Abstract
A portable electronic product with a Qwerty keyboard has a single display for reducing the manufacturing cost and a Qwerty keyboard for inputting data more conveniently. The portable electronic product includes a housing, a Qwerty keyboard mounted in the housing and a display. The Qwerty keyboard is exposed to a bottom surface of the housing and has an outer surface that is lower than the bottom surface of the housing. The display is assembled on a top surface of the housing and has a side edge that is partially or fully mounted with one edge of the housing pivotally. Therefore, the display is able to swivel relative to the housing. When the user needs to input data, the display can be turned to a position that simultaneously faces to the user with the Qwerty keyboard.
