Abstract
An electronic apparatus has a first housing, a second housing, a hinge mechanism and an interlocking mechanism. The hinge mechanism couples the first and second housings so that the housings are relatively rotated about first and second axes intersected with each other. An interlocking mechanism decreases a rotational resistance between the first and second housings about one of the two axes, while the first and second housing are relatively situated to each other at a position of the rotation about the other axis.
