Toxic Mac Pros?
Submitted by Creech on Thu, 10/02/2008 - 13:55.
According to a French newspaper, some Mac Pros are emitting burning smells and benzene fumes into the air when in use. Not quite as nice as the new ASUS laptops, but similar in some ways, I guess. And Apple probably did not mean for their computers to emit smells, unlike ASUS. The results are only preliminary as of now, but several labs are currently analyzing the problem.

Benzene is used in the manufacturing process of various plastics, resins, glues, and several other synthetic materials. It is a carcinogen, so having your computer spew it into the air around is definitely not good. There are not many details or thorough test results available yet, but it looks like Apple might have a problem on their hands.
