amusing. Anyone use a Dell laptop?

I use a D610, which looks like the model in those pictures. :eek:

It runs hot, but not that hot........

I wonder if Dell do flameproof trousers for home use?

It is a little worrying - I suggest anyone with a Dell laptop checks their battery to see if its a dodgy one:-

and I quote....

"It is possible for these batteries to overheat, which could pose a risk of fire."

Already checked the one on my D810 - not affected

I use a D610' date=' which looks like the model in those pictures. :eek:
