1. An electronic device, comprising:
a first body, comprising a top portion and a peripheral portion;
a pivot mechanism, comprising a base and a pivot structure, the base comprising a first connecting member and a second connecting member, wherein extension directions of the first connecting member and the second connecting member are perpendicular to each other, the first connecting member and the second connecting member are fixedly connected on the top portion and an exterior surface of the peripheral portion of the first body, respectively, and the pivot structure is disposed on the first connecting member; and
a second body, fixedly connected to the pivot structure, so as to turn relative to the first body and hence be in an open position or a closed position;
wherein first portions of the first connecting member and the second connecting member are respectively connected, and a gap is formed between respective second portions of the first connecting member and the second connecting member, the gap corresponding to an intersection of the top portion and the peripheral portion of the first body; and
wherein a longest dimension of the second portion of the first connecting member and a longest dimension of the second portion of the second connecting member extend in a same direction.
