This Samsung notebook is hot... for all the wrong reasons

Darius Chang | Feb 25, 2008

It may be an old 2002 model, but this particular Samsung laptop is still hot property... literally.

According to Reuters, a Samsung P10 started to smoke after about 3.5 hours of use and cause some minor burns. Not as spectacular as the Dell fireball in the airport, but still a cause of worry. However, it was also mentioned that said user had placed the portable on a pillow, which could have blocked the ventilation vents and caused overheating. Since Samsung portables are no longer being retailed in Asia Pacific, we have contacted the Korean maker regarding support should users in this region experience the same issue.
