Smaller, smarter projectors are gaining popularity but your options can be limited when looking for one. Fortunately, the Xgimi Elfın has blown that wide open. It's clear that the company has put everything it has learned into crafting the ideal one.
The Xgimi Elfin isn't something you can simply toss in your purse or small backpack, unlike the Xgimi MoGo Pro+. However, at 192 x 194 x 48mm, it will take up just as much space as a 13-inch Ultrabook. Better yet, at 900g, it will feel much less of a burden than something like a MacBook Air or a Dell XPS 13. So, if you're used to carrying your laptop everywhere, you'll have no concerns transporting this.
While it does keep things travel-friendly, it's also very stable. The biggest issue with smaller units is that they can wobble at the slightest knock or bump. The Elfin takes a wider, flatter form than most, which allows it to lay flat on surfaces, effectively eliminating the wobble issue.
Aside from its dual-band 2.4/5Ghz Wi-Fi, the Xgimi Elfin also comes with Bluetooth 5.0, handy if you want to connect it with a Bluetooth speaker or a pair of wireless headphones. And either option is much better than the built-in speakers on the projector.
Don't get us wrong, the two 3W downward-facing Harman Kardon speakers on the Elfin work just fine, but they're not detailed or wide enough to deliver an immersive experience, even in a small room. They're decent, however, and can get respectably loud.
