Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes in its body at least a power supply unit, a disk type storage and a printed circuit board arranged in a predetermined order and further has a keyboard unit which can be sandwiched between the display unit and a keyboard unit supporting portion extending from the body by pivotally moving the display unit. A detector for detecting the detachment of the keyboard unit from the body may be provided to restrict the range of pivotal movement of the display unit in accordance with a detection signal of the detector. Further, the display unit may be provided with pilot light emitting portions, thereby making it possible to recognize a condition of the information processing apparatus.
