Information handling system housing integrated vapor chamber

A method for thermal management of an information handling system, the method comprising:

• capturing thermal energy released by a processor at a main housing portion of the information handling system;
• transferring the thermal energy though a thermal conduit to a lid housing portion rotationally coupled to the main housing portion at a hinge protrusion extending from an inner surface of the lid housing portion;
• and
• releasing the thermal energy from the main housing portion at the lid housing portion though a vapor chamber integrated in the lid housing portion hinge protrusion.

A system for thermal management of a portable information handling system, the system comprising:

• a thermal sink thermally coupled to a processor in a main housing portion, the thermal sink absorbing thermal energy from the processor;
• a lid housing portion having inner and outer plates coupled together to form a sealed chamber, the sealed chamber containing a fluid at a pressure associated with a predetermined saturation point;
• and
• a thermal conduit transferring the thermal energy from the thermal sink to the lid housing portion, the fluid vaporizing to distribute the thermal energy across substantially all of the lid housing portion.
