    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a personal computer.
    STATE OF THE ART
    A personal computer (PC) is an automated, programmable device that is able to perform logical operations and process data and which is suitable for the creation and / or use of multimedia content in a work by a user - or game environment to be used.
    A personal computer actually comprises a number of physical electronic components (commonly referred to as internal components or hardware components) enclosed in a protective housing, a so-called "case", and suitably connected to one another. These components are suitable for this purpose To receive, store and process data entered by the user via suitable input devices (or "input peripheral devices") such as a keyboard or mouse, and the results obtained from the processing via output devices (or "output peripheral devices" ) such as a screen, printer or video projector.
    In very simple terms, the operation of a personal computer is made possible by the use of a few primary components, essentially formed by a power supply unit that is connected directly to the socket via a power cord and is capable of feeding the alternating current (AC) from the mains To convert direct current (DC) and in this way to supply all other components with the correct supply voltages, from a main board that is built directly into the housing and suitable to carry a large part of the internal components and to connect them to one another, from a central processing unit or " Processor ”for processing the received data, from a storage unit with a RAM memory and from a hard disk.
    The structure of a personal computer is completed by further components required for correct operation, such as a suitable cooling system with fan or cooling liquid, which is able to prevent overheating of the various components and to prevent them from being damaged and worn protect, by a graphics card and a sound card, which enable correct use of the input / output devices; the latter two components can be built directly into the motherboard or otherwise separated from it in order to allow faster replacement.
    As far as the sizes are concerned, two main types of personal computers are currently known, each defined by corresponding technical characteristics and suitable for certain applications or conditions of use.
    Known are personal computers of the desktop type, which are usually referred to as "permanently installed computers" and are intended to be used over a long period of time in the same place and can be supplied via the network, and personal computers from portable Type, which are usually referred to as a laptop or notebook and are especially intended to be transported by a user by hand, accordingly have an appropriate size and weight and are suitable for use even without a mains connection.
    The two typologies each have advantages and disadvantages. On average, desktop computers are characterized by higher performance than laptop computers, due to greater hardware resources (higher RAM storage capacity, larger hard drive capacity, etc.) and the ability to add, replace or increase internal components. It is thus possible to obtain permanently installed computers of the "assembled" type, in which various components are selected according to personal needs, individually purchased and assembled. The same applies to all input and output devices.
    > Austrian. AT 17 109 U1 2021-06-15
    genes that are separate and separate from the computer case, to which they are connected with appropriate cables or wireless connection systems, in order to give the user maximum freedom in choosing the type most suitable for him and to offer the possibility of removing it if he wishes to exchange them.
    At the same time, the not inconsiderable dimensions complicate the transport, which is why a personal computer of the "desktop type" is normally intended to be used at a single workstation and to be supplied exclusively via the mains.
    It may be possible to connect such a device to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that is able to cover the power supply for a limited period of time, in the range of a few minutes, in the event of an unintentional interruption of the power supply of the network and thereby enable the user to switch off his PC properly.
    In contrast, a portable computer is characterized by a smaller size and weight and by the inclusion of some peripheral devices - such as keyboard and screen - in a one-piece, foldable element.
    Its relatively high cost is due to its electronic components, which are similar to those of a desktop computer, but miniaturized and optimized for lower energy consumption.
    Inside there is also a battery that allows the use of the portable computer even in situations where it cannot be connected to the mains; Such a battery is sized to ensure that the computer can be used for a few hours.
    The most important advantage of a portable computer over a permanently installed computer lies in the convenient portability thanks to its small dimensions and in the usability even without a mains supply thanks to the built-in battery. On the other hand, the miniaturized components compared to desktop computers reduce its performance and are more susceptible to signs of wear and tear and damage.
    In addition, a disadvantage of portable computers compared to desktop computers is the limited ability to exchange hardware components to increase performance (such as the graphics card) and the difficulty of obtaining model-specific spare parts in the event of malfunctions. These restrictions often make it inevitable to buy a new device, forcing the consumer to pay higher costs.
    It would therefore be desirable, and in fact it is also the main object of the present invention, to present a personal computer which combines the advantages of both the one and the other type in order to essentially provide a device with the performance and modularity of a desktop computer obtained, but at the same time can be easily transported by a user and, moreover, used without being dependent on the mains power supply.
    Within the scope of the above-mentioned object, it is an aim of the present invention to realize a personal computer that is portable, i. E. H. its size and weight is as low as possible, but at the same time it is extremely functional in use.
    Another object of the present invention is to realize a personal computer whose internal components are easily exchangeable and which offers the possibility of personalization of the device according to the needs of the user and a simple and inexpensive exchange of possibly damaged or worn components.
    Finally, it is the purpose of the invention to develop a personal computer which is able to achieve the aforementioned objects and purposes through the use of standardized components in an inexpensive manner.
    The task and the aforementioned, as well as others, to be explained below

    Objects are achieved by a personal computer as defined in claim 1.
