If I were to use this for nothing more than powerpoint presentations, would it be worth it?

I purchased this for an elementary school teacher in the Philippines. I was skeptical. But the teachers at her school love it, they have asked us to order 5 more. I have not seen how they use it, but from what I understand their options are to use an inexpensive low quality projector like this for more interesting A/V displays, or just a blackboard. Buying a high end high quality projector is simply not an option, as many of these teachers are paying for their own equipment. For teachers who have access to a laptop, it gives them the opportunity to make much more interesting classroom presentations than they can using a basic blackboard.

Yes but does not come with the vga cable. Also if your presentation will have small lettering or any decent quality pictures you will have trouble reading/ seeing as the resolution is quite low

It won't work with PowerPoint, and probably not Keynote either. The remote is just a cut-down bluetooth keyboard with only the media keys. If the media keys on your keyboard do what you want, then the remote will do it too. Otherwise it won't.

I believe you are talking about the old picture slides, and the answer is no. It is used with a computer and programs such as powerpoint. It can also project whatever you are viewing on your computer. However, it is not able to do individual slides.

If you can get pics on a flash drive, just plug it in and play. I'm sure I could learn to customize the presentation, but it is easy to take care of the basic program.

As I recall, yes, it does. And a built in speaker, though I wouldn't use it for anything but small presentations.Good luck!

Yes. You can connect it to a laptop or a camera. You can also just upload your file on the video projector, then disconnect the laptop and do the presentations independently

iWork is great with ppt, vivalarevolution. Only thing is that Keynote is so far advanced beyond PowerPoint so some of the amazing transitions won't carry over. To be perfectly frank, OpenOffice.org sucks compared to MS Office and iWork.

Yes. I have used it with PowerPoint presentations on both Mac and Windows. I have also used it with Prezi presentations on Windows.

I got mine before the price went up. I used it for presentations in training classes. It has a great pointer and if you use PowerPoint you can black out the main screen and make changes for the next presentation instead of keeping the screen live so everyone can see what you are doing on your computer. I remove my batteries after every use. It's a great remote to have.

I haven't tried that, I have used PowerPoint with no problems. This tablet will do anything a laptop or PC can do. I love this tablet

Sorry don't use it that way. I use it with my laptop for powerpoint lectures.

No, it works wirelessly with your computer. Just plug in the wireless USB that comes with the remote into your computer USB port and it works instantaly in advancing your PowerPoint slides.

Yes. I was able to present a ppt presentation via a jump drive. However, most of my presentations were via a laptop.

Don't waste your time. The contrast you'll get is horrible and besides pictures & slides r the ONLY thing you own that r irreplaceable. Why would want a half-assed end result? Take them to Costco or ANY slide-to-digital house that uses vastly superior equipment.

You can but I would go with a little more expensive one. This one good for movies and DVD projections. If your going to use it all the time for power points. I would invest into a more name brand one.

You can get powerpoint for windows on OSX 10 :). The Mac variant is called presentations and has some unique features but you can continue to use Microsoft Powerpoint till you become more familiar.
