Abstract: THE INVENTION RELATES TO A PORTABLE PERSONAL COMPUTER REQUIRING A MINIMUM SPACE ON A DESK, WHEN THE PERSONAL COMPUTER IS OPERATED BY AN OPERATOR. THE PERSONAL COMPUTER HAS FRONT, BACK SIDE, LEFT SIDE, RIGHT SIDE, TOP AND BOTTOM SURFACES. A DEPTH OR DISTANCE BETWEEN THE FRONT SURFACE AND THE BACK SIDE SURFACE IS SMALLER THAN A HORIZONTAL WIDTH AND A VERTICAL HEIGHT OF THE FRONT AND BACK SIDE SURFACES, SO THAT AN AREA OF THE BOTTOM SURFACE IS SMALLER THAN AN AREA OF EACH OF THE FRONT SURFACE AND THE BACK SIDE SURFACE. THE BOTTOM SURFACE IS PLACED ON A DESK IN THE USE OF THE PERSONAL COMPUTER. A FLAT TYPE DISPLAY DEVICE, A FLOPPY DISK DRIVE UNIT AND A KEYBOARD ARE RETRACTABLY MOUNTED IN THE PERSONAL COMPUTER.
