Ironically, I've decided not to include the tenting display idea I've had, whereby the display and speakers would revolve out and create a ∧-shaped configuration. There's already a lot of features that have to go right, and I've seen the kinds of engineering that needs to go into laptop or folding-phone hinges.
This means that the solution is going to be a bit Magic-Mouse-esque for the time being as the screen would be on the bottom of the device. The current expectation is that I'd only get the Settings app done anyway, and that it's possible to create an external tenting solution that has a mirror as the base, allowing me to see the screen via it.
As one of the unvocal population of people that liked the live-tiles of Windows and Windows Phone, the expectation for the Tetent UI is to take this even further by designing entire apps as tile-shaped widgets, with the sizes being 400*200px and 400*400px (and potentially a 200*200px). These sizes are chosen because of the portrait-mounted 640*400px display prizm I'm planning for #Tetinerary [gd0151].
I'm planning for the sound of the speakers to come from the same gap that the Tetrinsics go into, to make them more discrete. Ideally, I can find a way to do this whilst ensuring that stray UV-C radiation makes its way out. This also means that the USBC is most likely to go on the side. Another reason for its placement is that Teti uses 90-degree USBC cables for the portable monitors.
