Laser Portable Gaming Projector Review: Not Ideal
This review takes a critical look at the Laser Portable Gaming Projector, a retro gaming projector with an Android OS and built-in games. While it has some appealing features, the projector falls short in several areas, making it a less-than-ideal choice for gamers.
Design and Features
The projector is portable and easy to set up, with a rotating base for wall or ceiling projection. However, its 1280x720 resolution and 300 lumens make it a basic projector, not ideal for movie or sports viewing. The included controllers are cheap and the speakers are poor, requiring external speakers for better audio.
Retro Gaming
The projector's gaming capabilities are limited. It includes 80 built-in games, but many are poor, and the emulator is slow and laggy. The included games are often mediocre, and the projector struggles with precision-demanding titles. Emulation in Australia is legally questionable, adding to the concerns.
Value and Performance
At $299, the projector is expensive for its capabilities. The value is undermined by the poor quality of the included games and the emulator's performance. The projector's overall score is 2.5/5, indicating that it's not ideal for gamers.
Conclusion
While the Laser Portable Gaming Projector has some retro gaming potential, it's let down by its poor performance, cheap controllers, and mediocre games. It's not a recommended choice for gamers, and older retro consoles may be a better option.
