This is the nature with hardware failures: they don't happen to everyone. That doesn't mean it isn't an issue.

Well yeah. I don't think anyone is under the impression that Apple made a laptop that, by design, fries peripherals when it's charging.

It's #1 on the first page. It would be understandable if this was a widespread issue but it being a single case, someone must really hate Apple.

> it being a single case, someone must really hate Apple.

A question on Apple's own forum demonstrating a clearly dangerous hardware flaw is hating Apple? ..they really can do no wrong.

Also notice the "I have this question too" button which has been pressed 26 times.

I meant that more about pushing an unverified post on a user forum with no proof to #1 spot.

unverified? it's just voltage not intel ME.

Reading some other peoples comments it appears some peripherals manage the voltage somehow but get very hot... seems unlikely 20v though, perhaps the exact voltage varies by machine, only becoming obvious in extreme cases like this.
