Recommendation for an NEC projector below (thanks David). I can't find an NP 300, but we could get a lower spec NP115 for £275:

What is good for presentations but manageable with a netbook?

What means good?

Good = portable? Good = reliable? Good = durable? Good = efficient?

The small projectors has got a limited lifetime.

Consider also that the 70% of cost is due to the lamp, when the lamp is broken there is no sense to repair it.

In my case I have chosen the NEC solution: http://www.necdisplay.com/Products/Series/?series=1b0806a6-284e-45e8-aaf4-58...

They are expensive but I have never had problems with them (easy to implement, reliable and good quality).

After three years the HP is broken, the Benq has having problems of setup with ATI drivers but NEC is still valid and seems to be bought yesterday.
