It is easy to take the screen off its support, and thus switch to the tablet form and use the touch screen, transforming it into an exquisite tablet product.

In a company blog post, HP said it wanted to create an Android device that could be shared among users in a family home. ā€œCreating a large-screened device with touch functionality, we thought we could unlock more uses,ā€ said HP’s Eric Wiggins in the post.
