Abstract
A hybrid computer system is provided. The hybrid computer includes a display portion attached to a base portion via hinge. The display portion can be folded flat against the base portion such that the display screen faces outwards, for use in a tablet computer configuration. The display portion can alternatively be tilted upwards relative to the base portion, with the display portion being hinged at a front edge of the display and in a middle section of the base portion. When the display is articulated upwards, a support structure can be deployed between the backside of the display and the base portion, in order to provide physical support to the display and resistance against hinge movement in response to a user pressing on the display to engage touchscreen functionality.
