Abstract

A method for separating a dividable computer device into multiple sub-computers may include receiving, by the dividable computer device, a command to separate a sub-computer from the dividable computer device. The method may also include detecting by the dividable computer device separation of the sub-computer and reconfiguring the dividable computer device for operation without the separated sub-computer in response to each sub-computer being separated.
