BenQ Joybee GP1 Reviewed

ShasGear just reviewed the BenQ Joybee GP1 pico projector, here's what they say. Read the full BenQ Joybee GP1 review at SlashGear.

The hardware package is a mixed bag of success. The GP1 itself is an attractive, compact box measuring 5.4 by 4.7 by 2.1 inches and weighing just 1.4lbs, made from glossy fingerprint-loving black and white plastic and with a circle of touch-sensitive blue backlit buttons up top. Build quality seems good, and while there’s no sliding cover the lens is deeply recessed into the body of the projector.

Less pleasing is the PSU brick, which is around half the size of the pico-projector itself and has no space in the included soft case. That wouldn’t be so frustrating if it wasn’t for the fact that the GP1 has no internal battery and so will always need an external power supply. The remote, too, is ugly and doesn’t follow the same button layout as the touch-keys.
