[0035] Notebook computers have become a very common product in people's daily study and life. The built-in touchpad on notebook computers is a major highlight in simplifying computer accessories. Due to factors such as the user group, usage experience, and cost, users' demands for using the touchpad are also different. However, the structural designs of various types of touchpads are different, and the structural designs of the corresponding positions on the computer case are also different. Different computer cases are required to match the corresponding touchpads, making it difficult to meet the user's demand for flexible upgrade and replacement of the touchpad.

[0036] To solve the above problems, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , the present utility model proposes a notebook computer housing structure 1000, which includes a housing 1, an inner lining 2, and a bracket assembly 3; the inner lining 2 is connected to one side of the housing 1, and the inner lining 2 is formed with an avoidance hole; the bracket assembly 3 includes a fixing frame 31, and the fixing frame 31 is connected to the side of the housing 1 facing the inner lining 2 and is disposed on the inner edge of the avoidance hole.
