Abstract

A computer chassis has overmolded dampeners for absorbing shock and vibration. Electronic components are hard mounted to points inside the computer chassis. Overmolded dampeners are affixed to corners, surfaces and sides of the laptop such that shock and vibration are absorbed by the dampeners before the shock or vibration can damage the electronic components. Affixing dampeners to portions of the chassis may provide shock and vibration protection with minimal weight.
