Abstract
Edge component shells having reduced height portions are described herein. In one or more implementations, a computing device includes a housing configured to contain and secure componentry for the computing device. A display module for the computing device is positioned within the housing with a topside of the display module being oriented towards an outside of the housing. An edge component such as connection port, wireless radio device, sensor, or other component integrated with the computing device is configured with a shell having a reduced height portion. The edge component is arranged in the housing with the reduced height portion of the shell positioned underneath the display module such that the display module partially overlaps the shell of the edge component along an underside of the display module.
