Can I use a Mac laptop with the LitePro projector?

Biology Computer Projectors
Generally, yes. The LitePro has a converter box which will accept a signal from either VGA (labelled "PC") or the older Mac monitor connect (HD-15).

For reasons that escape me entirely, sometimes it works better if you use the mac setting and an HD-15 to VGA converter. Go figure.

Which emulation should I use (Mac Plus, Mac 128K, Mac SE)?

Mini vMac FAQ
Which version to use depends on what ROM image you have. If you have all of them then the Mac Plus emulation is probably preferable. There are few detectable differences in the Mac SE emulation, and it’s not as well tested. The Mac 128K emulation can run some very early software that won’t run on a Mac Plus, but a lot of software that works on the Mac Plus won’t work on a Mac 128K (and only 128K of memory is very limiting).
