ZOMG, It's a Dell. Isn't they like the best compy-puu-tar on the market?
LoL
Seriously, I'd love to be the person calling tech support about this one.
Me: Hi, my laptop won't work.
Dell: Have you tried turning it off and on again.
Me: Yes
Dell: Is it polugged into the wall and turned on
Me: No
Dell: Well there is your problem
Me: Not exactly, when I plugged it in and turned it on before, it caught on fire.
Dell: Oh.....

UPDATE Dell will cover replacement of said dock, laptop and screen...
ya GOTTA love when the mfr. bends over backwards to fix things right. Getting
them to do it everytime's more problematic...

OMG... quote of the year... this was the funniest thing I've read in a very long time..
[at this point they had already thrown the burning laptop out the window]
"Employees started telling the owner that his laptop had "exploded", but forgot to mention that it was outside. He looked down at the empty desk and thought his laptop had literally exploded into nothingness. "He came back and just saw the burn mark. The expression on his face was priceless," says Gustavsson."
