    Abstract: A portable computing device may include a lid and a base. The lid may include a display and a camera on a front side of the lid. The base may include a keyboard on a top side of the base and a processor inside the base. The processor may be coupled to the display, the camera, and the keyboard. The processor may be configured to determine that the front side of the lid is rotating toward the top side of the base, and instruct the camera to capture at least a first photograph and a second photograph based on the determination that the front side of the lid is rotating toward the top side of the base.

    Abstract: The subject technology provides implementations for entering an ambient assist mode for a digital assistant. The subject technology determines, using a set of signals, to activate an ambient assist mode for a client computing device, the client computing device including a screen and a keyboard, and the client computing device is currently executing in a mode other than the ambient assist mode. Further, the subject technology activates, at the client computing device, the ambient assist mode in which the ambient assist mode enables the client computing device to enter a low power mode and listen for an audio input signal corresponding to a hotword for activating a digital assistant, and the digital assistant is configured to respond to a command corresponding to the audio input signal using at least the screen of the client computing device.

    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.
