An example system includes a peripheral device including a first contact surface, and an electronic device including a housing, a second contact surface aligned with a surface of the housing, and a hinge coupled to the second contact surface. The second contact surface is to pivot into the housing about the hinge in response to an engagement with the first contact surface of the peripheral device.

Device contact surfaces

In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method may include determining how many computing devices are in a stackable configuration and selecting an algorithm for charging the computing devices while in the stackable configuration. The method may include, based on the number of computing devices in the stackable configuration, charging the computing devices according to the selected algorithm.

Stackable charging

In one example, a friction hinge includes a link connected to a slide slot of a first base with a movable shaft and connected to a base friction mechanism of a second base with a link friction mechanism, where the link includes a joint positioned between the movable shaft and the link friction mechanism. In another example, a friction hinge system includes a first link connected to a first slide slot of a first base with a first movable shaft and connected to a first base friction mechanism of a second base with a first link friction mechanism, a second link connected to a second slide slot of the second base with a second movable shaft and connected to a second base friction mechanism of the first base with a second link friction mechanism, and a joint shaft to connect the first link to the second link at a joint.

Friction hinges

In an example, a connector may comprise a female connection port including a first power trace and a first signal trace disposed within the female connection port, and a male connection plug rigidly attached to the female connection port and disposed adjacent to the female connection port. The male connection plug may include a second power trace and a second signal trace disposed on an outer surface of the male connection plug.
