ABSTRACT:
A drainage structure is provided for a portable electronic device, such as a portable computer. The drainage structure includes an inclination formed on a top surface of a body of the portable electronic device to support a keyboard device in an inclined manner so that water spilled on the keyboard device or the top surface can be expelled out of the electronic device by gravity. If desired, height adjusting units can be arranged between the keyboard device and the top surface of the body to selectively maintain the keyboard in a horizontal condition. A drain hole or groove can be selectively formed in the body of the electronic device to facilitate drainage of water.
