ADJUSTMENT OF MAGNETIC FORCE IN A COMPUTING DEVICE

Abstract:

Magnetic force adjustment mechanisms are described herein. An electronic device includes a base, a first magnet carried by the base, a lid and a second magnet carried by the lid. The first and second magnets secure the base and the lid together with a holding force. A hinge pivotally couples the lid and the base. A slider displaces at least one of the first or second magnets relative to the other of the first or second magnets to reduce the holding force.
