Fujitsu has just revealed what I think is a very cool little device, the fold-out Fujitsu Bay Projector. This is a fold-out projector that fits into any modular notebook bay. What is cool is that this projector can be ready to go in a matter of seconds and is specifically designed so that you don’t need an external beamer or any external cables in order to share data including slides, spreadsheets or even YouTube videos due to the fact that all of that is built in.
According to Head of Workplace Systems at Fujitsu Technology Solutions Dieter Heiss, “Every business notebook user knows the scenario of arriving at an important meeting ready to give a presentation, only to discover that the projector is broken, missing or just won’t work with their notebook. The Bay Projector Solves that – and underlines how LIFEBOOK models are truly a fully-mobile office. What’s more is that projecting images directly from a notebook’s modular bay is not only a world’s first but also very convenient – so we expect the Bay Projector to quickly become a ‘must have’ executive accessory.”
The Fujitsu Bay Projector will be available in July as an option for the Fujitsu LIFEBOOK P771 and the LIFEBOOK S761 notebooks. One good feature is that the Bay Projector won’t take up a lot of space. The modular bay that houses the projector is approximately the size of a DVD and will work on virtually any surface.
Brightness and contrast are adjustable directly on the Bay Projector via built-in buttons. The Bay Projector also features laser beam technology. This is designed to provide you with high contrast and color depth, giving you crisp, clear images. The projector is also able to double as a private movie cinema, projecting movies directly from your laptop.
You will be able to order this device beginning on July 1st, 2011 across the CEMEA, United Kingdom, Ireland and Nordic Regions in LIFEBOOK P771 and LIFEBOOK S761 models for a $711 price tag that will vary depending on your region.
