Abstract
A portable information handling system is assembled and disassembled by a keystone assembly that couples at an upper surface of the portable housing to overlap a keyboard assembly that covers processing components disposed in the portable housing. A motherboard couples to the portable housing under the keyboard assembly with retaining nuts extending from the housing, the motherboard retained in an engaged position by a cooling fan that directs cooling airflow out an exhaust. The exhaust integrates an antenna and coaxial cable in a nonconductive material, such as plastic, and has connectors exposed at the motherboard to interface with a radio, such as for WiFi or Bluetooth. A metallic cooling channel exposed in the exhaust and thermally coupled to the CPU by a heat pipe provides an antenna ground plane and/or a floating portion that acts as a directional parabolic element.
