Same as the other answers. This is a portable monitor. Everything that it shows is driven by another external device, laptop, camera etc.

Connect it to your laptop like you would with any monitor or projector. Then you can show your PowerPoint presentation. VGA video cable does not come with the monitor. I bought a Gechic On-Lap 1502/2501C VGA Video Cable (available on Amazon) to connect my laptop to the GeChic monitor.

you would have to save/open the power point on your computer, tablet or smartphone and then connect the device to the GeChic. The GeChic will mirror whatever is saved on your device. You can't save documents or powerpoint directly on the GeChic.

It's a battery powered monitor. There is no way to load anything onto it. It's just like your monitor at home it just shows you the picture that your computer tells it to display.

The website is posted on the box. The tutorial is on you tube. Sorry but I tossed the box so I can't help with that info.

It's just a screen, so anything that your computer tries to display will display on it (including PowerPoint).

Please let me know what you think of it once you've tried it out. (It's encouraging to hear Tony used it.) Also, I'd like to know what equipment I need to use in conjunction- I don't have my own smartboard in my classroom and I'm not sure if I can borrow one long-term! But if I can just hook it up to my computer and project it on a screen, I think I'm good to go! -I look forward to hearing from you!

Did work very well, but it works on keynote mode mouse not in mode presentation, so for power point it doesn't work so well, just for get forward the slide.I Hope give you some idea.

No it's just a pointer and advances power point presentation. I do not use it anymore because it only worked once

Hi Ramiro. Funny you ask that! I actually presented a ppt presentation last night and it consisted of MP3s and videos at the same time with texts and it worked great! No lag and very smooth!

best way is to go to their web-site: http://www.prlabs.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath;=1_12&products;_id=116

Hi Luis,Didn't realize google had presentation docs. Very cool! I just checked it out and it does work!

Ignore Brad's answer. There's no way to present a ppt directly from the projector. You can export your ppt from Powerpoint as individual JPGs, and then play those as a slideshow on the projector using the included remote. This sounds more difficult than it actually is. If any of your ppt slides have elements that fade-in, move, etc. that functionality is lost.

I have no idea -- I purchased essentially for a one time use with a presentation - sorry I can't help

Amazon is listing this item as "unavailable" so your question may be moot. I purchased an earlier version of this item about two years ago. I returned it because its contrast, while good for graphics, was too great for continuous-tone photographs I wanted do show. I see a newer version is posted by Amazon and the description of that new version specifically notes "For Business Presentations & Personal Media Sharing."

If you want to make slideshows for your website I would strongly suggest Soundslides. http://www.soundslides.com

You use the button on the projector. I've learned that you have to be careful with what I put in a PowerPoint. I always double check my slides on the projector to make sure they all work correctly. Also fancy animations don't work.

No. I don't believe it will accept PowerPoint. You probably would need to convert to a compatible video format.

honestly, that is where this pointer comes up a little short. It's functionality for things other than slide advance and pointing is sketchy. the intention is there, but depending on how often you are going to use it you might be disappointed. I use it for irregular presentations, but my partner upgraded because he presents elaborate powerpoints for a living.

I do not think you could do this. You would need to have PowerPoint loaded onto the machine first.
