An electronic apparatus to which an input device is connected, comprising:
- a main unit;
- a display unit rotatably attached to the main unit;
- and
- a retaining mechanism retaining at least one portion of the input device into a space which is formed between the display unit and the main unit when the input device is not used,
- wherein the input device is completely non-destructibly detachable from the space.
An input device detachably connected to an electronic apparatus having a display unit rotatably attached to a main unit, the input device comprising:
- at least one engaging member engaging the main unit so that at lest one portion of the input device is retained into a space which formed between the display unit and the main unit, wherein the input device is completely non-destructibly detachable from the space.
An electronic apparatus, comprising:
- a main unit;
- a keyboard detachable from the main unit;
- a display unit rotatably attached to the main unit, and
- a supporting member rotably mounted to the main unit to hold the keyboard against the main unit when the supporting member is lowered from the main unit the keyboard is mounted on the supporting member, wherein when the keyboard is mounted on the supporting member and the display unit is rotated down, the keyboard is disposed in a space between the display unit and the main unit, wherein the input device is completely non-destructibly detachable from the space.
A main unit used for an electronic apparatus to which an input device is connected, the electronic apparatus having a display unit rotatably attached to the main unit,
- the main unit comprising a support member,
- wherein the support member projects from a front surface of the main unit into a space formed between the display unit and the main unit, so that at least one portion of the input device is retained into the space when the input device is not used, and
