Abstract
A computer that includes a computer base and a display. The computer base has a user edge and a rear edge and the display has a viewing surface, a back surface, and a bottom edge. The rear edge of the computer base is interconnected to the bottom edge of the display by an articulated mechanism. The articulated mechanism enables the display to rotate about the bottom edge of the display at any of a plurality of viewing angles and also orients the display above the computer base in a plurality of positions. The display and articulated mechanism can be folded to a folded position. Optionally, a pop-up mechanism permits the articulated mechanism to pop-up from the folded position when triggered by the user.
