Make That to Go
For full-fledged presentation power on the road, it's hard to top a laptop. The 4.9-pound IBM ThinkPad T40 is available in a variety of configurations, including models built with Intel's new Centrino technology and Wi-Fi networking capability. Pricing starts at $2,249. Budget buyers who don't mind some extra weight can check out the ThinkPad R40e, which starts at $899.

Pack a Punch
At 5.3 pounds, the XGA resolution Toshiba TDP-D1 weighs more than some laptops, but it packs 2,000 lumens of brightness for large meeting rooms or situations where the lights can't be dimmed much. A projector like this is a good choice for keeping on-site at your business or taking out for the occasional sales trip.

Now Presenting . . .
Leave that laptop behind, and just take your PocketPC or PalmOS device without sacrificing an effective presentation. The Margi Presenter-to-Go comes in the form of an expansion card slot adapter that lets you hook a PDA up to a projector or display. It features PowerPoint integration and also works with Microsoft Office programs. Even better, Presenter-to-Go comes with an infrared remote. The whole bundle weighs just 0.75 pounds, so you won't have to sweat it.

What a Lightweight!
It's all in the presentation. When you or your salesperson is out on the road, make sure to take along a top-notch but lightweight projector like the 2.2-pound ViewSonic PJ250. Its 1,000 lumens of brightness and XGA resolution will handle most meetings just fine.

Apple of Your Eye?
Apple's Keynote 1.1 presentation software, compatible with PowerPoint files, came out earlier this year to compete with Microsoft's famous product.
