The portability and ease of use

The BenQ Joybee GP1 is a mini image thrower that's so small it can fit in your hand but still looks as the Projector God intended - like a projector. It's so small in fact that it'll slip in your manbag no...

Get past the price and forget about its little flaws and the BenQ Joybee GP1 is cute, highly portable projector. Still, this is leading the pico projector brigade. And how!Best offers for the BenQ Joybee GP1Oyyy.co.uk £339.99 Amazon Marketplace...
Abstract: Verdict: The low price and amazing portability of the GP1 make it the best mini projector to date, but it's still far from perfect. BenQ's Joybee GP1 is tiny - it literally fits in your hand - and weighs just 640g. This DLP projector achieves this f...
