CES report
Laptop? Check. MP3 Player? Check. Portable speakers? Check. Pocket projector? Check. The amount of gear business travelers haul around is enough to weigh anyone down. However, that load will get a little lighter with the introduction of the 3M MPro150, the ultimate personal electronics device for the business professional. The latest tool in 3M’s award-winning MPro family of pico projectors, the 3M MPro150 boasts one of the most robust feature sets of any pocket projector currently on the market, combining several applications into one compact, efficient device optimized for the on-the-go businessperson. No more sifting through a small electronics store when checking in for flights, or needing to bring multiple totes to presentations.
Professional pocket projector features
Designed with professionals in mind, the 3M pocket projector includes 1 GB internal memory, a micro SD card slot and a USB input for transferring files from a laptop or netbook, eliminating the necessity of a pass-through device and allowing entire presentations to be pre-loaded onto the projector itself. The 3M MPro150 pocket projector supports Microsoft Office applications (Word, Power Point and Excel), as well as Adobe PDF, photos and video, allowing the user to project images up to 50-inches at 15 lumens brightness in either the boardroom or break room. En route to that important presentation, business professionals can relax with their favorite tunes, courtesy the 3M MPro150’s integrated MP3 player and headphone jack. And, when it’s time to share with colleagues, a pair of integrated stereo speakers turn the MPro150 into a theater-on-the-go.
Optional accessories for the 3M pocket projector
Additional features include an integrated flip stand, tripod and a variety of input cables, which make the pocket projector ready to use “out-of-the-box” with a wide range of today’s most popular video output gadgets. Available optional accessories include an adapter cable for Apple products, component video cable and car charger.
Pocket projector for business professionals
"The 3M MPro150 puts an entire suite of presentation tools into the business professional’s pocket,” said Mark Colin, vice president, 3M Mobile Interactive Solutions Division. “With no need to pack a separate laptop or projector, business professionals can travel a bit lighter. It’s great for use at home and on-the-go, as well."
3M MPro150 pocket projector price & availability
The lightweight 3M MPro150 pocket projector is just over 5 inches long and weighs a mere 5.6 ounces. It is now available for pre-order from the website of 3M and Amazon, at an estimated price of $395. Orders will begin shipping in early February.
