ABSTRACT:
A furniture with an integrated computer comprises an easy chair with large, thick cushions, and a pair of wide armrests that extend from about waist level to almost the ground. The right armrest is hollow, and serves as the case of a personal computer by housing the circuit boards, power supply, and hard disk drive. A small console at the front of the right armrest houses removable media drives within easy reach. A pad on the right armrest supports a mouse, joystick, or other input device. A monitor support and a keyboard support are mounted on a horizontal arm pivotally attached to the left armrest, and respectively support a monitor and a keyboard. A pair of speakers are mounted on either side of a headrest. A reclining mechanism arranged under the seat enables a backrest to be reclined, and a footrest to be extended by moving a lever on a side of the chair. In a second embodiment, a furniture with an integrated computer comprises a desk with a wide hollow leg housing a personal computer, and a disk drive console pivotally mounted on a desktop. The console is retractable flush into the desktop.
