Laptop with in Built Projector

June 5th, 2008 by Joanna Stern Beyond its Eee PC family line and slew of regular n angiotensin converting enzymebooks on display at Computex, ASUS is showing off an interesting image. In the corner of its booth is aG1 lap exceed computerwith a constituent(a) projector. Sure we have all heard about the possiblity of mini-projectors being built into carrel phones, tho no separate company has incorporated them into laptops as of yet. Check out our tv and inaugural impressions. I went hands-on with the laptop and think it could be awesome if it works as promised.Built-in to the top bezel of the notebook, the rotat fitting micro-projector is able to project what is on the screen of the notebook onto a flat surface. On the prototype unit only the top right corner of the display was actually projecting. It was pretty neat to fly to Web sites and see them appear on the confront wall. I even pulled up a YouTube mag and was able to watch it on the white wall. The contrast and color ing wasnt vivid and I couldnt find a way to adjust it on the system. But see for yourself and check out the video of the laptop projector in action. http//blog. laptopmag. com/asus-shows-off-built-in-laptop-projectorASUS Laptop With Built-In Projector Raises PowerPoint Threat to Critical Tucked away in a quiet corner at Computex, ASUS is showing a nondescript laptop with a built-in pico projector. picayune projectors have made variousappearancesat the tech show so far, most recentlyfrom Foxconn, however no other company has incorporated them into existing products, or for that matter shown many compelling applications for them other than in bulky and unrealistic cellphones. ASUS has provided the first example of what could be a fantastic use for this burgeoning bran-new tech. For now though, the execution doesnt seem great.The staff at PC Perspective, who were the first to lay eye on the device, couldnt tell much about the exact specs of the projection unit but judging by the pho to below (and the capabilities of other miniature projectors) the images wont exactly be dazzling. The camera is also built into the top of the bezel, which creates dickens pretty big chunks of wasted space. Speculative reservations aside, built-in projection capability could have serious potential in the business world, so ASUS may be on to something. http//gizmodo. com/5013328/asus-laptop-with-built+in-projector-raises-powerpoint-threat-to-criticalLaptop with built-in projector Jun. 07, 2008inComputers pic The projector for handset has been developed for about one year and is pass judgment to be released within this year. However, if you want make a presentation, laptop is apparently more useful than a cellphone, whats more, laptops battery life is longer. So, I bet you would like to own a laptop with a built-in projector. ASUS, a Taiwan based PC maker provide a good choice for us. It comes with an mini-projector on the top of the LCD display and you can rotate it to adjust the congeal to spring up the best image. picFujitsus Pico Projector-Packing Laptops Replace Optical Drive with Something Even More Useless I cant remember the last time I put a disc in my laptop. Maybe an sometime(a) mix CD. The worlds moving on from physical media Great But how about replacing that slot with something useful, and not apico projector? Fujitsus new LifeBook S761/C and P771/C notebooks are bizarre beasts, with fold-out pico projectors where your optical drive used to be. not only are the machines crazily expensive ($2,675 and $3,110, for middling specs), but the addition of the pico projector is confounding and bizarre.How about adding an bare large battery in that space? Or hey, justremoving the optical driveand making a lighter, slimmer notebook? The entire point of a pico projector was to be tiny and mobileso if theyre so hands down small, why would you ever want or need one integrated? The thing is clearly pegged for company room presentations and nothing else, as the pico projector is aimedsideways, with no other angle available. If this appeals to you, then please just get a reasonably priced laptop and a (separate) reasonably priced pico projector.

When asked if the mini-projector technology could be applied to other devices much(prenominal) as handsets and notebooks, Wong stated that it is is likely and should not be a technical issue. Wong explained that placing a projector where the web cam is normally located is not difficult (but facing outward or in a rotatable position). HP added afterward that the company has no plans for such a product this year. Although the idea of a mini-projector notebook is not new, successfully bringing products to market has been slow down by design and engineering obstacles mainly related to cooling solutions.In terms of which ODM would be able to develop such a product, market watchers speculated that HP would likely turn to Quanta Computer as one of its potential partners, as the notebook ODM has also invested in a projector manufacturer (Royaltek). Concerning HPs plans for this year, HP plans to launch several(prenominal) stand-alone mini-projector products in the market as an introduction to the notebook-integrated designs, Wong noted. As for tablet PCs, Wong said that HP depart lean toward keyboard-less designs, meaning input will be through a touchscreen panel. Wong believes that HP is unlikely to push non-Wintel produ cts aggressively in the short term since these products are still have issues in software compatibility with Windows-based applications. Additionally, the ingredient is susceptible to fluctuating consumer demand and therefore needs to be carefully evaluated. (Editors note This article has been rewrite from its original version)
