Claims

1. A personal computer, provided with a housing comprising at least a battery power supply, a processor and a memory, wherein the housing is divided into a first housing part and a second housing part that is hingingly coupled with the first housing part, and wherein the first housing part comprises a data entry unit and the second housing part comprises a visual display unit, and wherein the battery power supply is accommodated in the second housing part.

2. A personal computer according to claim 1, wherein the battery power supply is accommodated in the second housing part next to the visual display unit, and wherein a hinge coupling the first housing part with the second housing part is provided between the battery power supply and the visual display unit.

3. A personal computer according to claim 1, wherein the second housing part is movable between an operational state and a closed state, and wherein in the closed state there is an open space between at least a portion of the second housing part and the first housing part, thereby forming a handgrip.

4. A personal computer according to claim 3, wherein in the operational state an end of the second housing part forms a support for placing the first housing part at an incline.

5. A personal computer according to claim 1, wherein the data entry unit is hingingly or removably accommodated in the first housing part, and the top side of the first housing part adjoining the data entry unit is substantially also hingingly or removably accommodated in the first housing part, and that immediately below said top side and the data entry unit a mother board is, or may be, provided.

6. A personal computer according to claim 5, wherein terminals for peripheral equipment are provided at a side of the first housing part.
