Abstract
An information processing apparatus in which arbitrary removal of a device for processing information accommodated within an opening within the main body can be prevented, regardless of operation of an eject button or the like, and to provide an information processing apparatus in which such prevention can be realized in a simple structure and at a low cost. A removal preventing latch is provided and inserted into an aperture within the main body of the information processing apparatus and through a corresponding aperture within the device for processing information. A cover for the main body may then be selectively locked in a closed position, preventing removal of the removal preventing latch while the cover is closed. A keyboard is preferably mounted to the cover for the main body.
