Notebook computer with replaceable battery unit
First Claim
71. A notebook computer comprising:
- a) a base housing structure enclosing a keyboard, microprocessor and other electronics, whereby the base housing structure forms a first leaf of the notebook computer;
b) a display panel assembly comprising a flat panel display and other electronics, whereby the display panel assembly forms a second leaf structure of the notebook computer, and wherein first and second leafs are physically connected by a hinge;
c) a battery source section comprising a battery and electrical connection, wherein the battery source section is physically connected to the base housing structure and adapted to form a part of the exterior enclosing structure of the notebook computer; and
d) said battery source section and base housing structure is adapted to relatively quick physical and electronic connection attach and release functions actuated by a user via a finger push button or tab component.

Abstract
A small light weight modular microcomputer based computer and communications systems, designed for both portability and desktop uses. The systems make use of a relative large flat panel display device assembly (2), an expandable hinge device (10), battery power source (9), keyboard assembly (16), and wireless communications devices (32, 51). The systems are capable of bi-directional realtime communications of voice, audio, text, graphics and video data. Both wire-based or wireless communications methods and devices are implemented. Wireless communications devices may include one or more telephone-like handsets (14) and/or earset (34). The wireless communication devices may include one or more antennae (32). Systems can be configured in a portable arrangement similar to conventional personal computers, but can be quickly and easily disassembled and re-assembled for office desktop uses. Systems may consist of a base computer unit (100) comprising wireless communication devices may act as a relay station relaying voice and other data between the handset or earset and external wide area communications networks. The system may be capable of performing, personal digital assistant (PDA), cellular telephone, conventional notebook computer, desktop computer functions.
