The original 3M Pico projector has gotten even better with the arrival of its upgraded MPro120 sibling. Most notable are the latter's brighter projection, doubled LED lifespan and inbuilt stereo speakers for presentations and movie screening on-the-go. Users can also expect the MPro120 to operate four times as long as its predecessor, delivering up to 4 hours on a single charge via its removable battery. Another new addition is an integrated fold-out foot for elevating the miniature projector.

To further simplify installation, the company has bundled a slew of handy accessories. These include a universal voltage charger (with four AC plug adapters), tripod and two breakout cables: One set for composite-A/V inputs and another for PC plus an audio mini-jack. The 3M MPro120 is now retailing in Singapore for S$580 (US$418.50). We've not received any details for other Asian markets.

Wow. This is definitely the next big thing. I just picked it up and have found a million uses for it already.

For people like me who hate looking over the shoulder of people when we are doing work on lap tops...problem solved!
