1. An electronic apparatus, comprising:
a chassis including:
a bottom surface perpendicular to a vertical direction of the chassis;
a rear surface that is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the chassis; and
a side surface that connects edges, along a left or a right direction of the chassis that is perpendicular to both the vertical direction and a horizontal direction of the chassis, of the bottom surface and the rear surface;
a substrate housed in the chassis and with a processing device mounted thereon;
a speaker device housed in the chassis and having a speaker unit and a speaker box; and
a cooling device housed in the chassis and used to cool the processing device,
wherein the substrate is placed vertically along the vertical direction of the chassis, and
wherein the cooling device includes:
a fan having air intake ports provided on upper and lower surfaces, an exhaust port provided on a side surface, and an impeller, and being placed horizontally in the chassis with a rotating shaft of the impeller placed along the vertical direction of the chassis;
a fin placed facing the exhaust port of the fan and placed horizontally in the chassis;
a heat pipe with a first end connected to the processing device and a second end connected to the fin; and
a duct part facing the fin,
wherein, viewed along the vertical direction of the chassis, the speaker box overlaps the rotating shaft of the fan, the fin, and the duct part of the cooling device, and
wherein, viewed along the left or the right direction of the chassis, the speaker box overlaps the processing device.
