Our Tests and Conclusions

Our Tests

Instead of lab test, we decided to test this kit in a practical environment. We brought this kit with us to an eight-hour workshop we gave. The kit exceed our expectations. Its range was outstanding: we could control the presentation even on the opposite side of the auditorium – a 600-people site.

From all available functions, the one that we found more convinient was the rounded knob for controlling the next/previous slide on PowerPoint. This is a really amazing feature. The integrated laser pointer is another hot feature from this kit, because we didn't need to carry two pieces on our hands at the same time.

The fact of being wireless and not infrared is really awesome. Even faced back to our computer we could control the presentation, not distracting our audience, which is very common to happen if you need to stop the presentation every 2 minutes or so to change the slide.

In our next workshop/lecture we won't carry our notebook anymore: we will record the PowerPoint file in the memory of the unit and we will use the PC available at the facilities. No extra weight in our luggage anymore.

The mouse of this unit is also very unique. It is sensible to the pressure you give to it. If you press it with more strenght, the mouse cursor moves faster, while it will move slower if you don't push the pad too hard.

During the eight hours of our workshop we didn't face any trouble with the unit and its batteries kept running if they were brand new at the end of the day.

On the previous day, however, we tested the kit on an one-hour lecture and the kit stopped working. To solve this problem we just unplugged it from the USB port and plugged it again. This was the only problem we had with this unit.

Conclusions

The Wireless Presentation Kit from Gigabyte is really convenient and will please both the user that makes a lot of PowerPoint presentations and companies that lease products for presentations (belive in us, this kit is worthwhile buying). Besides its countless features not present in other units, it is wireless, feature that gives you freedom to not point the unit to the receptor. Simply addictive, this is our newest official co-star in all our presentation from now on.
