Portable computing device with wireless capability while in folded position

摘要

A portable computing device includes a display unit and a base unit coupled via a hinge such that a surface of the display unit is parallel to a surface of the display unit when the portable computing device is manipulated into a folded position. The display unit includes a display panel and a radiating element of an antenna, the radiating element disposed at an end of the display unit that is distal to the hinge. The base unit includes a metal base chassis, the metal base chassis defining a keep out aperture at a distal end of the base unit that is substantially devoid of metal material from the metal base chassis. The keep out aperture is axially displaced from a position of the radiating element when the portable computing device is manipulated into the folded position.

1. A portable computing device comprising:
a display unit and a base unit coupled via a hinge such that a surface of the display unit is parallel to a surface of the base unit when the portable computing device is in a folded position; the display unit comprising a display panel and a radiating element of an antenna, the radiating element disposed at an end of the display unit that is distal to the hinge; and the base unit comprising an information handling component and a metal base chassis, the metal base chassis defining a keep out aperture at an end of the base unit that is distal to the hinge, the keep out aperture being axially displaced from a position of the radiating element when the portable computing device is in the folded position, and the keep out aperture being substantially devoid of metal material from the metal base chassis, wherein a portion of the metal base chassis extends beyond an edge of the keep out aperture that is proximal to the hinge, the extension in a direction away from the hinge.
