1. A computing device comprising:
a processor to be coupled to a display device; and
a boot controller coupled to the processor and to be coupled to the display device, wherein the boot controller is to:
receive sensor data, wherein the sensor data is to be detected by one or more sensors subsequent to an event to power on the computing device and prior to an operating system being loaded by a boot process of the processor;
use the sensor data to determine posture information indicating a posture associated with the display device; and
communicate, to the display device, the posture information indicating the posture associated with the display device, wherein pre-boot content is to be displayed on a display panel of the display device in a first arrangement based on the posture information.
