ASUS' projector in a laptop

Darius Chang | Jun 06, 2008

When we first set eyes on the PMP projector, we thought how cool it would be if the same feature could be incorporated into a laptop. Well, ASUS seems to share the same sentiment as it showcased a prototype model with a swiveling projector where a Webcam would have been.

No details on the resolution or brightness were available, but from the photo we snapped it is apparent that the current iteration will be viable only in total darkness. Moreover, the top bezel of the LCD is so wide, it results in a 12.1-inch portable having a 15.4-inch footprint.

If projection is not for you, how about 3D? The ASUS G50V is a gaming machine with a twist. The Nvidia GeForce 9700M graphics engine powers a special LCD which gives a perception of depth. It's not quite in-your-face 3D, but a subtle depth perspective which is great for short clips, though murder on the eyes for fast-action games and movies.

No information on when the G50V will be out at this time, though.

I am interested in this.
Sometime when I do presentation, I do not have a projector available and spoilt the whole presentation.
