According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus which includes a function of executing a predetermined task upon resuming from a power saving state at a predetermined timing, and changing to the power saving state after the task is completed, comprises an determination unit configured to determine whether the information processing apparatus satisfies a predetermined condition every predetermined timing of executing the predetermined task in the power saving state of the information processing apparatus, and a control unit configured to control to execute the predetermined task upon resuming the information processing apparatus from the power saving condition when the determination unit determines that the information processing apparatus satisfies the predetermined condition, and maintain the information processing apparatus in the power saving mode when the determination unit determines that the information processing apparatus does not satisfy the predetermined condition.

Information processing apparatus and operation control method

According to one embodiment, a battery unit comprises a plurality of cells and a case to contain the cells. The case includes a first part to contain at least one cell, a second part to contain at least one cell, and a third part to connect the first and second parts. At least a portion of the third part is made thinner than the first and second parts.

Battery unit having case to contain cells

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus has a housing, a first heat emitter and a second heat emitter which are accommodated in the housing, and a cooling device accommodated in the housing. The cooling device includes a heat sink to cool the first heat emitter, a first heat pipe which thermally connects the first heat emitter with the heat sink, a second heat pipe, and a fan unit which cools the heat sink and the second heat pipe. The second heat pipe has a first end portion which is thermally connected to the second heat emitter, and a second end portion which is located near the heat sink.

Electronic apparatus

A portable computer system includes a keyboard for inputting at least a password, and a main CPU for controlling the system operation to perform a data processing. Particularly, the computer system further includes a password control section, holding one or more registered passwords as being unreadable by direct access from the main CPU, for allowing the main CPU to perform the data processing when a password identical to one of the registered passwords held therein is input by the keyboard.
