Viewsonic M2
The ViewSonic M2 is a compact, highly portable projector that can run on batteries.
You can read all about it in our in depth review.
Hand-held... sort of
It's about the size of two thick paperbacks side-by-side.
Speakers
The two 3-watt speakers were tuned by Harman Kardon and sound surprisingly OK.
Zoomless
There's no zoom on the M2. For a bigger or smaller image, you need to move the projector farther or closer to the screen. There isn't even an analog manual focus control. Instead there's a camera-like autofocus, which you can also adjust via the remote.
Remote
The remote isn't backlit and has a rather unintuitive layout. However, there aren't many buttons, so eventually I'd imagine one would get used to it.
Tilt-A-Whirl
You can tilt the M2 farther upwards than most projectors thanks to its adjustable hinged foot.
Handle in a pinch
Seems sturdy enough to use as handle to move around, but I wouldn't throw it around like that.
Connections
There are internal apps, but they're not as good as what you'd get from a Roku or Amazon streaming stick. To that end, there are HDMI and USB connections on the back.
Power
Normally you'll have the M2 connected to a wall outlet via its included power brick. It can also run off a USB-C battery pack (not included).
1 movie
ViewSonic claims around two hours of playback from a 10,000 mAh battery. Using battery power also dims the image.
Feet
The three small feet are adjustable, too. The compartment on the lower left is for the included Wi-Fi adapter.
