A guy I know runs a tiling business, which as far as I can see involves his drinking lots of coffee, making lots of phone calls, and making sure that around a dozen different tilers do the actual hard work.

The Dell Studio 1535 is a good mid-range laptop that fills the gap between premium and mainstream, and offers good quality for the price.
While Panasonic PT-AX200 is an easy to use flexible projector that provides excellent resolution for data, it is only a minor -- if cheaper -- upgrade of its predecessor.
