ABSTRACT:
To provide a portable type information apparatus having a suspend/resume key capable of minimizing a risk of unintentional erroneous key operations, for example, when the apparatus is transported, which is excellent in visibility and operability. The apparatus includes a lower housing 5 having a keyboard 3 and an upper housing 9 coupled to the lower housing 5 to be folded onto the upper surface of the lower housing 5, wherein a suspend/resume key 21 is provided substantially at a central position of the innermost zone of the upper surface of the lower housing relative to the keyboard, so that an unintentional operation of the suspend/resume key 21 is minimized. A state-displaying section 31 for displaying various operation states is located in the upper housing 9 to confront the suspend/resume key 21 when the upper housing 9 is folded, which state-displaying section 31 is provided at a level lower by an amount corresponding to the projecting amount of the suspend/resume key 21 than the upper surface of the upper housing.
