A notebook computer-telephone includes a body that is comprised of at least two hinged parts, a microphone, a speaker, and a ported speaker cover that is rotatably attached to the body. The cover has at least two useful positions. The first position direct sound from the speaker out of the body when the hinge is closed. In this position the speaker is useful in conjunction with the microphone for telephone use. The second position is useful when the hinge is open, directing sound from the speaker out of the body within the area exposed by the opened hinge. Multiple resting positions created by the hinged structure are useful, especially for speakerphone use. A position of the cover that protects the speaker when the hinge is closed is provided. All three positions are achieved without an impact on the size of the device. A second microphone as well as a camera may be provided for flexibility and videophone use. The speaker and the camera may be mounted in conjunction with the cover.
