The design allows it to be placed in areas or rooms with limited space. More so, it is compatible with several appliances such as with PCs, gaming consoles, TV’s, and CD/DVD players and therefore gains much wider acceptance.

The XPS speakers were made to achieve outstanding aesthetic effects. The slim design and the black lacquer color tomes provide an ultra modern decoration for the living room. It was made to blend with modern home theater design so that they serve as replacement speakers or extra ones for these systems. Perhaps they were made to save space too. The speakers are made from wood to emphasize an ecofriendly product.

Despite their slim appearance, there is much power in the XPS. Users have a total of 10 Watts power. This makes the system an ideal choice for gamers, home theater enthusiasts and portable MP3 owners who want to play their sound files over an external speaker.

One minus for the XPS Slim is the wired mini remoter. In these days when even CD players have wireless remotes, how can one pardon Hercules for a corded remote? Well, there may be a reason for them doing so. Maybe a wireless remote is easy to lose. Or an advanced remote may have added more cost to the speaker and therefore made the set more expensive.

InFocus improved on the connectivity too. You can connect two computers to the projector. This means two people can use the system for presentation. This is a time saving feature and one that will also let small to medium sized businesses save money on new projector investments.

If you need to travel with the projector you can cut down on luggage cost by using the DisplayLink feature that works by transmitting the data in a compressed form from the PC to the projector; helping you do away with the VGA cable.

It is not understood why a projector of this capability is unable to project DVD images so well. The output is so poor at times you may have to decipher what is been projected.

For such a fine appliance, you will be surprised that the audio is very poor. The projector has a 1 watt sound output and even that you can hardly hear what is been spoken because the sound is delivered in the mono format. When you take this negative feature out, all you have is a top notch projector suitable for both home and business use.
