Methods and devices are provided for aligning a display with a keyboard. In one exemplary embodiment, a device is provided that includes a lid and a based hingedly connected together to allow the computing device to be opened and closed. When the device is opened, the lid can be configured to automatically move relative to the base. In this way, a display included in the lid can be moved relative to a keyboard included in the base to align to display and the keyboard in an optimal orientation relative to one another, e.g., with the display centered relative to a center of an alphanumeric portion of the keyboard.

An input device and computing system is provided for a user to input data. An input device may comprise a touch sensitive pad and a hinge. The touchpad may have a touch sensitive surface. The touchpad may have a first end and a second end. The hinge may be disposed parallel to the first end and the second end. The touchpad may be pivotably connected to the hinge to allow displacement of the touchpad from a flat position to an activate position at the first end when a force is applied to the first end of the touch surface.
