Dell Laptop Burns Down House

With our continual coverage of fire and laptops, the Consumerist reported on a Dell laptop that is the most probable culprit in the fire that destroyed his home. Some aspect of the laptop apparently malfunctioned after he left for work, and the fire spread through the entire 130 year old farmhouse.

So far, Dell has yet to respond to the complaint with any degree of serious consideration. We will continue to monitor it for updates.
