The photo on the left of the article is a random Dell laptop. I don't understand why they put it up there.


That, to me, looks clearly too large to be a 12".

The color of the keyboard clearly shows that it is not the M1210....

Not all M1210s have cameras (you can get it sans camera), but, as others have said, it's clearly not an M1210 anyway.

It could be an ASUS. Someone boasted ASUS survived fires, might be another case of ASUS self-ignited fire.

i looked all over dells notebook systems that closely resembled the on in the picture and came up with no concrete evidence about what model it is.

as for it being asus, there have been a ton of news reports posted about dell looking into the matter, and if it were indeed not a dell machine they would make a press release about it. but thats just me i guess - ill have a look over the asus systems to see if i can find some resemblence with the posted picture

The only reason I thought it was a M1210 is the original Reuter's article shows a (undamaged) M1210, not the actual exploding laptop. Looks like a hoax.

I find the whole thing fishy myself. It seems pretty darned convenient that a photographer catches the laptop as it explodes (picture in a British Inquirer article). Even with Magnesium used in the laptop I really don't think the battery could get hot enough to ignite it. I couldn't get matches to ignite magnesium ribbon in chem class....had to use the bunsen burner's blue flame.
