Abstract:
1. A processor controlled device comprising: a display and a base, wherein the display is a touch sensitive or pen sensitive display when in an opened, viewing position with respect to the base, wherein the touch sensitive or pen sensitive display has pen or touch sensitive buttons, regions, or drop-down menu items positioned at or near the top most part of the display; and said viewing position is such that the maximum torque typically applied to the display by a user in the ordinary use of the device, in relation to a rotational axis about which the device would rotate if it were to tip backwards, is less than that needed to cause the device to tip backwards about that rotational axis, but would be sufficient to cause such tipping if the display were in a similar position and hinged in a conventional clam shell arrangement at the rear of the base.
