A portable computer with a base, a pivotal visual display and a keyboard releasably attached to the base so it can be used as a stand alone component. The base has a tapered forwardly projecting wide tongue that guides the keyboard horizontally and vertically as the keyboard moves toward the base and when the keyboard reaches its fully seated position a pair of latch assemblies automatically engage. The rear of the keyboard has a transverse recess into which a precoiled section of keyboard cable is stored in the keyboard attached position.
