Has to be a battery failure.
Since most laptops, cell phones, etc use lithium based batteries these days, when one of these batteries is damaged, seriously overheated (shorted), and/or cracked open, the Lithium will burn in excess of 2000F when exposed to air (oxygen). It's really about the only component inside any laptop, cell phone, etc. that could ignite such a fire.

Lithium based batteries should never get hot when in use or being charged.

They happen to all. Apple had to recently recall some MacBook Pros because of it. Not a very uncommon thing.

Ya, but with the Dell... the warranty conveniently ended the day prior to this happening.

So? You think they have a little timer inside of it and it lights a match right at the moment? If so then they're far ahead of the rest of the companies! Its all about the money!

Not the same as the Trash Print Rag. They report true Tech Stuff, just like the Register.
