Abstract
A portable computer of compact construction includes a base unit including a lower housing unit containing a PC board and an upper housing provided with an upwardly projecting hollow ridge extending across the rear upper edge of the upper housing. A panel, including an array of expansion connectors exposed through a rear opening in the lower housing unit and wired to the PC board, provides support for a holder of components, such as a speaker, LED indicators, etc., accommodated in the hollow ridge. Gaps in the hollow ridge are adapted for hinge-mounting an LCD, with LCD cabling passing through a channel in the hollow ridge en route to the PCB board.
