Abstract
A vertically disposed notebook comprises a case, a monitor parallel slidably coupled to the case being capable of sliding to either face the case for storage or oppose the case for use, and a removable keyboard for being either received into case in a storage position or removed from case in a use position. By utilizing this, the case is not interfered by monitor and keyboard. Also, various advantages are obtained such as smaller use space and the lift of the blocking of the path of heat dissipation.
