Claims15
A computing system comprising:
- a computing device including an opening and a first magnetic element proximate to the opening;
- and
- a base including a post to insert into the opening to facilitate docking the computing device to the base, the post including a second magnetic element attracted to the first magnetic element to facilitate alignment of the post with the opening.
A computing base comprising:
- a connection interface to couple the computing base to a computing device, the connection interface including a magnetic post to insert into a magnetic opening of the computing device to facilitate aligning the computing device to the computing base for docking.
A computing device comprising:
- a housing including a magnetic opening to mate with a magnetic post of a computing base to facilitate aligning the computing device to the computing base for docking.
