A laptop’s ‘note taking’ capabilities is a strategy taken by Dell as…

Epson’s new range of high-end low-price projectors – with a dash of 3D
One of the heavyweight exhibitors at IFA was Epson and I spent a great deal of time getting to know their new range of home cinema projectors. I now desperately want a home cinema. Coincidence?
