I am not sure if there is one specifically for Mac but I do know t hat there is a special adopter USB cord, etc. Two of my program presenters this past year had it so were able to use our regular projecter. That maybe the way to go at a lower price for you rather than the exspense of a new projecter. Unless you want to have one of your own to take with you everywhere. Just a suggestion.

I’m sure that a computer warehouse-like store, like Micro- center can hook you up at a bargain price. If expense is important, shop around, online, save some bread.

We have gone through a few projectors in this office. We’re a mac shop, but as long as you have the right dongle any LCD projector should work.
We recently bought a new one at Best Buy (of all places), and I LOVE IT!! It’s an Optoma brand, which I had never heard of before. I bought it based on lumens and because it had the best resolution, something I find critical.
However, I wouldn’t call it a portable projector, although I can certainly pick it up. If you plan on training in multiple places you may want to make sure you pick up a light weight traveling projector.

@rich-brooks Rich I did look at the Optima at Best Buy. Usually their service is good, but that day the best I could get was pointing me to where they were located. I even Tweeted about it and no response from Best Buy, which I found amazing. It does need to be portable.
Thanks @trudy and @durkbarton for your input too.
