ABSTRACT:
An information processing apparatus which comprises a main body in a flat, plane box shape, a flat input section provided on the front surface of the main body, a stand, provided on the rear surface of the main body, having two or more tilting positions relative to the main body where it is preferable that the stand has a retracted position wherein the stand falls down into the rear surface of the main body, a first tilt position where the main body in-clines at a relatively small angle to a desk surface, and a second tilt position where the main body inclines at a relatively large angle to the desk surface. In the first tilting position, the main body is inclined slightly toward the front relative to the desk surface. With the main body thus positioned, it is easy to manipulate a pen held against the input face of the input section. In the second tilt position, the main body is held almost upright relative to the desk surface. When an external keyboard, for example, is attached to the main body for data input with the input section being used only as a display, and the main body is in the second tilt position, an operator can see the display easily while using the keyboard, and the computer's usability is enhanced. In the retracted position, the stand is fully retained in the rear surface of the main body, and the thickness of the main body is not expanded with the stand in this position, so that the computer can be carried or stored.
