Abstract
A portable computer includes a display unit and a keyboard unit having a housing with a rear portion pivoted to the display unit. Two supporting legs are respectively disposed on left and right sides of the rear side portion of the housing. Each of the supporting legs includes an elongated support body pivoted to the housing at the top end portion thereof and a stopper projection secured to and protruding inward from the lower end portion of the support body. When not in use, the support bodies are stored within leg mounting portions of the housing and the stopper projections are stored in a groove unit. When in use, the projections are rotated to supporting positions so as to contact the bottom surface of the housing, thus raising the rear portion of the housing.
