1. A computing device, comprising:
- a device housing integrated with a display device and configured to tilt for multiple display positions;
pivotable components that are mechanically-linked and configured to pivot in coordination to position the device housing in a display position;
sensors configured to detect positioning inputs that are received to re-position the device housing;
clutch mechanisms configured to at least one of limit or resist movement of the pivotable components based on the positioning inputs; and
a stability controller configured to determine user input to re-position the device housing based on sensor data that corresponds to the positioning inputs.

Abstract
In embodiments of a stability control system, a computing device includes a device housing that is integrated with a display device, and the device housing tilts for multiple display positions. Pivotable components are mechanically-linked and pivot in coordination to position the device housing in a display position, and sensors detect positioning inputs that are received to re-position the device housing. Clutch mechanisms are implemented to limit and/or resist movement of the pivotable components based on the positioning inputs. A stability controller can be implemented to control the clutch mechanisms based on sensor data from the sensors to position the device housing in a display position.
