ABSTRACT:
A portable information apparatus, such as a portable computer, comprises a housing having a top wall, a keyboard supported by the top wall, and a display unit rotatably coupled to the housing. The display unit can be rotated between a closed position where it covers the top wall and the keyboard and an opened position where it exposes the top wall and the keyboard. The housing incorporates a circuit component and a heatsink. The circuit component generates heat while operating. The heatsink radiates the heat the circuit component generates. The heatsink has a heat-radiating section exposed along the top wall of the housing. The heat-radiating section is opposed by the display unit, no matter whichever position, including the closed and opened positions, the display unit has been rotated to.
