ABSTRACT:
An AC-powerable portable computer has an upper housing in which the central processing and power supply portions of the computer operating system are disposed, and a base housing in which the hard and floppy disc drive portions of the computer operating system are disposed. The bottom side of the upper housing is connected to the top side of the base housing in a manner permitting the upper housing to be tilted forwardly and rearwardly relative to the base housing to permit a user of the computer to adjust the viewing angle of a display screen structure fixedly secured to a front side of the upper housing for pivotal movement therewith. A latch structure releasably locks the upper housing, and the screen structure fixedly secured thereto, in an upright storage and transport orientation in which the keyboard portion of the computer is removably latched over the front side of the screen structure. A position retention structure is operative to frictionally hold the upper housing in a pivotally adjusted position thereof. The overall housing and display screen arrangement of the computer, and the location of the processing and disc drive portions of the system respectively within the upper and lower housings, gives the computer a particularly compact horizontal footprint and permits the incorporation of expansion bay space within the upper housing without the usual necessity of attaching an add-on expansion module thereto.
