An electronic device can be provided with a first housing at least
partially containing a first electronic component, a second housing, and
a hinge assembly coupled to the first housing and the second housing. The
hinge assembly may be configured to dissipate heat generated by the first
electronic component away from the first housing. In some embodiments,
the hinge assembly may be configured to dissipate heat generated by the
first electronic component away from the first housing and on to the
second housing. The second housing may include a heat spreader for
dissipating the heat from the hinge assembly throughout the second
housing.
