Abstract: In one example an electronic device comprises a chassis, a processing device disposed in the chassis, a first heat spreader positioned adjacent the processing device and in thermal communication with the processing device, and a second heat spreader positioned adjacent the first heat spreader and in thermal communication with the first heat spreader. In some examples the second heat spreader is moveable between a first position in which the second heat spreader is disposed within the chassis and a second position in which at least a portion of the second heat spreader extends outside the chassis. Other examples may be described.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods associated with flexible heat spreader design are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an electronic device may include a component, a heat dissipation member, and a flexible member. The heat dissipation member may be coupled to the component via a flexible portion of the electronic device, the component located on a first side of the flexible portion and the heat dissipation member located on a second side of the flexible portion. The flexible member may be thermally coupled to the component and the heat dissipation member, wherein the flexible member extends along the flexible portion from the first side to the second side and is to transfer heat from the component to the heat dissipation member. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses may provide for a flexible display assembly including a flexible display and a backplane coupled to the flexible display, wherein at least a portion of the backplane comprises a super elastic sheet. In one example, the backplane includes a first rigid sheet metal portion and a second rigid sheet metal portion, wherein the super-elastic sheet is joined between the first and second rigid sheet metal portions.

Abstract: A keyboard is to be designed as a standardized keyboard having a certain length, width and thickness. The keyboard may be used interchangeably among different mobile computer systems. A keyboard cable associated with the keyboard may be designed such that it can accommodate an interface connector at any location relative to a bottom end of the keyboard. One or more control devices may also be used in conjunction with the keyboard. The control device may be designed with standardized dimensions, electrical interface, interface connector and cable length to enable it to accompany the keyboard among the different mobile computer systems.

Abstract: A customizable notebook panel (CNP) manufactured with a photo image is to be attached to a surface of a computer system using a white color adhesive. To prevent streaks and bubbles from being visible on the CNP, a filler layer is used in between the CNP and the surface. Other techniques to reduce the visibility of the streaks and bubbles may include increasing the thickness of the adhesive layer and using inks that are opaque.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a system is disclosed. The system includes a chassis including a printed circuit board (PCB) and a battery pack. The battery pack includes a connector to enable the battery pack to couple to a PCB which is mounted either above the centerline of the battery pack connector and on or below the centerline of the battery pack power connector.

Abstract: A retention mechanism for securing an electrical connector of a printed circuit card to an electrical connector of a main circuit board is presented. The retention mechanism has a base, through which each of the connectors fit, having a number of snaplets and a number of guiding ledges. The snaplets secure the retention mechanism to the electrical connector of the main circuit board, while the guiding ledges support the positioning of the electrical connector of the printed circuit card in the electrical connector of the main circuit board. A locking feature secures the electrical connector of the printed circuit card in place by fitting into a slot between a card arm and the main body of the printed circuit card. A handle extends from the locking feature, allowing for easy manipulation, so that the locking feature may be locked and unlocked and the printed circuit card may be inserted or removed at will.
