a first housing comprising a first side surface, a second side surface positioned on an opposite side of the first side surface, a first plate disposed between the first side surface and the second side surface, and a first display;
a second housing comprising a third side surface capable of facing at least a part of the second side surface, a fourth side surface positioned on an opposite side of the third side surface, a second plate disposed between the third side surface and the fourth side surface, and a second display, the second housing having a recess disposed on a rear surface of the second plate; and
a third housing comprising a keyboard having multiple movable keycaps, the third housing being coupled so as to rotate with at least a part of the fourth side surface or to slide through at least a part of the fourth side surface such that the third housing is configured to be received in the recess,
wherein rotating the third housing 180 degrees from the recess or sliding the third housing from the recess through the at least part of the fourth side surface causes the multiple movable keycaps of the keyboard to face in a same direction as the second display,
wherein the second housing comprises a first magnet, and the third housing comprises a second magnet corresponding to the first magnet,
wherein when the third housing is placed on a front surface of the second housing while being separated from the second housing, a position of the third housing is fixed on the second housing by an interaction between the first magnet and the second magnet, and
