PORTABLE COMPUTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An electrical assembly, comprising:
- an assembly housing defining an interior volume and comprising an audio port;
a conductive gasket comprising a sheet of conductive fabric wrapped around a closed cell foam substrate; and
an antenna component disposed along an exterior surface of the assembly housing,wherein the conductive gasket prevents electromagnetic interference (EMI) emitted by the antenna component from entering the assembly housing through the audio port when the antenna component is active.

Abstract
A portable electronic device having several features is disclosed. The device can include a retention member that retains flexible circuits extending from a top portion to a bottom portion of the device, thereby allowing some components to be moved from a top portion of the device to a bottom portion. The device may include a cover plate can be secured with a display in the top portion to cover the retention member and other internal components. The device can include an omni-directional port designed to receive a connector different orientations and provide power to the device. The device can include a flexible keyboard having butterfly keycaps. The device can include an array of openings for an audio driver, with some of the array including through holes and blind holes. The device can also include a touch pad having a force feedback sensor and a haptic device.
