International ClassG06F 001/16AbstractA portable computing device includes a processing unit coupled with a keyboard, a recording medium, and a display. The keyboard and the recording medium form portions of a support structure of the device and are generally directed in different directions. The recording medium is configured to receive input from a stylus operated by a user. The display is movable (e.g., pivotable and/or translatable) about the support structure to selectively suit use of the display in conjunction with the keyboard or use of the display in conjunction with the stylus and the recording medium. An elongatable arm can serve to connect the display with the support structure.Other References
