1. A portable computing system, comprising:

  • a first housing including;

    a first display device having a display interface;

    first memory configured to store first instructions and first data;

    one or more first input and output devices;

    one or more first sensors devices; and

    one or more first processors coupled to the first display device, memory, input and output devices, and sensor devices; and

    a second housing including;

    a second display device having a display interface;

    second memory configured to store second instructions and second data;

    one or more second input and output devices;

    one or more second sensor devices; and

    one or more second processors coupled to the second display device, memory, input and output devices, and sensor devices;

    wherein, when the first housing is physically coupled to the second housing, the one or more first processors and the one or more second processors operate collectively in combination in a first mode via a physical or virtual bus to process at least one of the first instructions, the second instructions, the first data or the second data, and in the first mode the second memory is arranged as a shared resource in which the one or more first processors are configured to buffer content in the second memory;

    wherein, when the first housing is not physically coupled to the second housing, the one or more first processors operate separately from the one or more second processors in a second mode in which the one or more first processors do not process the second instructions or the second data, and the one or more second processors do not process the first instructions or the first data, and in the second mode;

    resource sharing of the second memory by the one or more first processors is disabled;

    the one or more first processors are configured to implement a first instance of an active application for use by a first user; and

    the one or more second processors are configured to implement a second instance of the active application for use by a second user;

    wherein the second instance is distinct from the first instance, in which different pieces of content are separately presentable to the first and second users on respective display devices of the first and second housings; and

    wherein in the second mode the first and second instances of the active application share one set of account login information.
