A data processor with rotatable display includes a display unit having a rectangular display surface rotatable to either a vertically elongated position or a laterally elongated position, and a control unit for setting an onscreen display format presented by the display unit to either a vertically elongated format or a laterally elongated format. The control unit stores the onscreen display format displayed at the time the data processor is turned off. Then when the data processor is later turned on, the stored onscreen display format is used.
