1. A desktop consumer electronic product, comprising:

  • a multi-part cylindrically shaped body having a first part and a second part that are separable from each other and that define, respectively, a first internal volume and a second internal volume each of which has a cross section that is circular and centered at a common longitudinal axis, and wherein the first part has a first opening and wherein the second part includes a circular base capable of supporting at least the second part in a vertical orientation on a horizontal surface during operation and comprising an annular arrangement of openings at a circumference that allow passage of air and acoustic energy; and

    a computing engine comprising interconnected electronic components at least some of which are symmetrically disposed about the longitudinal axis, the computing engine comprising;

    a first circular printed circuit board (cPCB) centered at and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and located in the first internal volume and in proximity to the first opening and having a first active surface that includes (i) a first board to board (B2B) connector and (ii) an RF circuit that is coupled to an RF antenna that is operable to form a communication channel using a wireless protocol,a second cPCB that is centered at and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and located in the second internal volume and having a second active surface (i) that faces the first active surface and (ii) that includes a second B2B connector, anda flexible connector having a first end that connects to the first B2B connector and a second end that connects to the second B2B connector.
