Abstract

A flexible, wearable computer is convertible between a laptop configuration and a wearable configuration. The various computing elements and battery of the wearable computer are arranged by connector(s), fastener(s), and/or on a support and/or within a housing for operative communication with a display of the laptop computer or of a personal hand-held device, whether pocketable or non-pocketable. Of course, prior to deployment in a laptop configuration, the computing elements and battery of the wearable computer are capable of deployment in many configurations on the body to facilitate comfort and utility.
