ABSTRACT:
A portable computer is provided that has hand grips on both sides of the main body of the computer. The hand grips allow the computer to be carried with two hands when the display screen is in an open position and allow the computer to be carried with one hand when the display screen is in a closed position. Additionally, a rubber bumper may be installed around the hand grips and the side of the main body of the computer to increase the ability of the computer to withstand impacts with foreign object. Furthermore, the computer may be designed with any one of an elliptical prism shape, a circular prism shape, and an oblong prism shape to further reduce the stress experienced by the computer when the computer undergoes an impact with a foreign object.
For situations when a user wishes to transport the laptop computer without holding the computer in either hand, a shoulder strap may be fastened to the hand grips to allow the computer to be carried over a shoulder.
