A heat dissipation device includes a base, a heat-dissipation portion
attached to the base, at least one heat pipe connecting the base and the
heat-dissipation portion and a fan directly secured to the
heat-dissipation portion. The heat-dissipation portion comprises a
square, tubular housing having opposite front and rear end portions
opening to surroundings and a plurality of fins extending inclinedly and
inwardly from an inner circumferential periphery of the housing. The
housing of the heat-dissipation portion is employed as a fan duct to
guide an airflow generated by the fan through the fins; the inclined
orientation of the fins facilitates the airflow to flow toward the inner
circumferential periphery of the housing and lower parts of the fins
adjacent the inner circumferential periphery, whereby the airflow can
effectively take heat away from the heat-dissipation portion.
