Decently bright
Google TV streaming Cons Budget lens limits placement options
A bit noisy at full brightness
The Soundcore Nebula P1i has speakers that fold out and rotate. They look a lot like little elephant ears. They're also gray. So if you add a trunk and a second eyeball -- and you squint a lot -- then it's sort of a mini robot elephant. It's actually a projector, of course, and a budget one at that.
What's most impressive beyond the adorable and functional "ears" is the fact that the P1i performs far better than you'd expect for a projector that includes Google TV and costs less than $400. It has a simplistic lens that requires it to be positioned at roughly midpoint of the image it is projecting (no upward throw), but as long as you don't mind that, a trapezoidal image or a bit of keystone correction, this is a great budget projector.
