1. A foldable electronic apparatus with an adjusting bracket, comprising: a first body, having at least one rail and a plurality of steps disposed along the at least one rail; a second body, pivotally connected to the first body to pivot and be unfolded and folded relative to the first body; a first supporting member, having a first end and a second end opposite to each other, wherein the first end is pivotally connected to the first body; and a second supporting member, having a third end and a fourth end opposite to each other, wherein the second end is pivotally connected to the second supporting member and is located between the third end and the fourth end, and the third end is movably coupled to the at least one rail, wherein the first supporting member, the second supporting member, and the first body form a linkage mechanism such that the first supporting member and the second supporting member pivot and are unfolded and folded relative to the first body, wherein the steps limit the third end to generate a unique moving path on the at least one rail, wherein the at least one rail is a closed loop, the unique moving path is a one-way loop path, and a descending trend of the steps is consistent with the one-way loop path.
