ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an improved design for a notebook computer with a detachable display unit. A connector is pivotally mounted on the display unit fits into a socket in the main body to provide an electrical connection between the main body and the display unit while allowing the display unit to rotate open and closed onto the main body. A pair of hinge members mechanically connect the display unit to the main body. At least one of the hinge members is slidably mounted on the top side of the main body to allow the user to pull the hinge member to the side, thus increasing the gap between the hinge members, thus allowing the user to either attach or remove the display unit to or from the main body.
