At least two first elongated through hole groups of the second metal plate are arranged in a first direction. Each first elongated through hole of each first elongated through hole group extends in the first direction. A plurality of first elongated through holes in a same first elongated through hole group are arranged at intervals in a second direction. In the first direction, a sum of lengths of a first end part and a second end part of the first elongated through hole is less than a length of the middle part of the first elongated through hole. In the second direction, widths of the first end part and the second end part are both greater than a width of the middle part. The display assembly and the electronic device have the support member that is easily folded and has sufficient support strength.

Information handling system radio antenna selection and control

A portable information handling system rotationally couples main and lid housing portions to each other with a hinge having opposing faces. One of a first or second antenna set disposed on the opposing faces is selected to support wireless communication by a radio disposed in the housing based upon the rotational orientation of the hinge. Optimal antenna selection is confirmed by comparing return signal strength indicator or bit rate error of the first and second antenna sets.
