Said digital computer comprises an in-built current source and an electric interface which is installed in a fixed manner and which is connected to the current source, the electric interface being arranged such that the battery can be charged. The invention also relates to an input device for a portable digital computer comprising a radio mouse and an additional slide pad which is arranged on the top side of said radio mouse. The invention further relates to a special coupling bay comprising a recess which is arranged on three sides of a foldable functional part of a notebook. Said coupling bay is used for mechanically coupling a cursor control device which is disposed below a notebook keyboard and in order to reconfigure the cursor control device in a rear-sided operation in order to use a notebook in a book-type and handheld form, whereby a flat mouse with annular-shaped finger supports is provided in order to improve the handling and operation thereof, in addition to a cursor control device which is provided with an identification and locking function.
