Abstract
The present invention is a computer arrangement with enhanced cooling capability. The computer arrangement includes a housing having an opening thereon. The housing holds heat generating components, such as a central processing unit and other hardware components and peripheral devices. The computer arrangement further includes a keyboard which is slidably mounted on the housing over the opening, and a display panel which is connected to the keyboard. The keyboard and the display panel are both slidable relative to the opening so as to uncover a portion of the opening to thereby enable an escape of heat from within said housing.
