\"Qumi_Q5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If a portable projector is in your future, the Qumi Q5 ought to be on your radar.\u00a0 At 6\u201d x 4\u201d x 1-1\/4\u201d, it is just slightly larger than many of the pico projectors out there, but this thing is truly useable in many lighting conditions.\u00a0 While the pico projectors I\u2019ve seen can only be used either 17\u201d away from the screen or in totally darkened rooms, the Q5 has got enough horsepower (lumens) that it could be used during a typical business meeting.<\/p>\n

When you first turn on the Qumi, you\u2019ll see what\u2019s called the Media Player Screen.\u00a0 From here you\u2019ll select the media type you want to play:\u00a0 movies, audio, photos, office documents, etc.\u00a0 Yep, you read that right.\u00a0 The projector will play all those WITHOUT your computer, if you have them stored on a USB stick. Now we are talking portable!<\/p>\n

With the MHL cable \u2013 you can also play directly from your Micro-USB equipped smartphone or tablet. More and more reasons you may be able to finally leave that laptop at home.<\/p>\n

With an optional Wi-Fi dongle, you can also supposedly tap into a network and actually browse the Internet.<\/p>\n
