A notebook computer includes a base; a top cover pivotally coupled via a first rotary shaft to the base and including a display panel disposed at an inner side thereof; a first plate member provided on an outer side of the top cover, a third plate member pivotally coupled at an end to the base via a second rotary shaft; and a second plate member pivotally coupled at an end to the first plate member and slidably coupled at an opposing end to the third plate member, such that the second and the third plate member are displaceable relative to each other. When the top cover is pivotally turned to an operation position, the second end of the second plate member is pushed against the third plate member to restrict the top cover and the third plate member from turning further, and hold the top cover to the operation position.

1. A notebook computer, comprising: a base;a top cover having a display panel disposed on an inner side thereof, and movably connecting to the base via a first rotary shaft to pivotally turn about the first rotary shaft relative to the base between a closed position and an operation position;a first plate member being provided on an outer side of the top cover;a second plate member being pivotally turnably coupled at a first end to the first plate member; anda third plate member being pivotally turnably coupled at a proximal end to the base via a second rotary shaft, the second plate member being slidably coupled at an opposing second end to the third plate member, such that the second plate member and the third plate member are displaceable relative to each other; and there being a height difference between the first rotary shaft and the second rotary shaft;wherein while the top cover is at the operation position, the second end of the second plate member is pushed against the third plate member to prevent the top cover and the third plate member from turning further, and the second plate member and the third plate member cooperatively support the top cover to the operation position. 2. The notebook computer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first plate member and the top cover together define a accommodating space therebetween, and the second plate member being received in the accommodating space when the top cover is in the closed position. 3. The notebook computer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the third plate member is provided with two guide rails on an inner face, and the second plate member includes a guide bar; the guide bar is coupled at one side to the second end of the second plate member, and two ends of the guide bar are respectively insertably disposed into the two guide rails on the third plate member, such that the guide bar is slidable along the two guide rails, allowing the second plate member to slide relative to the third plate member. 4. The notebook computer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first plate member includes a clamping element arranged for clamping onto an end of the top cover close to the first rotary shaft. 5. The notebook computer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second plate member includes a torsional spring disposed at a pivot joint of the second and the first plate member; and a value of torsional force stored in the torsional spring is variable with a position of the second plate member relative to the first plate member. 6. The notebook computer as claimed in claim 5, wherein the torsional spring has a maximum value of torsional force when the top cover is held in the closed position, and is therefore helpful in turning the top cover to the operation position. 7. The notebook computer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the third plate member is provided with a buffer pad on an outer face; and the buffer pad being pressed against a working surface when the top cover is turned to the operation position. 8. The notebook computer as claimed in claim 7, wherein the buffer pad is made of a rubber material. 9. The notebook computer as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a fourth plate member being provided on one side of the base close to the first rotary shaft and including a shaft hole; and the second rotary shaft being received in the shaft hole to thereby pivotally turnably connect the third plate member to the fourth plate member. 10. The notebook computer as claimed in claim 9, wherein the fourth plate member is integrally formed with the base. 11. The notebook computer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first plate member is integrally formed with the top cover. 12. The notebook computer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the display panel is a touch panel.
