Embodiments of the present invention disclose a track guided hinge assembly for a portable electronic device. According to one embodiment, the portable electronic device includes a base housing and a panel configured to cover a top surface of the base housing. A first mounting bracket having a first guide track is mounted within the base housing. A second mounting bracket having a second guide track is positioned adjacent to the first mounting bracket. Furthermore, the portable electronic device includes a panel bracket member including a hinge pivot shaft that extends perpendicularly therefrom and configured to follow the second guide track, and a guide plate having a guide pin extending perpendicularly therefrom and configured to follow the first guide track. When the panel pivots and rotates away from the base housing, the guide pin moves along the first guide track simultaneously as the pivot shaft moves along the second guide track. |
