THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL piece of kit. The X300G from BenQ sits somewhere in the middle of its latest projector product stack. It's complete with 4K 3LED projection lens, exceptional keystone accuracy, auto-adjustment, and impressive brightness and response times, all packed into a nice, attractive little box. It’s advertised as portable, and to a certain extent it kind of is, but it also very much kind of isn’t.
We actually looked up the word 'portable' to find a modern definition. Google sums it up as a smaller version of something that can be easily carried. By that logic, the X300G is absolutely that: portable. Don’t confuse that with being able to use this anywhere and everywhere, however, at least without an electric hookup. There’s a notion in tech that 'portable' means battery-powered. Certainly, the XGIMI Halo+ ticks that box, if only for a few hours, but sadly it’s not something that the X300G can muster in response. It’s dinky, and that’s about it.
