When I travel, my bag is stuffed with all kinds of things to get me through the trip: A book, iPod, laptop, various DVDs, and—a projector?

InFocus is making the projector part of my travel checklist with the IN1100.

This portable projector family is designed for travel as well as “team settings,” which makes it easy to set up and share with other members of your office.

Inside the IN1100, there’s DLP BrilliantColor technology to produce crisp, colorful images. Other specs include a max of 2,200 lumens and an 1,800:1 contrast ratio. The unit is available in both XGA and WXGA native resolutions to match 4:3 or 16:10 widescreen computer display. It also comes with DisplayLink, which allows the unit to easily connect to a laptop via an included mini USB cable.

All of this—yet, the unit weighs a mere 2.75 pounds. The IN1100 will be available in August for $1,299.
