A personal computing device comprises a chassis having a top and a bottom and a keyboard movably secured to the chassis. The keyboard includes a pair of laterally spaced arms with each arm having a connector that projects therefrom and confined within an elongated slot formed on the side of the chassis. This enables the keyboard to move between three different positions: (1) a closed position where the keyboard lies adjacent the top of the chassis, (2) an open position where the keyboard extends outwardly from the chassis, and (3) a stowed position where the keyboard lies adjacent the bottom of the chassis. Both the chassis and keyboard include IR ports that enable the keyboard to communicate with the chassis, thereby eliminating a wire connection between the chassis and keyboard.
