An exemplary self-cleaning computer includes an enclosure defining an air inlet therein, a control processing unit (CPU) received in the enclosure, a vibration element mounted on the enclosure, and a control device electrically connected between the CPU and the vibration element. The control device is configured to direct the vibration element to vibrate when the computer is in a particular predefined state, and thereby the enclosure is agitated and clogged dust dislodges therefrom.
