Abstract
Passive cooling of a portable personal computer is enhanced by providing a capability for raising one side of a computer with respect to another thus exposing the bottom surface of the computer base to the ambient air with the heat being dissipated providing an air flow over the bottom surface of the base portion of the computer. A mechanism is provided that is actuated by opening the cover that positions the base in a tilted position. An improved keyboard angle also results.
