Abstract
An ergonomic laptop computer includes a main computer body with a keyboard unit, and a display unit. The height, distance and angle of the display unit can be adjusted by means of controllably extendable supportive members pivotally attached to the main computer body and attached to the display unit. The overall stability of the laptop computer is ensured by either appropriately selecting its weight or by using members attached posteriorly to the main computer unit that can controllably slide in and out of said main computer unit. In another embodiment, the height, distance and angle of the display unit can be adjusted by means of a free standing controllably extendable support base.
