First Claim
1. A portable computer comprising:
- a machine body approximately rectangular in shape comprising a front end, a rear end, a top face and a bottom face;
a liquid crystal display approximately rectangular in shape comprising an upper end and a lower end;
a connecting device comprising a front end and a rear end, the front end of the connecting device fixed to the rear end of the machine body in a rotatable manner, the rear end of the connecting device fixed to the lower end of the liquid crystal display;
wherein the connecting device enables the liquid crystal display to be folded upon the top face of the machine body by a forward rotation or upon the bottom face of the machine body by a backward rotation; and
a base with a recession installed on a top of the base wherein when the liquid crystal display is folded towards the bottom face of the machine body by a backwards rotation, the front end of the machine body is capable of being vertically inserted into the recession of the base so that the liquid crystal display is capable of being hung from the machine body vertically.
