Laptop computer with slideable keyboard for exposing a heat generating surface for more efficient heat dissipation

摘要

An arrangement and method for increasing the cooling capacity and heat dissipation of laptop computers, wherein the computer possesses a bottom keyboard which is articulated to the lower edge of an openable (LCD) display panel, and wherein at least components of the electronics are housed in the keyboard housing. The keyboard is adapted to be slid outwardly at least partially from the computer keyboard housing in which the keyboard is normally arranged, such that heat can be more readily and directly dispensed to the surroundings. The keyboard is concurrently tilted upwardly at the end distant from a user so as to provide an increased surface area for the enhanced cooling of the electronic components which are normally housed beneath the keyboard.
