ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, the invention provides a pen-based computing system. The system comprises a tablet unit including a display screen and an electronic assembly housed within an enclosure; and a separate base unit including two panels connected via a hinge, a first one of the panels bearing a keyboard, and a second one of the panels being arcuately displaceable relative to the first panel to prop the tablet unit in a viewing position in which the display screen makes a viewing angle with the keyboard of greater than 90 degrees, wherein the tablet unit and the first panel have complementary formations to prevent sliding movement of the tablet unit relative to the first panel when in the viewing position.
