Good for a teacher? I need to run a projector, a Mimio interactive software and a document camera. Would this be a budget friendly option that would work for nothing else but for the technology?

On the low end side, I would recommend the Dell equivalent as it has an HDMI output and I do not recall seeing that option on this one when I set it up. Price wise, I had ordered the Dell for my friend's daughter as it was point on same price, if not a little cheaper from Dell. The dell arrived one day late at my house and because of my promise, I had grabbed the HP at best buy the day before and set it up at the friend's home.

So, I am typing this on a mid range HP 17inch touch screen with i7 procs and it is a turkey. I have returned it to HP twice for the same issue, case failing and plastic literally rattling around in the case. So I am not impressed. I used to like HP stuff but for nearly 2K for this laptop, I could not recommend the brand any longer.

As a reference, I have 2 Dell laptops, a Samsung, a Dell Professional Workstation, and a MacBook Pro (which we do not like but has been no problem). some of these are from 2010. I also have an iPad my wife bought me in 2010, it is barely functional and has been that way since the iPad 2 came out. that is 900 dollars we cannot get back for a kindle reader.

My HP experience is not stellar.

My MacBook issues are functional. The aluminum case is cool. Apple, they let you do the things they want you to do with the tools they let you have.

I do not know if this would be the best fit for a teacher, I believe you would benefit with an HP PC with more memory and hard drive space.
