A system comprising:
- a base comprising:
- a frame;
- a keyboard enclosed by the frame, the keyboard being configured to wirelessly communicate with a tablet computing device;
- and
- a mount hingedly attached to the frame, the mount comprising:
- a first base column of magnets extending in a first direction, the first direction being generally perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the mount about the frame;
- a second base column of magnets extending in the first direction;
- and
- a base row of magnets extending in a second direction, the second direction being generally parallel to the axis of rotation of the mount about the frame;
- and
- a tablet computing device comprising:
- a display;
- a housing enclosing the display, the housing having a length in the first direction and a width in the second direction, the width being greater than the length;
- a first tablet column of magnets extending in the first direction from a lower end portion of the housing and aligned with the first base column of magnets;
- a second tablet column of magnets extending in the second direction from the lower end portion of the housing and aligned with the second base column of magnets;
- and
- a tablet row of magnets extending in the second direction from the lower end portion of the housing and aligned with the base row of magnets.
