Abstract
A portable information handling system transfers thermal energy associated with operation of processing components in a main housing portion to a vapor chamber integrated in a lid housing portion that distributes the thermal energy across the lid housing portion. A hinge protrusion formed in the lid housing portion defines a cylindrical opening that accepts a hinge pin to rotationally couple the housing portions to each other. The cylindrical wall defines a barrier with the vapor chamber so that a thermal conduit passing from the main housing portion to the hinge pin transfers thermal energy from the hinge pin through the cylindrical wall to the vapor chamber.
