A notebook computer (10) has a detachable display (14/140). A stand (26/30/34) integral to the display supports the display while apart from a main system unit (12) of the computer. Alternatively, a separate height adjustable stand (136) is used to support the detached display. The display has a locked and an unlocked state while attached to the system unit. The display cannot be detached from the system unit while locked. The display unit, however, is operational and rotatable between an open position and closed position while locked. Although attached, the display cannot achieve the closed position while unlocked. In one configuration of the integral stand (34), two support structures (81) are independently rotatable relative to a viewing plane with multiple degrees of freedom. <IMAGE> |
