Abstract
A computer system includes a stationary portion having at least one stationary processor module and portable portion having at least one portable processor module. The stationary processor module can operate the stationary portion independently when the portable portion is removed from the stationary portion. In one embodiment, the stationary processor module and portable processor module can operate the stationary portion in parallel fashion, when the portable portion is connected to the stationary portion. In another embodiment, the portable processor module can take over the stationary processor module to operate the stationary portion, when the portable portion is connected to the stationary portion
