1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a first chassis equipped with a first electronic component;
a second chassis adjacent to the first chassis and equipped with a second electronic component;
a hinge device that relatively rotatably connects the first chassis and the second chassis between
a first posture in which the first chassis and the second chassis are stacked so as to overlap each other in a surface normal direction and
a second posture in which the first chassis and the second chassis are aligned in a direction perpendicular to the surface normal direction; and
a flexible board provided over the first chassis and the second chassis and connecting the first electronic component and the second electronic component, wherein
the flexible board has a first folded portion and a second folded portion that are disposed in order and curved in opposite directions to each other in the first chassis,
the first folded portion and the second folded portion each cause the flexible board to overlap itself in a thickness direction of the first chassis to form in an S-shape, and
at a location between the first folded portion and the second folded portion, there are three layers of the flexible board in the thickness direction of the first chassis.
