Abstract
Apparatus, systems, articles of manufacture, and methods have been disclosed that include example hinges that enable a physical keyboard to be stowed between halves of a closed electronic device with dual screens. An example device includes a first screen having a first end and a second end, a second screen having a first end and a second end, and a hinge assembly to couple the first screen and the second screen. The hinge assembly includes a first hinge pair and a second hinge pair. The first hinge pair and the second hinge pair are to cause the first end of the first screen and the first end of the second screen to be separated a first distance when the device is in a closed position. The second end of the first screen and the second end of the second screen are separated a second distance when the device is in a closed position, the second distance less than the first distance.
