Abstract
A portable computer having a main body and a monitor coupled to the main body, by way of a pivoting link having a first end rotatably combined to the monitor so as to tilt and swivel the monitor relative to the main body, and a second end rotatably combined to the main body so as to pivot the monitor relative to the main body. With this configuration, the present invention provides a portable computer in which the monitor can be tilted, swiveled and pivoted relative to the main body, thereby allowing a user to view the monitor from various angles without moving the whole portable computer.
