1. An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to:
identify a state of a kickstand coupled to the IHS;
configure the IHS, at least in part, based upon the state;
detect of at least one of: a temperature of the IHS above or below a threshold temperature, a temperature of a component of the IHS above or below another threshold temperature, a fan speed above or below a threshold speed, a time-left-to-charge a battery above or below a threshold time, a network bandwidth or throughout above or below a threshold bandwidth or throughout, or an execution of an audio capture application; and
instruct a user to change the state of the kickstand, at least in part, in response to the detection.
