1. An information handling system comprising:
a housing having first and second housing portions rotationally coupled by a hinge;
a main board coupled to the housing, the main board having a central processing unit and memory that cooperate to process information and to generate visual information that defines visual images;
at least one secondary board coupled to the housing separate from and interfaced with the main board, the secondary board having processing components that cooperate to perform secondary functions that support main board operation;
a housing cover having a keyboard and sized to couple over the first housing portion,
a display sized to couple over the second housing portion and interfaced with the processor to present the visual information as visual images, the display perimeter and the second housing portion perimeter having opposing couplers that hold the display in place and release the display when a predetermined separation force is applied; and
a keystone element exposed at the display exterior to couple the display to the housing, the keystone element when coupled in place preventing release of the opposing couplers.
