Abstract

A portable information handling system transformation between clamshell and all-in-one configurations is managed by a position manager that senses main and display housing positions to restrict configuration actions if predetermined conditions are detected. For example, transformation to an all-in-one configuration may be restricted if display housing location and rotational orientation are not set before extension of a stand that raises the main housing rear surface.
