Oh, our projector died. So no luck on having one of those tonight.
Wait - even the small one is dead too?
No, but that one is SO dark.
So @scottalanmiller said his projector broke. I assume he will be shopping soon.
I am also in the market for a decent portable projector.
I do not need tiny.
I do not need to game.
I just need to do presentations.
I have no idea what is good or bad.So I want you all to help me narrow down the field.

What is your form of connectivity? HDMI, DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort
What is your max resolution?
Will you always be connected via hardwire?
I assume this is 100% laptop usage? -

Not really relevant as I have every adapter for my laptop. But if you make a person pick, HDMI is always safe.
What is your max resolution?
Want better than 800x600, I think that makes for a horrible presentation.

Yes

Yes

Trust me, very relevant. Some projectors & video devices do not "play nice" with the Apple mini Display Port adapters
(mini DP to VGA or HDMI or DVI)What is your max resolution?

What's the res of the monitor on your MBP?

Only 1280 x 800, but it drives much higher resolutions when an external monitor is connected.
