The present disclosure provides a portable electronic device including a frame body supporting electronic components and a stand mechanism. The stand mechanism includes a foot, and an activator. The foot includes a foot support and a foot shaft including a foot guide path. The activator includes an engaging element, and the engaging element is received by the foot guide path. A portion of the foot guide path extends at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the foot shaft. When the activator engages a surface, the engaging element of the activator moves along the portion of the foot guide path at the angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the foot shaft causing the foot support to rotate from a stored position to a deployed position.
