Abstract
The present invention generally relates a portable computer, more particularly, to a structural frame for a portable computer. The frame includes a body, at least one hinge supporter, an input and output (I/O) port bracket, and a channel. The hinge supporter supports a display panel of the portable computer. The I/O port bracket accommodates a plurality of I/O terminals. The channel guides a liquid unexpectedly appearing on the body to a predetermined location. The frame is preferable made of a metal material for shielding and absorbing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and for strengthening the structure of the portable computer. The frame further contacts a heat-generating electronic device to dissipate the heat generated therefrom.
