    Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to include a first housing, a second housing, where the second housing includes a fan, an inlet, and actuators, and a hinge, where the hinge rotatably couples the first housing to the second housing. When the first housing is rotated over the inlet, the actuators lower the inlet to create a gap between the inlet and the first housing. In some examples, the inlet includes slats and when the first housing is rotated over the inlet, a distance between each of the slats increases from a first distance to a second distance.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a portable computing device is described. The portable computing device includes a first surface comprising at least one user interface. The portable computing device also includes a second surface opposite the first surface. Further, the portable computing device includes at least one speaker port in the first surface. Further yet, the portable computing device includes a collapsible speaker chamber configured on the second surface opposite the at least one speaker port. Moreover, the portable computing device includes a speaker configured in the portable computing device between the speaker port and the collapsible speaker chamber.

    Abstract: Technologies for a hinge for a dual-screen clamshell computing device include a hinge having a drive shaft and a driven shaft. The drive shaft is fixed to a member such as a secondary display housing of the computing device. The driven shaft is rotatably coupled to another member such as a base housing of the computing device. The hinge includes a one-way needle bearing fixed to the same member as the driven shaft. The driven shaft passes through the one-way needle bearing, which allows free rotation of the driven shaft in one direction and prevents rotation of the driven shaft in the other direction. The hinge includes a coupling joint that selectively couples the drive shaft and the driven shaft. The computing device includes a trigger that is operable to selectively engage and disengage the coupling joint of the hinge. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Techniques for overlay surfaces for compute devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, an overlay surface on a base portion of a compute device can be moved from a folded or closed position (in which it does not cover the keyboard) to an unfolded or open position (in which it covers part of the keyboard). The base portion includes a touch sensor that allows the overlay surface to be used as a touch surface. In another embodiment, an overlay surface of a compute device is movable from one position adjacent a display of the compute device to another position adjacent a base of the compute device. The overlay surface is electrically switchable from a transparent state to an opaque state, allowing the display to be seen through it in one position and allowing it to be used as an opaque drawing surface in another position.
