According to a method for manufacturing a portable computer, base units and display panels are composed so that electronic devices may be equipped to be identically used and option units whose structures are different are composed. Then, each of the option units is coupled to the base units and the display panels, thereby manufacturing portable computers whose modes are different. This portable computer comprises base units, display panels, and option units. The base units and the display panels are identically used. The option units whose structures are different are coupled to the base units and the display panels, respectively. That is, base units of a portable computer are base housings which are arranged at an identical position and upon which an I/O port, a hard disk drive, a PCMCIA slot, a battery, a DC/DC board, and a memory are mounted. The option units are top housings upon which a keyboard assembly and a pointing device are mounted. Thus, it is possible to manufacture swappable portable computers and non-swappable portable computers by only exchanging an option unit (i.e., top housing).
