Electronic device slot antennas

Apparatus comprising:

• a stand having a base portion configured to rest on a surface and having a neck portion extending from the base portion;
• a hinge barrel on the neck portion of the stand;
• a housing having a conductive housing wall with an opening;
• a display mounted to the housing opposite the conductive housing wall;
• a conductive tongue that protrudes through the opening in the conductive housing wall, wherein the conductive tongue is coupled to the hinge barrel, the conductive tongue and the housing being rotatable with respect to the stand about a hinge axis running through the hinge barrel;
• and
• a slot antenna having a slot element in the conductive tongue.

An electronic device comprising:

• a housing having a conductive housing wall that forms a first face of the electronic device, wherein the conductive housing wall comprises an opening;
• a display mounted to the housing, wherein the display forms a second face of the electronic device opposite the conductive housing wall;
• a mounting bracket coupled to the conductive housing wall, wherein the mounting bracket is separated from the conductive housing wall by a cavity;
• a conductive structure having a support plate coupled to the conductive housing wall at an interior of the housing and having a conductive tongue, wherein the conductive tongue extends from the support plate and protrudes through the opening and into the cavity;
• and
• a slot antenna having a slot element in the conductive tongue.
