Should I buy the Optoma Pocket Projector?

Optoma Pico PK101 Projector
At Personal Projector we get many enquiries from businesses asking if we stock the Optoma pocket projector, which we dont for a number of reasons.
Whilst there are a number of plus points re the Optoma projector such as its size and price the feedback we are getting is that its not really suitable for business users. The Optoma has definitely been made down to a price and is one of the cheapest pocket projectors on the market as noted in the recent Stuff magazine article on pocket projectors. However for business users, its well worth paying the extra for that improved screen quality you get from 3m projector or even the Aiptek projector which both offer 640 x 480 resolution (see Compare Pico Projectors for more info).
Certainly from a business viewpoint many users who are used to high quality projectors in the boardroom feel the Optoma’s poorer screen resolution (480 x 220) is too much to sacrifice for the sake of £30-£40 extra. In addition, the Optoma doesn’t have any onboard memory or SD capability like the Aiptek Projector so you still have to carry your laptop (or other device) so you can connect to it whereas with the Aiptek you could ditch your laptop altogether.
