Abstract
An integrated palm rest and battery pack in a portable computer system includes a base member of the portable computer having a keyboard. The base member has a multi-level surface adjacent the keyboard. A first portion of the multi-level surface defines a palm rest surface. A second portion of the multi-level surface simultaneously defines an extended palm rest area and a battery housing. The two portions define a pair of adjacent arcuate cascading surfaces.
