Abstract

A portable computer that conserves power when the computer operates from its portable power source. The portable computer has a processor operatively coupled to an input device, an output device, and a memory device. The portable computer also includes a portable power source operatively coupled to the processor, and a selectively operable cooling system that is adapted to create a heat transfer zone in which heat dissipates from the processor. The cooling system has a cooling unit that may be selectively disabled in a desired power-saving mode during which the processor may continue to operate. The cooling unit is preferably disabled by electrically disconnecting the cooling unit from the portable power source to de-energize the cooling system, or by physically disconnecting the cooling system from the portable computer.
