A two-part docking mechanism that enables a tablet to dock onto a 'Laptop-Ba se Computer' and form a regular notebook. One part, a docking-cover, supports the tablet when the tablet pivots, assists the tablet to move 'in and out' of docking position and folds down t o cover the keyboard when the tablet is not docked. The second part, an ejector plate, secures th e tablet in the tablet's docked configuration and pushes out the tablet when the tablet is moved out of docking position. The docking mechanism design accommodates current laptop models and only requires modification to the lid of the laptop - the laptop inner components and all peripherals require no modification. If so desired, an optional tablet lock secures the tablet permanently to the docking- cover. The design also facilitates the conversion of most existing laptop designs into 'Notebook- Tablet' computers.
