ABSTRACT:
A notebook computer includes physical security apparatus for locking a display and system unit together in a `clamshell` configuration. The security apparatus also prevents removal of peripheral devices and disables inputs from the computer keyboard and mouse. In some modes of operation the security apparatus also prevents powering up the computer and undocking of the computer from a docking station. A single user action results in locking the clamshell, locking the peripheral units in place and disabling the keyboard and mouse. Similarly, a user single action results in turning off the security measures (e.g., unlocking the clamshell, unlocking the peripheral units and enabling the keyboard and mouse).
