Just to be clear, is a projector needed for this remote, or can I use the remote directly with my laptop?

You don't need a projector. It works with a desktop or laptop. When you click "next" on the remote, the PowerPoint slide moves to the next slide on your computer.

The remote works the Power Point on the Laptop. If you have a projector connected it will do one or both however you set it up.

A projector is not needed. The remote acts the same as the space bar or page-up/page-down keys and more if you are running something like PowerPoint.Good luck.

I use it with with powerpoint, so while you don't need a projector why would you just want to show a presentation with your laptop screen :-P

You don't neede a projector you dcan connect to a big screen tv via an rgb connector, same cable you use to connext a desktop to a monitor. If you pan to use it for presenttions then you would want a projector viewsonic makes good ones, look for the hights lumins and be aware that the bulbs for these projectors are around $200

You need a VGA or an HDMI cable to use your laptop with the projector. But the battery of the projector is pretty good so for short presentation you can project it using just the battery.

If your laptop has a VGA out or S-Video connection all you need is the appropriate cable.v if you have HDMI, you will need an active HDMI to VGA adapter. Keep in mind that this will not pass sound, and you need an extra USB port to power the active adapter. DO NOT buy the HDMI to USB cable, it will not work.Otherwise, it is an excellent projector for the money. I picked up a refurbished unit for $169, and it works wonderfully. Steam streaming to a 100" screen is awesome looking on it. This is playing with all the graphics at max.

To use the projector, you can project a Powerpoint or other presentation that has been saved to a thumb drive and no computer is needed. If you prefer to hook up a Mac to the projector, you will need an adapter. If you are going to hook up multiple computers to use this projector, I cannot help. Also, if you have wireless available, you can have links active to websites within your presentation.

I am so sorry. I cannot answer that question. The only comment that I can make is that you need to purchase the right cable to connect the laptop to the projector.

Yes, via HDMI. There is no VGA port. They pretty much don't exist on laptops anymore. Just get a HDMI to VGA converter if your projector/monitor doesn't have HDMI. $9.99 from Amazon Prime.

You do need a projector. I already had one that my school provided, but I don't know what brand it is.

I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. Yes, if you connect it via a USB cable it comes right up. You can also tweak it with the display settings on the computer as well as using the remote for the projector. I use it to teach workshops and it's nice, portable and works great.

Yes, you will need a projector. The higher the resolution and lumins. The better the picture quality will be.

You can but it has to be through a laptop or the receiver that you would connected to the projector with an HDMI cable. You cant just plug the drive into the projector itself.

There is an audio input and output on this projector. You can also run the sound directly out of your laptop via external speakers.

NOt directly from the projector, but from a laptop connected to the projector.

it has a vga port for pc connection. If your laptop has an hdmi port, you can also use it for pc connection. But this projector is not recommended for use in a large conference/church/class room with bright lights on or during the day time. It is not bright enough for business presentation. It is great for the home theater and games at your home though.

i think you can connect to a projector using a usb. there is a usb an a audio video output. there is also a usb input for a computer or a hard drive to record or playback

There is no remote. You would need to add a usb IR. Also, no OS. You'll need to add that and a hard drive and memory. Read the specifications for this box carefully.

It will project from a laptop through the VGA input. I will say, non-HDMI inputs aren't crystal clear on this projector, sometimes can be fuzzy. If you have a computer that can output via HDMI (maybe you'd need an adapter of some kind), it would be a lot clearer. That said, I think it's a good projector for the money. But I do see the resolution suffer on non-HDMI 1080p sources.
