Abstract
An example system for adjusting the center of mass of a computing device includes a base slidably coupled to a first portion of the computing device. The base repositions the first portion of the computing device relative to the base. A first hinge couples the first portion and a second portion, rotates the second portion relative to the first portion about an axis of rotation, and repositions the first portion of the computing device relative to the base.
Claims16
A system for adjusting the center of mass of a computing device comprising:
- a base slidably coupled to a first portion of the computing device,
- wherein the base repositions the first portion of the computing device relative to the base, and
- wherein a first hinge coupling the first portion and a second portion rotates the second portion relative to the first portion about an axis of rotation and repositions the first portion of the computing device relative to the base.
A base for adjusting the center of mass of a computing device comprising:
- a number of rails, the rails to slidably couple the base to a first portion of the computing device,
- wherein the rails reposition the first portion of the computing device relative to the base, and
- wherein a first hinge coupling the fir portion and a second portion rotates the second portion relative to the first portion about an axis of rotation and repositions the first portion of the computing device relative to the base.
A clamshell form factor computing device comprising:
- a keyboard comprising a number of inputs;
- and
- a base slidably coupled to the keyboard,
- wherein the base repositions the keyboard relative to the base, and
- wherein a first hinge coupling the first portion and a selectively coupleable second portion rotates the second portion relative to the first portion about an axis of rotation and repositions the first portion of the computing device relative to the base.
The computing device of claim keyboard is sold as an after-market peripheral device.
