Well, the input at the front will make it much easier to maintain cable management without having cables cross the whole table in most configurations. With this projector, you can just put those cables under the table (assuming the projector is placed at the end of the table). It's small form factor and ability to display big images from a very short distance is making this product just badass. But because of the short distance, you can't use it for one of those cool setups without any monitors but having a table standing a couple of meters in front of a wall with a projector beaming the image onto it. And I wasn't able to find a DisplayPort on the images. In conclusion, I would still love to have it for some special situations, like a conference meeting with the projector screen placed very near the table.
