Laptop with in Built Projector

June 5th, 2008 by Joanna Stern Beyond its Eee PC family line and sight of regular notebooks on demonstration at Computex, ASUS is showing off an enkindle prototype. In the corner of its booth is aG1 lap tipwith a in make projector. Sure we have all heard ab come out of the closet the possiblity of mini-projectors being streng henceed into cell phones, but no other company has coordinated them into laptops as of yet. Check out our video and first 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 rotatable micro-projector is able to project what is on the screen of the notebook onto a flat surface. On the prototype social unit only the top well(p) corner of the display was actually projecting. It was pretty neat to navigate to meshing sites and see them appear on the facing wall. I even pulled up a YouTube clip and was able to watch it on the white wall. The severalise and coloring 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- constitutional-laptop-projectorASUS Laptop With Built-In Projector Raises PowerPoint Threat to comminuted Tucked away in a quiet corner at Computex, ASUS is showing a nondescript laptop with a built-in pico projector. critical projectors have made variousappearancesat the tech show so far, most recentlyfrom Foxconn, but 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 reserved the first example of what could be a dotty use for this burgeoning new tech. For now though, the execution doesnt seem great.The staff at PC Perspective, who were the first to lay eyes on the de criminality, couldnt tell much about the exact specs of the projection unit but judging by the photo below (and the capabilities of other light projectors) the images wont exactly be dazzling. The camera is also built into the top of the bezel, which creates two pretty big chunks of wasted space. Speculative reservations aside, built-in projection capability could have serious potential in the backup 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, 2008in information processing systems pic The projector for handset has been break offed for about one year and is expected to be released within this year. However, if you extremity make a presentation, laptop is apparently more(prenominal) useful than a cellphone, whats more, laptops bombing look 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 a nd you can rotate it to adjust the position to get 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 magnetic disc in my laptop. Maybe an old mix CD. The worlds moving on from material 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 call for used to be. Not only are the machines crazily expensive ($2,675 and $3,110, for fair specs), but the addition of the pico projector is confounding and bizarre.How about adding an extra large battery in that space? Or hey, justremoving the optical driveand reservation a lighter, slimmer notebook? The entire point of a pico projector was to be little and mobileso if theyre so conveniently small, why would you ever want or need one integrated? The thing is clearly pegged for conc ourse 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 such as handsets and notebooks, Wong give tongue to that it is is possible and should not be a technical issue. Wong explained that placing a projector where the webcam is ordinarily 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 delayed by design and engineering obstacles in general 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 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 will lean toward keyboard-less designs, meaning input will be by a touchscreen panel. Wong believes that HP is unlikely to push non-Wintel products aggressively in the short circuit term since these products are still have issues in software compatibility with Windows-based applications. Additionally, the atom is susceptible to fluctuating consumer demand and therefore needs to be guardedly evaluated. (Editors note This article has been revised from its original version)
