Abstract
An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, and a connection assembly. The connection assembly connects the first body and the second body and includes a first part and a second part. The first part is configured to allow the first body to move relative to the second body in a first motion mode. The second part is configured to allow the first body to move relative to the second body in a second motion mode. The first body moves in the first motion mode through the first part to a position satisfying a first position relationship with the second body. Movement of the first body in the second motion mode through the second part is impacted.
