Abstract
An external extension for holding a portable computer includes a base, a keyboard module disposed on a first area of the base, a pin set disposed on a third area of the base and electrically connected to the keyboard module, and a protecting cover disposed on the first area in a pivotable manner and adjacent to a second area of the base. The protecting cover covers the keyboard module when the protecting cover pivots relative to the base at a first position. The protecting cover is for holding the portable computer when the protecting cover pivots relative to the base at a second position and a side of the protecting cover contacts against a lateral side of the second area, so that a visual angle can be formed between the portable computer and the keyboard module.
