Highly Efficient Targus Wireless Presenter Laser Pointer for Professional Presentations: Bluetooth Enabled Control (AMP16US-52) Review

This is a great presentation remote for the price! Most of the time this remote control works fine. I bought this remote for my college program as we didn't have a presentation remote. I had some trouble connecting the remote after it was "off" sometimes. This is solved by turning it on and off multiple times until it works. Once it works I had no problems. We managed all day without having to change batteries. Teachers who have never used the remote control could easily pick up and use it. The

I have edited this review because I have been using the new one for 4 weeks now and it is significantly inferior to the previous one. I was thrilled that it had a locking feature when I ordered it. When it arrived it turned out to only block it so you can only use the clicker without the laser pointer. That's all well and good, but it needs to be able to lock when it's off so it doesn't drain the battery. I liked the new laser pointer and new button to turn off the screen. However, one of the…

I do 20-30 presentations a week a year. I display Powerpoints, PDFs and CAD drawings on the screen.

I bought a Targus AMP02US a while ago and apart from its 1960s look…

I've been using this particular model of presentation console for quite some time - at least 8 years more or less. I've tried many types/models but I'm still sticking with this one for a couple of very important reasons (I've listed them in the Pros section below). I confess that these reasons are vital to me and the way I use this device. I'm a high school social sciences teacher who uses this not only to navigate slides/screens in presentations, but also in alternate mode. I also use it as a…
