  • Publication number: 20160270253
    Abstract: A convection-cooled electronic system includes an electronic device and a stand. The electronic device has air intake openings in a lower housing portion and air exhaust openings in an upper housing portion. The stand has air intake openings. The stand has a periphery, a flat base, and a slot extending across the widest portion of the stand. The slot has a shape configured to receive the lower portion of the device housing. Heat emitted by electronic components within the device housing creates airflow by convection, which causes air to be drawn into the stand through the stand air intake openings and communicated into the device air intake openings. The air is heated as it passes through the device housing, and the heated air exits the device housing through the air exhaust openings.
