Abstract: A portable electronic apparatus includes a first body having a pivoting side and a heat dissipating hole located at the pivoting side, a second body, and a hinge mechanism. The second body is rotatably and slidably connected to the first body through the hinge mechanism including a rack fixed in the first body as corresponding to the pivoting side, a rotating shaft connected to the second body, and a driving component connected to the rotating shaft and mechanically coupled to the rack. When the second body rotates and unfolds with respect to the first body, the rotating shaft rotates together with the second body, the driving component rotates with the rotating shaft, and the driving component rotates and slides with respect to the rack and drives the second body to slide away from the pivoting side to increase a distance between the second body and the heat dissipating hole.
