US Patent 6865075 Transformable computing apparatus

A transformable computing apparatus and methods for configuring. An apparatus comprising a display, a key-entry device pivotally attached with the display and a housing pivotally attached with the display is configurable into an interactive user configuration when the key-entry device is pivoted about an edge of the display to a position adjacent with the display surface and the housing is pivoted about the edge of the display to a position adjacent with the opposing surface of the display. The apparatus is configurable into another interactive user configuration when the key-entry device is pivoted about the edge of the display to a position wherein an angle between the display surface and the key-entry device of substantially 90 degrees or more is formed, the housing being optionally pivoted about the edge of the display to a support position for the key-entry device.
