1. A computing device, comprising:

  • a device housing integrated with a display device and configured to tilt for multiple display positions;

    pivotable components configured to pivot in coordination to position the device housing in a display position;

    sensors configured to detect positioning inputs that are received to position the device housing;

    actuators configured for electronic actuation to one of limit movement of the pivotable components, or drive the pivotable components to position the device housing, each actuator being operable independent of the other actuators; and

    a pivot controller configured to control the actuators based on sensor data and control the pivotable components at multiple pivot points to counter-balance varying centers-of-mass of the computing device over a range of the multiple display positions to minimize a user input force that is applied to position the device housing in the display position.
