ABSTRACT:
A key actuated secure docking apparatus for a portable computer locks the apparatus so that internal electronic devices are prevented from being detached from a base body of a docking apparatus, even if the desktop base is left without a docked portable computer. Further, the key mechanism allows the docking apparatus to be placed in a condition in which power supply for the docking apparatus cannot be turned on even if the power switch for the power supply is turned on. Data in a storage device internal to the docking apparatus cannot be stolen or destroyed by attempting docking with a portable computer since power is not supplied to the storage device.
