Heat dissipation module for hinged mobile computer
First Claim
1. A heat dissipation module for use in a mobile computer, the mobile computer having a base and a display unit pivotally coupled to the base, the base having a ventilating portion, the heat dissipation module comprising:
- a heat pipe having an evaporating section, a condensing section, and a flexible intermediate section;
the evaporating section being adapted for being disposed adjacent the ventilating portion of the base, the condensing section being adapted for being coupled to the display unit of the mobile computer; and
a cooling fan for being disposed spatially corresponding to the evaporating section.
