Abstract
Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to a case having a base unit and a display unit. The base unit includes an emitting surface. The display unit includes a dissipating member. A hinge connects the base unit and the display unit, the hinge connected below at least part of the heat emitting surface or first vent and the heat dissipating member or second vent. The emitting surface and the dissipating member are to overlap or align when the display unit is in a closed position.
Claims15
A case, comprising:
- a base unit including an emitting surface;
- a display unit including,
- a stand having a heat dissipating member, and
- a lid connected to the stand, the lid being above the stand;
- and
- a hinge to connect the base unit and the display unit, the hinge connected below at least part of the heat emitting surface and the heat dissipating member, wherein
- the heat emitting surface and the heat dissipating member are to overlap when display unit is in a closed position.
A case, comprising:
- a base unit including,
- a heat generating component to generate heat,
- a vent at a first side of the base to dissipate the heat of the heat generating unit;
- a display unit including,
- a display, and
- an opening to align with at least part of the vent if the display unit is in a closed position;
- and
- a hinge to connect the display unit to the first side of the base.
A method for dissipating heat from a case, comprising:
- generating the heat at a heat generating component inside a base unit;
- diffusing the heat from a first vent at a first side of the base unit;
- and
- passing the diffused heat through a second vent of a display unit connected to the first side via a hinge below at least part of the first and second vents, if the display unit is in a closed position, wherein the first and second vents overlap when the display unit is in the closed position.
