In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a processor including logic to determine from data received from one or more sensors, whether the apparatus is in physical contact with a user. The logic is further to set a power management policy of the apparatus based on a processor context, where the processor context is determined based at least in part on whether the apparatus is in physical contact with the user, and where the power management policy is used by the logic to determine a level of power consumption at which to operate the processor. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

An electronic device such as a portable computer may be provided with a lower housing and an upper housing. The electronic device may include hinge structures which allow the upper housing to rotate about a rotational axis relative to the lower housing. The electronic device may include a ventilation port structure with intake openings that allow air to be drawn into the electronic device. The ventilation structure may also include exhaust openings that are used to expel air from the lower housing. When the electronic device is in an open position, it may be desirable for the ventilation structure to form more exhaust openings than when the electronic device is in a closed position. The ventilation structure may form lower exhaust openings when the electronic device is in the closed position and form upper and lower exhaust openings when the electronic device is in the open position.

A foldable electronic device, including a first body, a second body, an air valve movably disposed in the first body, at least one triggering member, and a hinge connecting the first body and the second body, is provided. The first body has multiple openings respectively located at two opposite surfaces. The triggering member is movably disposed in the first body and has a part exposed outside the first body. The air valve and the triggering member are mutually on moving paths of each other. The first body and the second body are rotated to be folded or unfolded relative to each other by the hinge. A part of the triggering member is suitable for bearing a force such that the triggering member drives the air valve, so that the air valve opens or closes the openings.

An electronic device is provided, and the electronic device includes a base, a cover plate, and a bezel. The base has a sidewall where an opening portion is formed. An airflow selectively passes through the opening portion. The cover plate is pivotally connected to the base. The bezel is movably connected to the cover plate, wherein the bezel is rotated facing the opening portion selectively. The arrangement of the bezel may reduce the gap between the bezel and the down edge of the opening portion of the base, reducing the airflow flowing downward back to the heat-dissipation mechanism in the base. Therefore, the heat-dissipation efficiency of the electronic device is enhanced.

A hinge barrel air duct has an elongated body configured to be positioned adjacent to the top panel of an information handling system having a chassis to which the top panel is pivotally connected by a hinge assembly. An exhaust intake is formed in a region of the elongated body of the hinge barrel air duct. The exhaust intake receives exhaust airflow expelled from the chassis. An exhaust outlet is formed in another region of the elongated body of the hinge barrel air duct. The exhaust outlet redirects exhaust airflow away from the chassis.
