DELL'S REPUTATION as maker of exploding laptops has been given a boost in webland.
Pictures posted on Chinese-language site hi-pda.com, will cause a flutter in INQ readers' hearts, reminded of how these pictures of a Japanese exploding model whipped up a storm of international hysteria.

In the old days, folk just looked on in amazed horror.
