An all-in-one keyboard, comprising:
- a plurality of keys;
- a configurable touch screen display adjacent to the plurality of keys on a top side of a housing;
- a movable display that is movably coupled to a bottom side of the housing below the plurality of keys;
- and
- a torque hinge coupleable to the movable display, the torque hinge to maintain the moveable display at a viewing angle when the moveable display is exposed,
- wherein the movable display is slidable among:
- a first position corresponding to a first side of the plurality of keys,
- a second position corresponding to being hidden under the plurality of keys, and
- a third position correspond to a second side of the plurality of keys.
