Abstract
A portable computer unit contained within a substantially planar housing a minimal thickness designed for transport in a ring-type notebook binder. Specifically, the housing includes an upper section having a plurality of openings which are sized to receive the binder rings. Once the binder rings are inserted within the openings of the housing, the entire computer unit may be easily transported within the binder. Transport in this manner also obscures the computer from view, diminishing the possibility of theft.
