Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic apparatus includes: a first chassis member that has a first wall portion; a second chassis member that has a second wall portion and is adjacent to the first chassis member; a hinge device that connects the first chassis member and the second chassis member to be relatively rotatable between a first posture, in which the first chassis member and the second chassis member are laminated so as to overlap each other in a surface normal direction, to dispose the first wall portion and the second wall portion at positions facing each other, and a second posture in which the first chassis member and the second chassis member are arranged side by side in a direction perpendicular to the surface normal direction; and a magnet that has a side surface and a bottom surface and is attached to the first wall portion.
