This is not good news, spooky in fact. MacBook Pro owner Ken Brinkman recently was having some problem with his notebook. After taking it to the store at home he thought to run an immediate backup and went to bed, leaving the machine to send over 100GB of data to his Time Capsule and went to sleep. But a few hours later, he woke up to the smell of burning plastic. Smoke was coming out of the keyboard, around the edges and out the ports on the left side. The magsafe, though, was completely engulfed. There were green flames coming off of it also burning a folder underneath the computer.

Ken’s local Apple Store says that it will replace the machine free of charge. Nonetheless, lesson to be learned and note to be taken.
