ABSTRACT:
A mobile office system includes a folding rack system for integrating with a computer system including a portable computer and peripheral components. The folding rack system includes a first shelf for supporting a portable computer and a port replicator, and a second shelf for supporting one or more peripheral components. A connecting structure is provided for coupling the first shelf and the second shelf, wherein the connecting structure moves the second shelf between a stowage position and a computer operating position. The computer, port replicator and peripheral component can remain attached to the folding rack system when in the stowage position and when stowed in a carrying case. A retaining mechanism is coupled to the connecting structure for retaining the second shelf in an intermediate position between the stowage position and the operating position. A cable for connecting the portable computer and the peripheral components is embedded into the connecting structure.
