is this device suitable for a conference room? we do not have a need for video - just powerpoint, outlook and web browsing

Yes. You can use it similar to a wireless projector. Once you connect it to your TV, everything you do on your computer/laptop will be shown on the TV

This item has worked for me only one time. At most times it gets stuck at "Trying to connect to TV" message. I do not believe that this is going to serve as soft/hardware to be used for any presentation due to its unreliability. I have not tried APPLE TV but that may a suggestion for you to look into.reg.

If it's a small conference room. I couldn't get it to work reliably with more than 15' separation between the computer and the base receiver. And it must be line of sight. If someone were to walk between the two, your connection would likely be lost.

Been a long time since I used this but it will take a good to reasonable video in a standard office size room. Amount of light will have an effect but it does work in low light. Easiest way to down load is to use a SD memory card that you can remove and download to your computer.

I think it would work fine, I use it for taping lectures and it works fine. I think it will work fine for what you want to use it for.I am very pleased with it.Fred

Sorry don't use it that way. I use it with my laptop for powerpoint lectures.

I'm unsure. I never used its big brother. : ) This monitor may make a good TV. I could view PowerPoint on it clearly. But it is positioned as a "monitor", which it absolutely does not do well. It was completely unacceptable as a monitor to work on applications like MS Word or PowerPoint. I sent it back. Hope that helps.

Setup is very easy. You need a wall plug-in with power and a phone jack. All you do is plug everything in. Very simple. That room is pretty large but it should work okay as long as everyone isn't talking at once. Our conference room is about 15' x 35' and we have 7 people in the room with 3 others calling in and generally don't have any problems.

I haven't tried that, I have used PowerPoint with no problems. This tablet will do anything a laptop or PC can do. I love this tablet

This would be fine but the Mac will have problems eventually. Whether its no sound, to the white wall of death (I suggest you google that so you have a better understanding of that issue). Also your daughter doesn't need Microsoft Office Try to download Open Office it does the exact same thing minus the fancy slides that MSO will have. Its the most pragmatic approach if you don't want to spend a lot of extra money on Microsoft office. Also the Surface Pro 3 is as capable as a laptop minus the weight if you want to spend money on an actual working product.

Yes it should work fine for your needs, however it is not loaded with office suite.

Hey TJL, it is. It's not the biggest screen out there, but it is perfect for small conference rooms (less than 40 people), and should do well for a birthday party. I bought it to do small-scale housing market presentations and its served me well. Not too heavy to tote around, and relatively easy to set up.

Yes, I am doing that exact thing every week for a internet meeting. very easy to do. screen on the camera pops up showing webcam option when plugged in. just click.

I don't know about that as I have never tried it. However, I use a wireless Power Point presenter for presentations, and it works fine. There are 3 USB ports on the computer and all function well.

Not sure it will completely resolve your issue. However, we use this in our conference room on a daily basis without issue. Make sure you are using a good quality HDMI cable. Hope this helps!

It's a great little machine, but it is NOT gamer capable. That's totally not the market this is focused at - think of this thing as a modern "netbook". It's fine for browsing the web and general "office" apps, but you aren't going to want to run anything beyond web-based games on it.

Really depends on what applications you need, it is fine for browsing and can run office apps--but is NOT a workhorse.

we use speakers intended for a PC and they are work fine for us. We have a relatively small conference room though.

Being that Chrome OS is primarily a cloud based device and one of the lightest operating systems out there you really don't need anything faster than a Celeron in this computer. If you are going to be dealing with professional video though, Google through Asus offers a Chromebox with a Core i7 for Businesses and their video conference needs - it may not have all of the features this one does.You also have to have a Business in order to buy one and it comes with a microphone, camera, and a year of support for $1,000.
