Claim:
1. An apparatus, comprising a hinge to couple a first housing of a computing device and a second housing of the computing device, the hinge to provide at least three degrees of freedom between the first housing and the second housing, the at least three degrees of freedom comprising: rotational movement of the first housing around a first axis parallel to a long axis of the second housing, wherein the first axis is perpendicular to a second axis extending lengthwise at a center of a connecting component; linear movement along the second axis perpendicular to the first axis wherein the second axis extends lengthwise at the center of the connecting component of the hinge connecting the first housing and the second housing; and rotational movement of the first housing around the second axis extending lengthwise at the center of the connecting component, wherein the second housing comprises a chamfered edge, wherein rotational movement of the first housing around the second axis extending lengthwise at the center of the connecting component initiates the linear movement when an edge of the first housing engages with the chamfered edge during initial rotational movement.
