Targus wireless presenter [Posted on 2008-06-11] The old cliché you get what you pay for is true in this case. I ordered one, didn't work (laser pointer), returned to Amazon, got another one and it wouldn't work either (advance nor backup) the slides. Returned it and ordered the Logitech presenter.
Fantastic! [Posted on 2008-07-02] The Targus Wireless presenter is amazing. It's exactly what I was looking for with a great price. Works great and definitely enhances your presentations!
Good one [Posted on 2008-07-10] Good one. I liked it, its working the way i want.
Cons: Needs USB drive attached all the time with the computer during presentation. You may forget to remove it after the presentation.
returned defective device twice [Posted on 2008-08-06] I hate to give a one-star review, but I'm not able to comment much on the product because both I have received did not work. The laser pointer on the first one worked, and the device worked partially on only one out of four computers. It would only flip through slides backwards and slowly at that.
The second device did not work at all. The laser pointer did not even work on this one, even after checking to make sure that the batteries were installed properly.
Credit to Amazon's returns department. I had ordered the Targus pointer to give a presentation at professional meetings, and when the first one did not work, I assumed I would have to do without because a replacement would never arrive in time. I was pleasantly surprised when the second one arrived in about 48-72 hours, even though it did not work either.
Great basic presenter [Posted on 2008-08-07] I've used this presenter for two years now (same one), and have found it an invaluable aid to giving PowerPoint slides in lectures. I don't find it burns through batteries.
I have 2 gripes, however; the on/off switch is darn hard to use, and there's no convenient way to determine if it's on--or off--except by using it. My other issue is that I find the laser pointer pretty weak, so that it's barely useful.
When it first came out, I (and my colleagues) were enchanted. Now I'm in the market for one with a brighter laser pointer.
I do recommend it for an inexpensive work-horse; you won't know how you lived without it. But--you may find that you'll want to step up to a one with a more powerful pointer eventually, like I am...
