Abstract: An information handling system has a chassis and a lid, the lid rotating between a closed position and a tablet position. An indicator coupled to the lid, such as a magnet, aligns with a first detector coupled to a chassis of the information handling system, such as a Hall effect detector, in the tablet position so that the detector signals to a position detector module to disable a keyboard of the information handling system. The indicator aligns with a second detector coupled to the chassis in a closed configuration so that the second detector signals to the position detector module to enter a power down state.
