Abstract:
A portable computer system including a main body having a network controller controlling a network connection, a first Hard Disk Drive (HDD), and a first disk switching part for disconnecting the first HDD from the system. A docking unit is detachably attached to the main body, and a network switching part is installed in the docking unit. The network switching part allows the network controller to selectively access either an inner network or an outer network. A switching controller is installed in a side of either the main body or the docking unit, and controls the network switching part to access either the inner network or the outer network, and controls the first disk switching part to disconnect the first HDD from the system if the network controller accesses the outer network.
