My lenovo laptop sometimes tests if boil-in-bag might be a good idea for laptops now even if it hasn't been anytime before.
I'll notice when I open my bag and find a hot laptop with little battery left.
Oh and burn marks in the screen. Lenovo has already replaced one screen.
- beat 10y agoI have a Dell craptop from the dayjob that sometimes puts itself into hell when going to sleep while unplugged. It gets REALLY hot, probably burning 100% cpu on whatever little nightmare Windows is having, until the battery runs out. If I notice it, pop the lid, and press the power button, it goes right to sleep properly. To the point of a comment above, this is why the article is noticed when a MacBook is involved, but it wouldn't be if it was, say, a Dell. We just assume that this obviously shoddy piece of generic Windows crap could just catch fire due to design flaws. If my MacBook caught fire, I'd be shocked. If my Samsung Chromebook caught fire, I wouldn't be. If the dayjob Dell caught fire, I'd call it par for the course.
