Another could be as an input device stuck on top of a computer.

An input component can be positioned at the external surface. A processing unit and a memory can be communicatively coupled and disposed within the internal volume.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" data-pos=\"top\" data-raptor=\"condor\" data-xsm=\",fluid,mpu,\" data-sm=\",fluid,mpu,\" data-md=\",fluid,mpu,\">\n        <noscript><br \/>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_onprem\/personaltech&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=2&amp;c=2YhyLWGd@I8uG7Zijb9Xo4QAAAJQ&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D2%26raptor%3Dcondor%26pos%3Dtop%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_onprem\/personaltech&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=2&amp;c=2YhyLWGd@I8uG7Zijb9Xo4QAAAJQ&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D2%26raptor%3Dcondor%26pos%3Dtop%26test%3D0\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n        <\/noscript>\n    <\/div>\n<p>So is it an input device with a computer in it, or a computing device with a keyboard &#8220;positioned at the external surface&#8221;?

It doesn&#8217;t really seem like a thing you ought to be able to patent at this point \u2013 especially as it was revived in 2020 as the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2020\/11\/02\/pi-400\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Raspberry Pi 400<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But Apple&#8217;s not only revisiting its <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.computerhistory.org\/revolution\/personal-computers\/17\/300\">halcyon youth<\/a>. As it points out, &#8220;Large or bulky computing components have traditionally been needed within computing devices to achieve a desired level of performance,&#8221; and therefore &#8220;Housings for such computing devices were thus constrained to designs including relatively large or uninterrupted internal volumes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"CaptionedImage Border width_85\"><a href=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2022\/02\/28\/apple_ii_plus.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2022\/02\/28\/apple_ii_plus.jpg?x=648&amp;y=648&amp;infer_y=1\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Apple II Plus\" title=\"Apple II Plus\" height=\"648\" width=\"648\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"text_center\">A device with a relatively large internal volume.

It also includes a single port, configured for both power and data (it mentions USB-C, Thunderbolt 3 and Lightning as possible connectors).<\/p>\n<p>And, here&#8217;s the fun part: it might even be foldable. Like, really foldable. Behold: &#8220;For example, the computing device can be foldable about two axes \u2026 such that the computing device is divided into three parts (i.e., the two axes can allow a user to fold the computing device like a paper can be folded into three equal parts before being inserted into an envelope).&#8221;<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" data-pos=\"top\" data-raptor=\"falcon\" data-xmd=\",fluid,mpu,leaderboard,\" data-lg=\",fluid,mpu,leaderboard,\" data-xlg=\",fluid,billboard,superleaderboard,mpu,leaderboard,\" data-xxlg=\",fluid,billboard,superleaderboard,brandwidth,brandimpact,leaderboard,mpu,\">\n            <noscript><br \/>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_onprem\/personaltech&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44YhyLWGd@I8uG7Zijb9Xo4QAAAJQ&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D4%26raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_onprem\/personaltech&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44YhyLWGd@I8uG7Zijb9Xo4QAAAJQ&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D426raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n            <\/noscript>\n        <\/div>\n<p>Essentially the idea is that you use your computer plugged into a display at work, then fold it up and put it in your bag to take home.
