The middle Cult of Mac released this news yesterday afternoon that refers to an Apple computer that began to burn unexpectedly. In this case and after a few days in which all the focus of attention was focused on Samsung and its problems with the Galaxy Note 7, an iPhone seems that it also ended up catching fire and yesterday we heard the news of this MacBook Pro that for no apparent reason was burning completely. In principle, it is an isolated event and you do not have to worry about it, but it is important, as with other burned devices, to discover the causes of what happened with this Mac.
From what we can read in the original Cult Of Mac news, the owner of this Mac argues that for no apparent reason and once the Mac was turned off, it began to smoke from the back and a few seconds later it ended up exploding, in this explosion jumped the bottom cover of the equipment. The scare was really important and the best thing about this whole story is that caused no injuries and no major fire beyond the equipment itself of which we do not know the details of manufacture and model.
Apple is already informed of the problem and it is obviously an isolated case, since it is not something that happens in more Apple computers. Now you have to see if the small explosion and the subsequent fire came caused by improper use of chargers or just something went wrong with this MacBook causing disaster. We are sure that it will not transcend beyond the news itself and it is almost certainly a specific defect of this unit.
