What's great about it: No issues with passing a video signal
What's not so great: Cable is pretty stiff and the connector is long and hard to fit in tight spaces
Chose this cable over the Monster cable because of price. Can't say I can tell any difference. Just wish the connector was a little shorter and the cable more flexible.

What's great about it: Controls Keynote and PowerPoint Slides, Laser Point very bright
What's not so great: Battery Door hard to open and feels cheap
With one of the new MPBr laptops, my options were limited with what I could use to control presentations. Didn't have the option of using the Apple IR remote as the new MBP's don't have the built in IR sensor anymore.
The Targus remote works well enough, sometimes the slides don't advance on the first button push, or it feels like it double advances and overall, the feel is slightly cheap and plasticy, but that's more of a nitpick than an issue.
Also, don't forget to toggle the switch under the battery door for PC, Mac KN, or Mac PPT.
Gets the job done until Apple decides to make a better one themselves.

Great movie, picks up where the first one leaves off and leads you right into more action with a cliffhanger of an ending.
