ABSTRACT:
A portable computer includes a base with a keyboard on an upper surface and having a front portion and a rear portion. A display housing is connected to the base. There is a palm rest disposed and extending across the front portion of the base. The palm rest includes a numeric keypad. The numeric keypad can be enabled by depressing a function key located on the keyboard, such as the Num Lock key, or optionally by a switch associated with a cover. This cover can also be used without an associated switch to prevent accidental activation of a key on the numeric keypad.
