## Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a main body unit, a display unit rotatable between a first position where the display unit covers the main body unit and a second position where the display unit stands up with respect to the main body unit, and a securing portion provided at a position astride the display unit and the main body unit, to which an anti-theft wire is secured.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic device comprising:
a main body unit;
a display unit rotatable between a first position where the display unit covers the main body unit and a second position where the display unit stands up with respect to the main body unit, and including a display; and
a display cabinet including a main portion in which the display is retained, and a projecting portion projecting from the main portion to the main body unit;
a through hole formed in the projecting portion and provided astride the display unit and the main body unit, an anti-theft wire is being secured by use of the through hole;
a hinge mechanism provided astride the main body unit and the projecting portion of the display unit and enabling the display unit to be rotatable between the first position and the second position; and
a metal fitting having a “U”-shaped cross section, being integral with the hinge mechanism and fitted in the projecting portion in such a manner as to reinforce the through hole.
