OK, Cancelling My Plans to Buy A Laptop

A video. Just when you think it's getting boring, stay tuned.

It says:
We intentionally created conditions in which the Li-ON battery pack would explode inside a generic portable. The results are dramatic. There are numerous conditions where these fires can occur in real life. Faulty battery packs (driving the recalls), faulty protection circuits inside the PC, exposure to excessive heat, and blunt force are some of the major ways that this could happen to you.

There are cases where this happens in normal use, but they're extremely rare. I would not cancel plans to purchase a laptop, if you were serious.
