Abstract

The present invention features a robust customizable computing system comprising: a processing control unit; an external object; and means for operably connecting the processing control unit to the external object, the processing control unit introducing intelligence into the external object, thus causing the external object to perform smart functions. The processing control unit preferably comprises: (a) an encasement module comprising a main support chassis having a plurality of wall supports and a plurality of junction centers containing means for supporting a computer component therein, a dynamic back plane that provides support for connecting peripheral and other computing components directly to a system bus without requiring an interface, means for enclosing the main support chassis and providing access to an interior portion of the encasement module; (b) one or more computer processing components disposed within the junction centers of the encasement module; and (c) means for cooling the interior portion of the encasement module.

Claims (5)

1. An non-hinged encasement of a device configured to house a processor, the encasement comprising a plurality of external surfaces, wherein at least some of the external surfaces comprise aluminum, a speaker component at a first surface, a camera at a second surface, and a display screen at the second surface, and wherein the device comprises an antenna that does not extend beyond the plurality of external surfaces of the encasement and is capable of being used to exchange information across the internet.

2. The encasement of claim 1 , wherein the encasement houses a computer system.

3. The encasement of claim 1 , wherein the aluminum comprises at least one of: (i) extruded aluminum; (ii) an aluminum composite; and (iii) a high grade aluminum.

4. The encasement of claim 1 , wherein the encasement is for a hand-held device.

5. The encasement of claim 4 , wherein the device comprises a thin profile.
