Abstract
Portable computing apparatus includes a first component and a second component. The first component includes first connecting module having a first curved surface, which is convex. The second component includes second connecting module including a retaining portion and a groove portion having a second curved surface, which is concave. The retaining portion disposed adjacent to the groove portion can abut against the first curved surface. When the first connecting module is magnetically connected to the second connecting module, the first curved surface is slidably engaged to the second curved surface. When the first curved surface slides against the second curved surface, an angle between the first component and the second component continuously increase, the first component can rotate against the second component by pivoting around the retaining portion, so as to further separate the first curved surface from the second curved surface.
