Abstract
A method for positioning a user interface of a computing device is disclosed. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a computing device having a user interface (UI), a counterweight, and a housing assembly that houses the UI with one or more exposed portions, and the counterweight. The counterweight can be positioned in the housing assembly to cause a desired position of at least one of the one or more exposed portions of the UI when a select one of a plurality of surfaces of the housing assembly rests on a nearly planar surface. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
