Abstract: A portable computer is provided that has a monitor pivotally mounted onto a main body. The base of the main body have holes that can receive a fastener. On the sides of the main body are receptacles that are positioned near a corresponding hole in the base of the main body of the computer.An L-shaped member forms a connector that allows a strap to be attached to the portable computer to allow the computer to be more easily transported. The L shaped member has a bore on one leg and a boss on the other leg. To attach the connector the boss is inserted into a receptacle in the side of the main body and the bore of the connector is aligned over a hole in the base of the main body. Then, a fastener is inserted through the bore and into the hole in the base of the main body.On a portion of the connector is a bail shaped member that forms a chute between the member and the connector. A strap can be attached to the bail shaped member to simplify the transporting of the portable computer.
