Abstract: The description relates to hinged devices, such as hinged computing devices. One example can include a hinge assembly that rotatably secures a first portion and a second portion. The hinge assembly can define a hinge shaft. The hinge assembly can include an adjustable closed-loop friction band secured to the first portion. The adjustable closed-loop friction band can extend between an aperture end and a removable end. The removable end can include a removable torque control element having a thickness that also at least in part controls a dimension of an aperture that receives the hinge shaft and thereby controls friction between the aperture and the hinge shaft.

Abstract: The description relates to hinged devices, such as hinged computing devices. One example can include an expandable hinge assembly that rotatably secures a first portion and a second portion. The example can also include a hinge assembly positioned between the first portion housing and the second portion housing and that includes first and second rotatable links that are rotatable relative to both the hinge assembly and the first and second portions.
