A sports-inspired computer is presented which has a neat, uncluttered appearance when deactivated. In an embodiment, the computer resembles an authentic sports ball memorabilia display when deactivated. The computer includes a motorized flat panel display screen that is hidden from view when the computer is not in use. The screen incorporates a camera for capturing still and moving images, and for videoconferencing. When the computer is powered on, the screen automatically extends from the computer enclosure and assumes an upright posture for viewing. After use, the screen automatically folds back into the enclosure. The present disclosure also provides for voice activation of the computer, whereby spoken commands can cause the computer to power up and shut down. The computer also features a wireless keyboard with an integrated pointing device, which is stored in a storage compartment provided within the computer enclosure.
