, Description:BACKGROUND

The performance and capabilities of modern computing systems have increased rapidly in recent years. Many computing system today include one or more processors, memory, wireless connectivity, displays and other components requiring electrical power. The number and type of capabilities and components in modern computing systems continues to increase, which often results in increased power consumption. Additionally, modern mobile computing systems continue to decrease in size, resulting in limited space for the different components necessary to implement the increased capabilities. Moreover, modern mobile computing systems are often used in a variety of different locations and usage scenarios which require ergonomically designed systems to ensure a pleasant user experience. As a result, it is desirable to improve mobile computing device designs. Consequently, there exists a substantial need for techniques to adapt mobile computing devices to accommodate components in an ergonomically efficient design.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The embodiments are generally directed to a mobile computing device, apparatus and system. Various embodiments provide a system, apparatus and method that include an enclosure arranged to support a display and one or more processor circuits, the enclosure having an enlarged portion at one side of the enclosure arranged to allow a user to clutch the enclosure with one hand at the one side, the enlarged portion having a thickness that is larger than a thickness of another portion of the enclosure, and the enlarged portion defining a cavity arranged to support one or more energy storage modules. Various embodiments provide for a system, apparatus and method that include a mobile computing device and a removable input device. While referred to hereinafter as a cylindrical portion, it should be understood that the enlarged portion may comprise any suitable shape or orientation and still fall within the described embodiments. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

With the progression over time toward the use of computing devices of decreasing size and cost, the space available for components designed to provide power for the devices in a mobile computing device platform is becoming increasingly limited. Modern mobile computing devices, such as tablet computers, handheld computing devices and smartphones, require mobile power to provide a robust user experience. Current mobile computing devices include rechargeable batteries that are often an afterthought in the design and offer mobile power for a limited time based on the size, shape and capacity of the batteries. These batteries are typically square or rectangular and have large flat surfaces to allow the batteries to fit into areas of the computing device that do not force alterations to the size or shape of the device. These types of batteries, however, are generally not as efficient as cylindrical batteries. Therefore, some embodiments described herein are directed to techniques and designs to ergonomically accommodate cylindrical batteries in a mobile computing device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
