What happened
The owner himself shared the details of the story.American DJ White Panda. According to him, the laptop was on his lap and suddenly began to smoke. He managed to put the device on the floor, so he escaped with a slight fright.
But the same cannot be said about the laptop itself - it was completely burned out. In addition, the wooden floor underneath had turned black.
My MacBook Pro exploded today during normal use. No injuries, luckily. Some damage to the house. Could have been worse – good thing I wasn’t on a plane.
Very curious to see how @Apple responds. @ MacRumors @TechCrunch @ 9to5mac pic.twitter.com/pjmpv5Mx9b

White Panda immediately took the MacBook Pro to an Apple service center, where they picked it up and promised to respond within five days.
The user says that during his use, his laptop was in the service center twice - the display and touchpad were replaced.
