    Abstract: An electronic device may have a housing formed from a rigid material such as metal or fiber-composite material. A display such as an organic light-emitting diode display may be attached to a planar wall portion of the housing using a layer of adhesive. A display cover layer may be attached to the organic light-emitting diode with a layer of adhesive. The adhesive layers may be rigid to enhance device stiffness. The housing may have curved sidewall portions that extend outwardly from the planar wall portion to enhance stiffness. The organic light-emitting diode display may have an array of pixels formed from thin-film transistor circuitry. The thin-film transistor circuitry may be formed on a substrate such as a glass substrate that is attached to the planar wall portion. The organic light-emitting diode display may have a circular polarizer that is attached to the thin-film transistor circuitry.

    Abstract: One or more floating fastener assemblies used to fasten components together are described. In some embodiments, the components are top and bottom portions of an enclosure of a computing device. Each floating fastener assembly can include a fastener having at least one surface that can engage with a surface of the enclosure to limit the rotation of the fastener during fastening. Each floating fastener can also include a clearance area for the fastener to “float” in a lateral direction with respect to the enclosure. Thus, when corresponding openings in the top and bottom portions of the enclosure are not exactly aligned, each fastener can shift laterally to allow screws to engage to fasten the top and bottom portions together.

    Abstract: A configurable, force-sensitive input structure for an electronic device is disclosed. The input structure has a metal contact layer, a sense layer positioned below the metal contact layer, and a drive layer capacitively coupled to the sense layer. The input structure may also have a compliant layer positioned between and coupled to the sense layer and the drive layer, a rigid base layer positioned below the drive layer, and a set of supports positioned between the metal contact layer and the rigid base layer.

    Abstract: A removable assembly for quickly inserting and removing a mass storage device from a compartment situated on the case of a portable computing device is described. The removable assembly is made of a mass storage device, a bracket which serves as a carrier for the mass storage device, and a metal plate. The mass storage device can be a solid state drive (SSD) card. The bracket is a single-piece plastic structure that can be deflected for snap insertion into the compartment and snap removal from the compartment. The metal plate conducts heat from the solid state drive (SSD) card to prevent it from overheating.
