HP 11-inch tablet PC with rotating camera hits the market

HP had announced the launch of its 11-inch tablet PC back in September 2021. The tablet, which sports an interesting rotating camera, was supposed to hit the market in December 2021. But finally it seems to have made it at a price tag of $499. With an external keyboard it costs $100 more.

According to a report in Gizmochina, the tablet is currently available on Best Buy.

When the tablet was announced, the talking point understandably was the the flip-out camera that can be used both in front and back. HP pegged it as the world’s first tablet with rotatable camera and world’s first tablet with 13 MP front camera, which allows users to go from selfie mode to a world-view mode in an instant, or even to the desktop view for real-time sharing during video calls. 

The camera is on the top when the tablet is kept vertical, and its moves to the side when the tablet is placed horizontal, allowing for multiple use-cases. Then again, it suggested that HP had thought this through and was not making it just as a fancy gizmo.
