  "abstract": "In some examples, a display device may include a display surface having a rectangular shape and a bezel surrounding the display surface. The bezel may include a release mechanism linked to two L-shaped arms that are stored retracted into the bottom of the display device. When retracted, the L-shaped arms may not be externally visible. When selected, the release mechanism may cause the L-shaped arms to be released from the bottom of the display device. The L-shaped arms may each be positioned to hold (e.g., store) a keyboard. A length of each of the L-shaped arms may be independently adjustable. In some cases, a back of the keyboard may include a U-shaped ridge to couple with a U-shaped groove on a mouse to temporarily store the mouse on the back of the keyboard when the keyboard is stored in the L-shaped arms.",
