1. A system comprising:
a processor;
memory accessible to the processor;
a base housing;
a display housing that comprises a display operatively coupled to the processor, a display side, and a back side, opposite the display side, that comprises a back side mobile device docking surface;
a hinge assembly that couples the display housing and the base housing for transitioning the display housing and the base housing between a closed clamshell orientation and an open clamshell orientation; and
mobile device control circuitry that, responsive to docking of a mobile device to the back side mobile device docking surface of the display housing, enables, via the processor, gesture control of the mobile device, as docked to the back side mobile device docking surface of the display housing, wherein the gesture control comprises a positional gesture based on detection of a change in position of the display housing, in the closed clamshell orientation, with respect to gravity, wherein the change in position comprises a tilt of the base housing and the display housing in the closed clamshell orientation, with the mobile device docked to the back side mobile docking surface of the display housing, from a first position with respect to gravity to a second more horizontal position with respect to gravity, and wherein, based at least in part on the change in position, the mobile device control circuitry issues a signal for rendering to a mobile device display of the mobile device.
