Electronic device with collapsing interface components

An electronic device comprising:

• a display unit;
• a main body unit, the display unit rotatably mounted to the main body unit, the main body unit having a sidewall divided into first and second sidewall segments that are movable relative to one another corresponding to the main body unit being movable between active and storage states;
• and
• an interface component mounted within the sidewall of the main body unit, wherein the segments move relative to one another such that the sidewall shifts between first and second heights corresponding to the main body unit being movable between the active and storage states.

A method comprising:

• providing an electronic device with a display unit rotatably mounted to a main body unit;
• positioning the display unit and the main body unit in an operative position, the display unit rotatable from the operative position toward the main body unit to a storage position of the electronic device;
• and
• providing a first segment of a sidewall of the main body unit to be movable relative to a second segment of the sidewall of the main body unit to reduce the height of the main body unit.
