<\/a>I'm not a big fan of netbooks, but the Hackintoshable Dell Mini 9<\/a> is another story. Of course, that only applies to the ones that aren't catching fire and burning holes in wood floors.<\/p>

<\/a>Writing to Consumerist<\/a>, Hannah describes what happened:<\/p>

\"Hi, last night I unplugged my laptop from its charger, carried it downstairs, and placed it on the wood floor of my living room.<\/p>

I heard a loud popping sound and the room immediately filled with smoke while the laptop hissed and sizzled. It died down, I pushed it with my foot, and it stared hissing again. There is a large scorch mark on my floor.<\/p>

It goes without saying, I am glad the laptop was not on my couch ...or in an airplane.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>

Consumerist put Hannah in touch with Dell, and they supplied her with a free upgraded replacement. They are also examining the crispy netbook itself, but have yet to release any details. Generally, when incidents like this occur<\/a>, the battery is to blame. If Dell is at fault, I would hope that Hannah can get them to spring for repairs to her floor. [Consumerist<\/a>]<\/p>
