Is that a Pico Projector Portfolio in you Pocket?

Last summer we were all pretty underwhelmed with the AAXA pico-projector model that we purchased. Mostly due to the low output and a very limited battery life.

At EDUCAUSE 2010 in Anaheim we got some hands-on time with these two models by Optoma. They each seemed a lot more promising, take a look at the reviews linked.

There's also a small sized "Portfolio" carrying case that has a built in 15.5" " diagonal Projector Screen 
Dimensions 14.25" x 2" x 10.75"
Weight 2.2 lbs

Part #BK-PK30DF
UPC Code:796435 09 010 4
  • Project images of up to 15.5" diagonal onto built-in matte white screen
  • Includes convenient mini tripod
  •  Store and protect your Pico projector in the dedicated pocket
  • Separate accessories pocket for Pico projector essentials
  • Transport your netbook and important documents in the expandable sleeve
  • Sleek design in black leatherette





I'd also suggest picking up an HDMI To Mini HDMI + Mini HDMI To Mini HDMI Cable 1m) for the PK201 and PK301 Part #BC-PK3AHMK  ( http://www.amazon.comOptoma-BC-PK3AHMK-Cable-PK201-PK301/dp/tech-data/B003F8Q6SE )
