Abstract

Claims (22)

1 . An electronic apparatus comprising:

a chassis including a first chassis having a display and a second chassis having a keyboard;

a first magnetic attraction portion provided in the first chassis and configured to magnetically attract a pen-shaped device to a first attraction position of the first chassis; and

a second magnetic attraction portion provided in the second chassis and configured to magnetically attract the pen-shaped device to a second attraction position of the second chassis, the second magnetic attraction portion having a stronger magnetic attraction force than the first magnetic attraction portion,

wherein the first chassis and the second chassis are rotatably connected to each other, and

when the first chassis and the second chassis are rotated to a closed posture in which the first chassis is adjacent to the second chassis along a thickness direction of the first chassis and the second chassis, the first attraction position and the second attraction position are arranged adjacent to each other along the thickness direction.

2 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first chassis has a first back surface located on a side opposite to the display,

the second chassis has a second back surface located on a side opposite to the keyboard,

a posture of the chassis is switchable among an open posture, the closed posture, and a fully open posture in which the first back surface and the second back surface face each other.

3 . An electronic apparatus comprising:

a chassis including a first chassis having a first facing surface and a second chassis having a second facing surface;

a first magnetic attraction portion provided in the first chassis and configured to generate a magnetic force; and

a second magnetic attraction portion provided in the second chassis and configured to generate a magnetic force,

wherein a posture of the chassis is switchable between a closed posture in which the first facing surface and the second facing surface face each other and an open posture in which the first facing surface and the second facing surface do not face each other, the magnetic force generated by the second magnetic attraction portion is stronger than the magnetic force generated by the first magnetic attraction portion, and

in the closed posture, the first magnetic attraction portion and the second magnetic attraction portion are next to each other in a direction in which the first facing surface and the second facing surface face each other.

4 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the first chassis has a first back surface located on a side opposite to the first facing surface,

the second chassis has a second back surface located on a side opposite to the second facing surface,

the posture of the chassis is switchable among the open posture, the closed posture, and a fully open posture in which the first back surface and the second back surface face each other, and

in the fully open posture, the first magnetic attraction portion and the second magnetic attraction portion are next to each other in a direction in which the first back surface and the second back surface face each other.

5 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the first chassis is a display chassis having a display.
