Abstract
A small and thin electronic apparatus (1) is provided by setting a PC card (2) outside the small electronic apparatus (1). The small electronic apparatus (1) includes a movable PC card connector (3) for connecting to the PC card (2) outside the small electronic apparatus (1). The small electronic apparatus (1) also includes a leg (9). Since the PC card (2) can be set outside the small electronic apparatus (1), a space for setting the PC card (2) is not necessary inside the small electronic apparatus (1). Consequently, down-sizing and reduction of thickness of the electronic apparatus (1) can be realized. Since the PC card (2) can be set outside, the PC card (2) can be used even for a small electronic apparatus (1) having A6 size, which generally does not have a space for setting the PC card (2) inside.
