A portable computer system is provided, which makes it possible to increase the area for an auxiliary device such as a visual indicator and a speaker and to adjust the location and attitude of the auxiliary device with respect to a computer body. This computer system is comprised of a computer body having a first pivot axis, and a display subsystem pivotable connected to the body around the first pivot axis. The display subsystem includes first and second units, one of which is provided with an auxiliary device and the other of which is provided with a display device. The second unit is pivotably connected to the body around the first pivot axis and capable of being held at a desired first pivot angle with respect to the body. The first unit is pivotably connected to the second unit around a second pivot axis and capable of being held at a desired second pivot angle with respect to the second unit. The first pivot axis is located at or near a rear end of the computer body or at a position shifted forward therefrom, and extends along the same rear end. The second pivot axis may be parallel or perpendicular to the first pivot axis.
