Background of the Invention  
       [0001]     1. Field of the Invention  
         [0002]     The present invention relates to a notebook computer, and more particularly, to a notebook computer with an integrated cosmetic set.  
         [0003]     2. Description of the Prior Art  
         [0004]     Please refer to  FIG. 1 .  FIG. 1  is a perspective view of a prior art notebook computer  1   0 . Notebook computers are widely used by business travelers and sales representatives because these groups of people often have to travel to different places to attend meetings and make business deals. Further a lot of business travelers are female. They often carry a cosmetic set with them when traveling because some people believe that women wearing make-up tend to enhance their confidence and improve their appearance. Further, one day&#39;s work may require a lady to fix her make-up a few times. Therefore some women will carry a cosmetic set with them wherever they go. The cosmetic set may include a lipstick, foundation, eye shadow, mascara, eyeliner, face powder, etc. Because of all these items, a woman may have to prepare an additional cosmetic pack.  
         [0005]     However, a business traveler often has to carry a lot of information with them. It will become a great burden for a female business traveler to carry an extra cosmetic pack. Moreover before a lady meets her client, she is likely to check her appearance again including checking on her make-up. At this time, if she is not completely satisfied with her make-up, she will have to search her cosmetic pack again to fix her appearance. Therefore the cosmetic pack becomes inseparable from the lady.  
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
       [0006]     According to the present invention, a notebook computer is composed of an operation portion and a display portion. The notebook computer comprises a first slot formed at one side of the operation portion, a cosmetic set capable of being pushed into the first slot and pulled out from the first slot, a second slot formed at one side of the display portion, and a mirror capable of being pushed into the second slot and pulled out from the second slot by rotating with respect to a pivot.  
         [0007]     According to the present invention, another notebook computer is composed of an operation portion and a display portion, characterized in that a storage portion is formed next to an operation surface of the operation portion for accommodating a cosmetic set.  
         [0008]     These and other objectives of the present invention will no doubt become obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art after reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment that is illustrated in the various figures and drawings.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION  
       [0013]     Please refer to  FIG. 2 .  FIG. 2  is a perspective view of a notebook computer  20  according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The notebook computer  20  is composed of an operation portion  201  and a display portion  202 . The operation portion  201  is provided with at least a key operation portion  2011  and a cursor operation portion  2012 . A first slot  2013  is formed at one side of the operation portion  201  for disposing a cosmetic set  203 . In this embodiment, the cosmetic set  203  includes a plurality of cosmetic items such as a lipstick, foundation, eye shadow, mascara, eyeliner, face powder, etc. Further the cosmetic set  203  can be pulled out from the first slot  2013  when a user needs to use a cosmetic item and can be pushed into the first slot  2013  after the user finishes using the cosmetic item. The cosmetic set  203  has a side with an elongated slot  2032 . The first slot  2013  has a corresponding protruding edge  20131  for engaging with the elongated slot  2032  to avoid vibrations of the cosmetic set  203 . The cosmetic set  203  has a front side with a protruded knob  2031 . The knob  2031  allows a user to push the cosmetic set  203  into the first slot  2013  after using the cosmetic set  203 . Further an elastic hook and an elastic element are installed inside the first slot  2013 . After the cosmetic set  203  is pushed into the first slot  2013 , the elastic hook hooks the cosmetic set  203 , and then the cosmetic Page  3  of  14  set  203  is positioned against the elastic element. When the user pushes the knob  2031 , the elastic hook will unhook the cosmetic set  203 , and the elastic element will push the cosmetic set  203  away from the first slot  2013 .  
         [0014]     Please refer to  FIG. 2  again, a second slot  2021  is formed at one side of the display portion  202 . The second slot  2021  is used to accommodate a fan-shaped mirror  204  which can be pushed into the second slot  2021  and pulled out from the second slot  2021  by rotating with respect to a pivot  205 . Therefore, when a user fixes her make-up, the user does not need to use another mirror. Further, the mirror  204  has an end with a knob  2041  for the user to move in or move out the mirror  204 . Moreover, an elastic hook is installed inside the second slot  2021  for hooking the mirror  204  after the mirror  204  is pushed into the second slot  2021 , and an elastic element is also installed inside the second slot  2021  for pushing against the mirror  204  after the mirror  204  is pushed into the second slot  2021  and pushing the mirror  204  away from the second slot  2021  after the mirror  204  is unhooked from the elastic hook.  
         [0015]     Please refer to  FIG. 3 .  FIG. 3  is a perspective view of a notebook computer  22  according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between the notebook computer  20  and the notebook computer  22  is in the design of the mirror. The mirror  206  of the notebook computer  22  is rectangular-shaped. An edge of the mirror  206  has a knob  2061  for horizontally pulling the mirror  206  out of the second slot  2021  or pushing the mirror  206  into the second slot  2021 . Moreover, an elastic hook is installed inside the second slot  2021  for hooking the mirror  206  after the mirror  206  is pushed into the second slot  2021 , and an elastic element is also installed inside the second slot  2021  for pushing against the mirror  206  after the mirror  206  is pushed into the second slot  2021  and pushing the mirror  206  away from the second slot  2021  after the mirror  206  is unhooked from the elastic hook.  
         [0016]     Please refer to  FIG. 4 .  FIG. 4  is a perspective view of a notebook computer  24  according to the third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in  FIG. 4 , a cosmetic set  207  is detachable from the notebook computer  24 . Thus, when not using the cosmetic set  207 , the cosmetic set  207  can be stored in a storage portion  2014  of the notebook computer  24 . When using the cosmetic set  207 , a user can choose to remove the cosmetic set  207  from the notebook computer  24 . As shown in  FIG. 4 , the storage portion  2014  faces upward, and is formed on a surface of the operation portion  201  of the notebook computer  24 . However, the storage portion  2014  is not constrained to that design. The storage portion  2014  can be formed at other parts of the notebook computer  204  such as at a side of the operation portion  201 . Further the cosmetic set  207  can comprise more than one cosmetic item  2072 , and a mirror  2071 . Thus the design of the cosmetic set  207  can be varied according to a user&#39;s demand.  
         [0017]     The present invention inherently carries out at least following advantages:  
         [0018]     (1) The notebook computer is integrated with the cosmetic set, thus the user does not need to spare extra space to accommodate the cosmetic set;  
         [0019]     (2) The notebook computer is integrated with the cosmetic set, thus the cosmetic set becomes easily portable.  
         [0020]     (3) The notebook computer is integrated with the mirror, making wearing make-up convenient and feasible.  
         [0021]     In conclusion, a cosmetic set is integrated into a notebook computer in the present invention. Therefore, the user can carry the cosmetic set with great ease.  
         [0022]     Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.
