Shoot, probably Dell? This was a few years ago, but it looked just like the Dell ones that are currently on the market.
Also, the house still has a vague burnt plastic and lithium smell, especially noticeable when I’ve been away for a day or so. I think our couch absorbed all that smoke smell :(
I had a coworker who’s laptop started emitting smoke in a meeting. thankfully this was in the days when you could still remove batteries. That was a nice safety feature.

My Chromebook self-destructed a couple years ago and nearly burned our house down. That thing also was the shortest lived computer I’ve ever owned.
