A portable platform comprises a flat panel display and at least one docking bay disposed on a rear side of the flat panel display including means for securing and electrically connecting an external module to the docking bay. A system for connecting an external module having a module connector to a portable electronic platform having a flat panel display, a central processing unit and a system bus comprises at least one docking bay disposed on a rear side of the flat panel display including at least two rails and an electrical connector. The external module is slid in between the two rails to be secured to the rear side of the flat panel display, and the module connector is connected to the electrical connector of the docking bay to electrically connect the module to the central processing unit via the system bus. A module to be externally connected to a portable platform including a flat panel display and at least one docking bay disposed on a rear side of the flat panel display, the docking bay including two outer rails and an electrical connector comprises at least two inner rails, and a module connector. The module is secured to the docking bay by sliding the two inner rails of the module between the two outer rails of the docking bay, and the module connector is connected to the electrical connector of the docking bay to electrically connect the module to the central processing unit via the system bus. |
