A computing device comprising: a base member including a front side, a back side opposite the front side and a fixed shaft fixed within the base member at one end thereof defining a first axis of rotation; a support member rotatably connected at a first end thereof to the base member via the fixed shaft; and a display member including a display surface, and a back surface opposite the display surface rotatably connected to a second end of the support member opposite the first end, around a second axis of rotation that is parallel to the first axis of rotation; wherein the pivot between the display member and the support member is configured to allow for the display member to pivot a full 180 degrees around the second axis such that the computing device may be operated in a tablet mode or a laptop mode, wherein in the tablet mode the display member and the base member are collapsed against each other in a parallel orientation with the front side of the base member being covered by the back surface of the display member, and wherein in the laptop mode the display member forms an appropriate angle with respect to the base member with the display surface facing towards the front side of the base member; characterized in that the computing device further comprises: a latch mechanism disposed in the support member, wherein the latch mechanism is exposed from the support member and is configured to be depressed by the display member when in the laptop mode to make contact with the fixed shaft and control or limit the rotation of the support member around the first axis of rotation, such that the display member is positioned at an appropriate angle with respect to the base member; and a spring connected to the latch mechanism and configured to keep the latch mechanism away from the fixed shaft when the latch mechanism is not depressed by the display member allowing the support member to freely pivot around the first axis via the fixed shaft between the folded position against the base member and the position at the appropriate angle with respect to the base member. a base member including a front side, a back side opposite the front side and a fixed shaft fixed within the base member at one end thereof defining a first axis of rotation; a support member rotatably connected at a first end thereof to the base member via the fixed shaft; and a display member including a display surface, and a back surface opposite the display surface rotatably connected to a second end of the support member opposite the first end, around a second axis of rotation that is parallel to the first axis of rotation; wherein the pivot between the display member and the support member is configured to allow for the display member to pivot a full 180 degrees around the second axis such that the computing device may be operated in a tablet mode or a laptop mode, wherein in the tablet mode the display member and the base member are collapsed against each other in a parallel orientation with the front side of the base member being covered by the back surface of the display member, and wherein in the laptop mode the display member forms an appropriate angle with respect to the base member with the display surface facing towards the front side of the base member; characterized in that the computing device further comprises: a latch mechanism disposed in the support member, wherein the latch mechanism is exposed from the support member and is configured to be depressed by the display member when in the laptop mode to make contact with the fixed shaft and control or limit the rotation of the support member around the first axis of rotation, such that the display member is positioned at an appropriate angle with respect to the base member; and a spring connected to the latch mechanism and configured to keep the latch mechanism away from the fixed shaft when the latch mechanism is not depressed by the display member allowing the support member to freely pivot around the first axis via the fixed shaft between the folded position against the base member and the position at the appropriate angle with respect to the base member. a latch mechanism disposed in the support member, wherein the latch mechanism is exposed from the support member and is configured to be depressed by the display member when in the laptop mode to make contact with the fixed shaft and control or limit the rotation of the support member around the first axis of rotation, such that the display member is positioned at an appropriate angle with respect to the base member; and a spring connected to the latch mechanism and configured to keep the latch mechanism away from the fixed shaft when the latch mechanism is not depressed by the display member allowing the support member to freely pivot around the first axis via the fixed shaft between the folded position against the base member and the position at the appropriate angle with respect to the base member.
