Abstract: A power supply for use in a portable electronic device is described. This power supply includes a battery-management circuit board and battery cells. The battery cells include subsets of battery cells in which at least some of the battery cells have different capacities. For example, at least some of the battery cells in the subsets may have different geometric sizes. Furthermore, the battery cells in each of the subsets are electrically coupled to the battery-management circuit board so that each of the subsets has a common total capacity.

Abstract: A portable computing device includes at least a base portion of a lightweight material that includes at least a wedge shaped top case having a trough formed at an interfacing edge thereof. The trough includes a raised portion having a first contact surface and a receiving area, and a bottom case coupled to the top case to form a complete housing for at least a portion of the portable computing device for enclosing at least a plurality of operational components and a plurality of structural components. The portable computing device also includes at least a lid portion pivotally connected to the base portion by a hinge assembly. In the described embodiments, the lid portion has a display in communication with one or more of the plurality of components in said base portion by way of or more electrical conductors that electrically connect the base portion to the lid portion.
