1. An electronic device, comprising:
a first housing comprising a parting surface and a placement surface;
a second housing comprising:
a first end;
a second end;
a first housing part, wherein the first housing part is configured to be folded or unfolded relative to the first housing; and
a support part is movably mounted in the first housing part and configured to rotate relative to the first housing;
a hinge apparatus comprising two opposite ends respectively connected to the first housing and the first housing part, wherein one end that is of the support part and that is close to the hinge apparatus gradually approaches the first housing part when the first housing part is folded relative to the first housing; and
