Business travelers on the go are flocking to a new breed of oh-so-cute and oh-so-lightweight pico projectors such as the well-rated 3M MPro150. The attraction is clear -- these projectors put everything you need for a presentation into your pocket. With the MPro150, you can even leave your laptop at home as long as you keep things simple. Still, as our report on portable digital projectors points out, pico projectors are far from the perfect solution for every presenter.
The biggest gotcha is that while pico projectors produce an image that's big enough and bright enough for one-one-one meetings -- or maybe a small group if you keep the lights down low -- they quickly wilt under strong lights or in bigger rooms. For those who need something with a bit more presence, our report also covers larger portable digital projectors -- such as the InFocus IN3114 -- that shine when the very best image quality is a must, even in large spaces.
