  • Publication number: 20100276316
    Abstract: A bag of a notebook computer for containing the notebook computer is provided. The bag includes an upper cover, a lower cover, and a carrying handle. The lower cover is pivotally connected with the upper cover. The upper cover is capable of being closed to the lower cover to form a containing space for containing the notebook computer, and it is capable of being opened from the lower cover to expose the notebook computer. The carrying handle is connected with the upper cover and the lower cover, respectively, and it is disposed across a connecting place of the upper cover and the lower cover. When the lower cover is disposed at a supporting surface and the upper cover is opened, the carrying handle lifts the lower cover so that an angle is formed between the lower cover and the supporting surface.
