Airflow intake vent located proximate to upper edge of keyboard

A housing comprising:

• a cover with an opening formed therein through which an information handling resource is accessible to a user of the information handling resource;
• a support tray for mechanically supporting the information handling resource and positioning the information handling resource within the opening and relative to the cover;
• and
• a sidewall mechanically interfaced between the cover and the support tray, the sidewall having an airflow intake vent formed through the sidewall such that when air pressure inside the housing is lower than that outside the housing, air flows from outside the housing, then through the opening, then through the airflow intake vent.
