Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the docking device for portable computer enhanced in the radiation of heat under the docking condition of the portable computer and the docking device. SOLUTION: The docking device 10 is equipped with a fan unit 36 at the rear part of the power supply unit 34 in the device main body, and an air inlet 54 is provided in front of a connection part 22 with which a note-sized PC 12 is docked. In this constitution, the air heated up to high temperature is exhausted from the device main body 20 and connection part 22 by the driven of the fan unit 36 and an external air is taken in from the air inlet 54 to prompt the cooling of the connection part 22 and further, the cooling of the note-sized PC 12 is prompted since the heat conducted from the rear end part of the PC 12 to the connection part 27 is radiated.
