1. A computing device, comprising:
- a housing that extends between a pair of oppositely disposed sidewalls; and
a support system that includes an outer segment and an inner segment that telescopically extend from and telescopically retract into the housing, the outer and inner segments including a plurality of airflow vents that dissipate thermal energy generated by the computing device and the outer and inner segments extending across a lateral dimension of the housing between the pair of oppositely disposed sidewalls of the housing to support at least a portion of the housing in an elevated position relative to a support surface.

17. A computer, comprising:
-
a base having a housing; a display that rotatably connects to the base; and a support system including a plurality of telescopically engaged segments that support at least a portion of the base of the computer in an elevated position relative to a support surface, the plurality of telescopically engaged segments extendable from a retracted position located within the base to an extended position and extending across a lateral dimension of the base between two opposing sidewalls, wherein the plurality of telescopically engaged segments extend perpendicular with the base in the extended position and retract into the base in the retracted position.
