Abstract
A portable computer using a stylus for power control comprises a main body of the computer contained in a housing and provided with a stylus-holding means, a stylus for inputting data, and a means for detecting the combination and separation of the stylus and for controlling power supply to a system unit. The detecting and controlling means consists of a signal-generating unit and a power control unit. The signal-generating unit is positioned in the main body so as to detect the combination and separation of the stylus and generate a signal. The power control unit controls power supply to the system unit in response to the signal.
