Hinge with translatable axis

An electronic device comprising:

• a first body;
• a second body rotatably connected to the first body around a first pivot point, the second body having a top surface and bottom surface positioned opposite one another in a vertical direction of the second body;
• a third body rotatably connected to the first body;
• and
• a translation mechanism connected to the second body and the first pivot point, the translation mechanism displacing the first pivot point in the vertical direction between an upper position and a lower position relative to the second body and including a pinion gear that translates the first pivot point when the pinion gear rotates relative to the second body,
• wherein the upper position allows the third body and second body to attain a clamshell position and the lower position allows the third body and second body to attain a nested position.
