For those in the business of presentations the data projector runs hand in hand as a tool of the trade almost as important as the notebook computer.

Whenever PC Authority reviews a data projector, we try it out with DVDs and games, and we test entertainment projectors with PCs just to see how they handle applications other than those they’re specifically designed for.

Slightly over budget and over-specified to fit within last month’s budget projector roundup, the Casio XJ-360 is a very compact and very capable projector that may just be worth those extra dollars.
