Abstract

Techniques for forming and adjusting a magnetic tension mechanism are described herein. A system includes a first magnetic element in a first component of a computing device. The system includes a second magnetic element in a second component of the computing device, wherein the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component are to be held in tension by a magnetic force. The system also includes an adjustment mechanism to adjust the force required to decouple the magnetic elements.
