HP to Launch Laptops With Integrated Projectors

Digitimes cites Monty Wong, vice president and manager of personal computing systems group at HP Taiwan, who says the company has plans to launch both tablets and notebooks PCs with integrated mini projectors.

HP is said to be considering placing the projector on top of the notebook screen, where the webcam is normally located.
