Abstract
A foldable computing device comprises a first frame comprising a first magnet assembly and a second frame rotatably coupled to the first frame via a hinge. The second frame comprises a second magnet assembly operatively configured for rotation with respect to the second frame. The second magnet assembly attracts the first magnet assembly of the first frame when the first frame and the second frame are in a closed configuration. The second frame further comprises an actuator operatively configured to rotate the second magnet assembly to thereby reduce a magnetic force between the first magnet assembly and the second magnet assembly and allow the foldable computing device to open.
