Was going to purchase the PA77u and want to know if this is worth it instead. I need it to be portable and light. How do the 2 compare size & weight
471760
PA77U is slightly smaller and lighter. The key difference is resolution. PF85 is about 4.8LBS (dimensions10.8" x 1.8" x 8.6") while PA77U is 3.1LBS (9.05" x 6.69" x 1.73"). For portabulity and price PA77U is the winner but when it comes to the resolution PF85U is better at 1080P. PA77U is WXGA(1280X800).

I just googled them both and found these two pages: http://www.lg.com/us/projectors/lg-PA77U-portable-led-projector; http://www.lg.com/us/projectors/lg-PF85U-portable-led-projector. The technical specifications mention the weights, 3.1 lbs for the pa77u and 4.85 lbs for the pf85u. So the 77 is lighter, but that being said, I don't think I would have any trouble transporting the 85 anywhere.

It is worth every penny, way more better than other projector and its size and weight is the same as the pa77u

I got the 17" one and find it perfect for home and travel. I'm 5'8 if that helps you any with your purchase decision.

Hey Chris....this unit is light and I would not consider the base heavy. If you are thinking of matching this up with a Square set-up drop the $99.00 and get the Square Stand with the built in card swiper. For me, this unit was too light and flimsy to be used long term for anything other than personal use. You also have to be careful moving it, like walking with it while the tablet is in the stand or it could slide right out. After 6 months of use the tabs start to snap off. I'd take a pass on this particular stand if I were in your shoes. Not setting up Square? Then, I would find a stand that utilizes corner tabs.

Yes, it is truly mobile. The battery lasts up to 2 hours and with the wifi you can connect anywhere. However, it is a little bulky and heavy. It is more the screen size and weight that makes it a little less mobile friendly. I move mine from room to room sometimes and even to the patio. If I were running in someplace for 15 minutes, I don't know that I'd lug this VAIO with me, but if sitting someplace for an hour or two it is mobile enough. I haven't looked for a large carrier bag to pack it to go out someplace, but I'd suggest doing that too. Hope that helps? In short, truly mobile, yes. Conveniently mobile, less so than a laptop or smaller tablet.

The Asus will be faster due to having an overclockable processor. It will also have longer battery life, and be less cumbersome (the U550 weighs at least 60% more than the UL50VT). The UL50VT also has a dedicated G210M (in addition to the 4500MHD), whereas the U550's I see have only the integrated GMA4500MHD (not even close). The UL50VT has a larger hard drive; 500GB compared to 320 or 250GB. The Lenovo does have a better webcam, but you can buy one for the UL50VT for $30. As you have said, the U550 does have WiMAX and the UL50VT does not. Fingerprints will be an annoyance on both machines, but you can wipe them off with a microfiber cloth. As you mentioned, the Asus does have outstanding (and free!!) warranties. Another nice feature of th UL50VT is that it has an aluminum lid, so the screen itself is that much sturdier. Plus it just looks awesome. I am the very satisfied owner of a UL50VT-A1 and I must say it has met or exceeded all of my expectations. The build quality is well above usual, and it is much faster than I had expected. Although I don't have any experience with the Lenovo, I can say that the UL50VT looks amazing, the pictures don't do it justice. Also, the programs that Asus includes are very helpful, and other than those, there really wasn't too much "bloatware" included with it. In my opinion, the only category in which the U550 really "beats" the Asus is price, but even then, when you consider what you are getting, the Asus is very reasonable. In summary, I would recommend the Asus.

Yes, I've found this one to work well. I don't use it intensively though. It is roughly the same size and weight, perhaps a little lighter and smaller.

It is certainly light but getting it configured takes some space and some effort. You might buy it, try it out at home, and then see if you consider it portable. I probably would not.

It does great for home based quantities, we used it for bread. But I think it's underpowered and undersized for this. Step up to the 600, can't remember the exact model but it's larger and heavier. That is what we needed to do. If you price shop you'll find the heavier one for just a little bit more. I bought one of the heavier new and one of the heavier factory refurbished for my daughter. The first refurb had a bit of noise; they replaced it right away and the replacement has been fine for 5 years.Hope this helps!

I went ahead and purchased the 1201n, actually 2 of them, one for my wife and 1 for me. We love the size and weight.I upgraded the RAM to 4 gb (3.25 usable) and am happy with the result. We travel a lot-fly and roadtrip, and this is just the ticket for us. I am sure the ul20a is a nice machine but we very happy with the 1201n.

I am looking for something lighter than a notebook to travel with that I can watch movies on, read books on as well as access the internet from time to time. Any ideas? Please help. Thanks!

I purchased a 120 inch portable screen for 200 bucks! It folds up into a travel case that is about 3ft. long and weighs about 30 lbs. I love it! Bought it here on Amazon as well. It does work fairly well on a wall or a sheet. But the screen is Much better! Well worth the money!

Thanks for your reply, but I already purchased the emotion edge.. I really like the edge performance wise, but found that it offered little room for extra gear storage. Good for day trips or fishing though.. I also purchased an emotion comet 110, listed at around a foot longer it really seems allot bigger compared to the edge, the hull shape of the comet (flat on the bottom) also allows for ample storage for overnight outings...Thanks again for your input .

I am uncertain what the listing means though they may be referring to the ASUS Transformer Book T300LA-DH51T 13.3-Inch Detachable 2 in 1 Touchscreen Ultrabook, Core i5-4200U (or the T300 LA DH71T which has a Core i7 processor) which are the newer 13 inch detachables from Asus. The T300 LA is different in several respects (check the listing) including no battery and hard-drive in the keyboard section. As for the weight issue, it depends on your expectations. The Tx300 is reasonably light for regular usage (as a laptop). When used as a tablet it is obviously heavier than the usual 10 or 11 inch tablet but offers much more screen real estate for work and play (eg movies) so for me that was an acceptable trade off. I particularly wanted to be able to read a magazine full page without have to scroll around or enlarge the page and this ( 13 inch screen) accomplishes that goal very well.

The benefit is the same, its just a matter of convenience. Our 4" is designed to be very portable and travel size so it really depends on what your needs and wants are. Both will do the same and give you the same benefits.

I've owned the 500GB model since August. I bought it as a travel machine, but it has become my main machine. Have had no troubles. I also have a Lenovo 15". The Asus screen is so great; the size so compact, the RAID0 fast start so responsive, is it is what I am on almost all the time. Looking for improvements -- I would like 16GB of memory for big files and a 10 keypad for numeric entry. I'm happy with this -- but watching for Asus to add those feature and I will buy Asus again. My first Asus laptop, but by comparison HP and Lenovo are appliances.

My daughter has the laptop away at college but I seem to recall we weighed it and it was more like 3.5 lbs, definitely less than 7. Be aware: we waited too long to comment on this purchase but if you have not bought it yet, think twice! She has had a number of problems with this computer--some of which she may be able to rectify by updating drivers, etc.--but overall it has been a disappointment compared to other hp laptops we have owned. Just sayin'...

It weighs 16lbs so a bit heavy for portable. It is AC powered only for the version I have.
