Self-starter asking for hardware recommendations?

I’ve been wanting to learn how to make interactive projections for the last year or two. Since then I’ve been saving up my money and I’m ready to buy a PC laptop and projector. None of my friends are into this, they pretty much all think I’m crazy, and I’m kind of on my own.

Could anyone recommend a good PC laptop or projector for a self starter? What did you start on? I’m not misses moneybags or anything, but any advice is really appreciated. Thanks.

Your profile fits perfectly here…

If you have > 1k to spend on a laptop go for the Clevo stuff, best bang for your money as they say…

About projectors, it s more difficult to say, if it is just for home use, Optoma does some cheap and pretty powerfull projectors, you can get 4000 lumens for under 1K
