DOCK APPARATUS FOR PORTABLE COMPUTER

摘要

A key mechanism is provided for locking an internal electronic apparatus in the condition under which the apparatus is prevented from being detached from a base body of a desktop base for a portable computer, so that the internal electronic apparatus such as a storage device cannot be freely taken away from the desktop base even if the desktop base is left alone without being docked with the portable computer. Further, a key mechanism is provided for locking a desktop base for a portable computer in the condition under which power supply for the desktop base for a portable computer is not turned on even if the power switch for the desktop base for a portable computer is turned on, so that data in an internal storage device cannot be stolen or destroyed since power is not supplied to the storage device even if access to the storage device is attempted by freely docking another portable computer to the desktop base.
