We need a ST projector for business presentations. Will this do power points and videos well? Will it work with a MacBook Pro (2014-2015 model)?

Simply plug in your desk top and you can show all the PPT's and Videos you want. Excellent sharp images also.

You can download iProjection from the app store on your Mac, and you will have access to every document on your Mac as well as pictures and websites.

Hello, since I buy in 2012, I have had no problems with this projector performs well in video, brightness, and luminance, as used with DVD, laptop, pc, ipad, phone, it is much better if you are using an HDMI cable, magnificia resolution is, go for it.

This should work, although the Apple TV and/or the computer may not find the optimized resolution of the projector if connected through this switch. Projectors' resolutions are usually relatively low, so it probably does not matter.

It won't work with PowerPoint, and probably not Keynote either. The remote is just a cut-down bluetooth keyboard with only the media keys. If the media keys on your keyboard do what you want, then the remote will do it too. Otherwise it won't.

yes you can absolutely use it to project excel, word, power point, or internet search - you can also project movies from netflix or downloaded etc,. this is how I use it in my small business. It will project anything from your computer.

Yes, I use the projector with my powerpoint presentations that are on my computer.

I have a Mac Book from about 2009. I use the dongle that came with it to convert to VGA. The projector should come with a 6' VGA cable. I hope this helps.

It should work. This dongle makes you download a small app on your local computer (Mac and PC compatible) that allows you to connect to the projector. Make sure you have access to power supply around the projector for the dongle.

Yes, the Apple Cinema Display is designed to work with the MacBook Pro. I have the late 2012, but I had the 2010 also. The Display not only works with the MacBook Pro, it provides power and a hub with usb, thunder bold, firewire, and either net all with a single cable.

There is a 14 pin cable that came with the projector. There should be a 14 pin plug on your computer like the one on the back of the projector. The hand held controller for the projector has a button on the left front that says "computer". Press that. On your computer there should an option for the display image to go to an optional display. On a Dell computer it is a function key 8. You might have to experiment a little. Unfortunately I do not have a mac to confirm my directions so I can only hope this works for you. For me it works great through many presentations. john.day@verizon.net

Hello,Yes it does work on my company's MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. However IT did not commit to support it so I use it at my own risk. And I have to say that the second screen (the one attached through the adapter) does not respond as fast as the first screen. When I drag or move windows there is a lot of flickering and a little bit of lag. But since I only use it to have more open windows and do not need to run or edit video, animations, etc., it works fine for me.

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.

Hey Kim. Yes you can. What you need is an adaptor which apple sells on line. It should have hdmi on one end and whatever the display port is for your macbook on the other. I've also done this with this projector with my iphone and ipad to watch movies with an adaptor that has the multi pin apple ios port on one side and hdmi on the other. The projector has worked well for me, just make sure that the short throw distance of this model is appropriate for your space- the screen is huge at longer distances.

Yes, ofcourse, It works perfectly!! It's a great slide presentation tool. But I recommend to use It with Keynote. Using it at Powerpoint presentations may cause slide freezing. Actually it happens with anykind of slide presenter. I have a Targus, and even moving the presenter selector switch to Mac-Powerpoint presentation, the freezing happens anyway. So I believe it is a powerpoint issue and not the presenter device.

This projector plays videos so you can download any video player on the App Store. The projector plays utube videos also. It projects Keynote which is a Mac product similar to PowerPoint so it probably projects PowerPoint also. Essentially it projects videos, movies, utube, etc

I had to buy a dvi adapter for my macbook in order for the video cable to connect to it. It has excellent resolution for Powerpoint.

Yes. Works well. I use it for lectures with powerpoint (forward/backward) and the green laser. Keep an extra set of batteries in your briefcase. They last pretty long, depends on how much you use the laser it seems, and whether you turn it off when you are done.
