Abstract
An electronic device such as a laptop computer may have an upper housing and a lower housing. The upper housing may be coupled to the lower housing by a hinge. The upper housing may be rotatable relative to the lower housing between an open position and a closed position. The lower housing may have an upper metal wall, a lower metal wall, and a metal sidewall that couples the lower metal wall to the upper metal wall. The lower metal housing may have a finger scoop in the metal sidewall. The finger scoop may have a surface that is oriented at a non-parallel and non-perpendicular angle to a lateral surface of the upper housing when the upper housing is in the closed position. The device may have an antenna with a radiating slot in the surface of the finger scoop.
