Abstract

The present invention discloses a portable computer with a hidden keyboard, which includes a main system having a display device on one side and a support board pivotally connected to the main system, so that the support board can be turned to integrate with the main system or support the main system on a disposing surface. One end of the support board pivotally connected with the main system has an open slot disposed concavely inward for movably storing a keyboard. Positioning elements disposed between the pivotal ends of the support board and the main system each presses against the main system and the support board, when the support board is turned to support the main system on the disposing surface, to form an included angle therebetween for preventing the main system from tumbling towards the support board due to the heavy weight of the main system.
