Abstract: A convertible mobile compute device comprises a lid, a base, and a hinge assembly coupled to the lid and the base. The hinge assembly includes a lid hinge bracket secured to the lid and configured to rotate about a lid hinge axis. The hinge assembly also includes a base hinge bracket secured to the base and configured to rotate about a base hinge axis. The lid hinge axis is offset from a centerline axis defined by the lid, and the base hinge axis is offset from a centerline axis defined by the base. As described herein, the offsetting of the hinge axes provides for a smaller a lid-to-base gap when the convertible mobile compute device is positioned in a closed mode relative to when the convertible mobile compute device is positioned in a tablet mode.
