Description

Laptop

The present invention mainly relates to a notebook computer, and more particularly to a notebook computer having an antenna in a casing and a support structure for dispersing stress in a plastic area of the casing corresponding to the antenna.

Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a partial perspective view of a known notebook computer, wherein a casing 91 is made of metal material, and an antenna 92 for wireless communication is disposed inside the casing 91. However, since the casing 91 is made of metal material, the casing 91 will shield the radiation of the antenna 92, so that the radio frequency (RF) signal of the antenna 92 is shielded by the casing 91, thereby reducing the performance of the antenna 92.

To this end, the known laptop computer combines plastic material on the side wall of the casing 91 to form a plastic encapsulation structure 93, so that the wireless radio frequency signal of the antenna 92 can be transmitted by the plastic encapsulation structure 93 without causing a decrease in the performance of the antenna 92.

Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a diagram of the SVTP test of the known laptop computer. When the rubber-encapsulated structure 93 of the known laptop computer is subjected to a thrust F test, it cannot meet the test specification standard of 15 kgf, thereby causing the rubber-encapsulated structure 93 to easily crack.

In view of this, it is necessary to provide a notebook computer to solve the above-mentioned problem.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a notebook computer, which can be provided with an antenna in a casing, and a support structure for dispersing stress is provided in a plastic area of the casing corresponding to the antenna.
