Just received a friend's email regarding an fire accident caused by laptop~~ Here is the story:
A gradueted student named Arun was found died on his own bed which his bed was being burned which carbon monoxide has produced. After few days of investiggation, it was determined that the fire was caused by by the laptop which was placed on the top of the bed.
This incident may happened because when the laptop was placed on the bed, the cooling system of the laptop cannot get cool air to cool down the laptop as the uneven surface of the bedsheet has blocked the air intake vent which is below the CPU fan. When the laptop is placed on a flat surface, there will appear a gap between the desk surface with the base of the casing to allow air to flow in through the air intake vent by the cpu fan to cool the CPU.
So, although putting laptop on the bed is very comfortable, but~~ please be careful as the risk is there...
