Abstract
A convertible workstation is convertible from a generally flat, planar work surface to a computer workstation. A support panel is pivotably mounted within the work surface and holds a support tray configured for holding a portable computer, such as a laptop computer. When closed, the convertible workstation provides a secure environment for storing a computer and a traditional work surface. When opened, the convertible workstation provides an ergonomically configured computer workstation. The convertible workstation may provide computer connections, for instance power, data, and/or other computer connections, both when the workstation is configured as a computer workstation and when configured as a work surface (thus storing the computer within the workstation).
