Abstract
A portable computing device may include a lid and a base. The lid may include a display on a front side of the lid. The base may be rotatably attached to the lid. The rotatable attachment of the base to the lid may enable the lid to rotate from an open position in which the lid is rotated away from the base to a tablet position in which a back side of the lid faces a bottom side of the base. The base may include a keyboard on a top side of the base and an elastic sheet extending over the keyboard. The keyboard may include keys configured to retract into the base in response to the lid rotating to the tablet position and extend out of the base in response to the lid rotating out of the tablet position.
