Abstract
A docking device is used for docking a portable computer. The docking device defines an axis along which the portable computer moves between a docking position in the docking device and an undocking position out of the docking device. The docking device includes a hooking member and a resilient mechanism being engaged with the hooking member for providing a restoration force to the hooking member. The hooking member includes a first side surface for being pressed by the portable computer as the portable computer moves towards the casing, along where the portable computer moves from the undocked position to the docked position. A first angle is defined between the first side surface and the axis when the portable computer is in the undocked position.
