Abstract
A keyboard dock and a computer system are provided. The computer system includes a portable computer and the keyboard dock. The keyboard dock includes a base, a supporting plate, a first bracket, a sleeve and a second bracket. The base has a keyboard module. The supporting plate is used for supporting the portable computer. Ends of the first bracket are pivotally connected to the base and the supporting plate respectively. The sleeve is movably assembled to the first bracket. One end of the second bracket is pivotally connected to the sleeve, and another end of the second bracket is pivotally connected to the base or the supporting plate. The second bracket is shorter than the first bracket. The supporting plate covers the base in a first state. The supporting plate obliquely stands on the base in a second state, and the keyboard module is not covered by the supporting plate.
