Portable computer device with upgrade setting system {UPGRADING APPARATUS FOR PORTABLE COMPUTER}

The present invention relates to a portable computer device having an upgrade setting system, and in particular, a portable computer device having an upgrade setting system that enables a user to perform an upgrade operation on his own by combining technologies such as electronics, power, structure, heat dissipation, and software. Is about devising.

In the case of a conventional portable computer device, for example, a laptop computer device, a desk notebook, or a mobile personal computer device (Mobile Personal Computer, Mobile PC), all of the internally arranged graphics cards are installed on the motherboard. That is, the graphics card is arranged in such a manner as to be electrically connected to the motherboard, and the motherboard is disposed inside the computer body (casing). However, in the case of a general portable computer device, it is difficult for a user to remove the casing of the computer device, and to change or repair the motherboard in a timely manner. As a result, if a user needs to upgrade the graphics capabilities of a portable computer device or desk note or mobile PC, they must purchase a new, more powerful portable computer device or desk note or mobile PC, or an agent. You should take it to the original manufacturer and replace the motherboard with stronger graphics capabilities. For this reason, the conventional portable computer device does not have a mechanism by which a general user can easily manually upgrade. In addition, with the development of the computer industry, these portable computer devices are becoming more and more powerful, and the graphics function is getting stronger. As soon as the user purchases a portable computer device, a new product is introduced again and it must be upgraded immediately. The situation is encountered, which not only leads to unnecessary losses, but also lowers the consumer's desire to purchase such computer products.

In view of all the above problems, the inventor of the present invention assumes that the upgrade cost can be reduced in response to the shortcomings of the conventional portable computer device, and as a result of many years of experience and actual production experience, A portable computer device having an upgrade setting system of the present invention has been submitted.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a portable computer device having an upgrade setting system, which mainly uses an upgraded graphics card, and can easily upgrade a portable computer device, a desk note, or a mobile PC to a general user. It aims to provide a structure, make it easy to upgrade, and reduce the cost of upgrading.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a computer, at least a display panel coupled to the computer body, and a keyboard located on an upper surface of the computer body, when the portable computer device is a notebook type computer device, a desktop, or a mobile PC. And a storage tank having a structure such as a motherboard located inside the computer main body, and further including a rear space of the keyboard or a front space of the keyboard (that is, both sides of the touch panel) or a bottom of the computer main body. An external Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) or External Component Interconnect (PCI) or Digital Video Data (RGB) port installed on the base and corresponding reservoir base, and the external Upgradeable graphics installed on attached AGP or PCI or RGB Has a DE, but also provide a portable computer device with a upgrade setting system in which the outside-in PCI or AGP or RGB so as to be electrically connected to the motherboard.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In order to elucidate the effect of the present invention and the technical means employed by the present invention, an embodiment suitable for the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is not obvious to limit the scope of the claims of the present invention.
