Abstract
A portable PC is provided with a mechanism for elevating and lowering a pointing device in the keyboard of the PC. The elevating and lowering mechanism elevates and lowers the pointing device in response to the opening and closing of the cover of the computer to provide a proper operating height to the pointing device when the cover is open while reducing the thickness of the PC with the cover closed.
