Abstract

See full text

Methods and devices are provided for aligning a display with a keyboard. In one exemplary embodiment, a device is provided that includes a lid and a based hingedly connected together to allow the computing device to be opened and closed. When the device is opened, the lid can be configured to automatically move relative to the base. In this way, a display included in the lid can be moved relative to a keyboard included in the base to align to display and the keyboard in an optimal orientation relative to one another, e.g., with the display centered relative to a center of an alphanumeric portion of the keyboard.
