Abstract
An information processing apparatus including a body, a display moveably connected to the body, a CD-ROM device built into the body with its receptacle facing up for accommodating a medium disk, and a keyboard arrangement. The keyboard arrangement is coupled to the body so that the keyboard arrangement can be moved between two positions including a first position where the keyboard arrangement is used for processing information and a second position where the keyboard arrangement allows an operator to load or unload the medium disk directly into the CD-ROM device. The information processing apparatus eliminates the need of using a tray or caddy mechanism.
