CBC - The National - Exploding Laptops - July 13, 2006

[Dudedanrocks]

This problem was resolved and DELL felt the blows. If you have a laptop from around that era, i suggest buying a cooling base for it for 20-40 bucks. Good investment in my opinion

[ewoud95]

do you play battlefield heroes??

Fuck you.

[qwareverse]

ive seen somone bring this in to best buy when i worked there, there was literaly a hole in the keyboard. this is why i roll with alienwares liqud cooled computers (non laptop)

[Bachnmozart]

Um...good thing he was already in the hospital O.O

[octamember]

Actually Deli311, MAC HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR BATTERIES... They also issued a recall for their battteries. The fault isnt cooling,its Sony, Sony made shitty batteries because Sony fucking sucks. But everyone likes to fondle Sony's nutsack, they havent made anything worth a damn in years...

[qwareverse]

everyone knows that sony's batteries are shitty. psps have a battery life of 4 hours while the DS battery is like 3 times smaller but lasts what 19 hours?

[XxxStarShip]

Yeh ur just like all the idiots who only use basic information. The PSP does a lot more processes like the laser for reading the disk which uses lots of energy spinning the disk createing WAY better graphics then the DS can and much more

[XxxStarShip]

Forgot the commas' anyway the PSP is much like a handheld computer. They both have thier pros and cons so don't go saying other companies things are crap just becuase u dont got one.

[bulldawgs50]

This is about LAPTOPS not VIDEO-GAMES, kids.

[ufoundme2oo6]

yes but look at what the psps can play then the ds

[XxxStarShip]

Sony has made much money since they have been developing thier PS3 which was supposed to come out before the Xbox and i mean Xbox not Xbox 360. But there were to many bugs so instead they released a PSX(cross between a PS3 and a PS2) in Japan which didnt do very well since people said they rather have the PS3.

[willsd87]

You are a grammatical failure, who didn't pick up basic information at primary school!

[porphyrix]

that comma shouldn't be there. way to fail

[porphyrix]

that comma shouldn't be there. way to fail

[Deli311]

Macs use a liquid liner, to keep it all cool have been for 5 years. So yeah maybe old ass Mac laptops had that problem but Mac is smart enough to fix it. When is the last time you heard of a Mac recall. Dell's are so popular but they still have the same old crappy battery having no improvements been made.

[carmilevy]

Knock knock, Deli: Apple recalled 1.8 million PowerBooks and iBooks this summer. Mac refers to the brand. Apple is the company that makes them.

Read much?

[Sasuke2900]

LOL! thats some funny stuff, i should do what deejaybunny does now!

5 minute rest..lol thats enough.

[qwareverse]

mac sucks and it always will... whos heard of a one button mouse?

[deejaybunny12]

0.o I'm offically turning off my laptop and let it cool down for 5 minutes, every hour. I have a Dell laptop. In fact, I'm using it right now. And I'm not joking- I'm gonna start shutting it down every hour, and let it cool for 5 minutes.

[Kakadachi]

K what the hell is wrong with you people? Someone's computer blows up and you start bs'ing. Then suddenly, when your computer blows up, it's the other way around.

[DeadRain23]

lol thats jus weird.

[gremlindemonluver]

Yeah, my computer fan is loud, but at least it works. Otherwise I'd be dead...X(

[TurkReno]

Crazy shit! Thank god computer towers have cooling fans!

[Pesnja]

What better place to have the battery explode in your face than a hospital?

[ILoveZim12]

hey...you "creator of this video" person....are you really the guy on that video????

[ILoveZim12]

haha the guy thinks laptops are sexy....

[oOTARGETOo]

NOW THATS FUNNY!

[IxHavexArrived]

I wish the laptop had exploded in his face.

Teach him to turn off his computer every once in a while

[Elesaar27]

RATE where his face was, EH?

[wooks93]

lol

[Deli311]

Thats what you get for using PC's

[jeongalex]

it says the batteries have been also replaced by apple, so its not only PC's

[ancalagon1]

If you watch the whole video the say Macs have the same problem.

[Nubs926]

[PilacoCookie]

DELL is like that. Deal with it.

[Uroza13]

[Slashtap3]

These idiot reporters are just looking for a story to report. Pointless.

[crazyhalfazn]

You have a beeter chance of being hit by lightning than this. And it's easily preventable. People need to be sued for having no common sense

[SakuratoYume]

Laptop not for the lap... What a clever title (coughdumbassescough)

Everyone should know to not let your laptop overheat. It slows down if you've been on too long anyway.

[coreymartin0079]

Ya know I have a dell e1505 much like the on that exploded, that's a very uneasy felling whille whatching this video.
