It&#8217;s not intended to be a standalone projector like the P1 or BeamBox&#8217;s other picos.</p> http://discuss.slashgear.com/topic/beambox-essential-g2-pico-projector-aimed-at-netbooksnotebooks#post-257 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 12:17:42 +0000 Maff 257@http://discuss.slashgear.com/ <p>My AAXA P1 pico projector has better features and is a bit cheaper&#8230; but the main thing that confuses me is how you&#8217;re supposed to access the 1GB of onboard memory? Does it have an onboard video/music decoder? If so, where are the buttons to control it? WTF?</p> http://discuss.slashgear.com/topic/beambox-essential-g2-pico-projector-aimed-at-netbooksnotebooks#post-249 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 07:41:00 +0000 Chris Davies 249@http://discuss.slashgear.com/ <blockquote><p>BeamBox&#8217;s Evolution R1 pico-projector <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/beambox-evolution-r1-pico-projector-review-2538874/" target="_blank">wasn&#8217;t exactly a giant</a>, but the company obviously decided they could do better with their next-gen model.  The BeamBox <a href="http://www.beambox.co.uk/product_details.php?product_id=24" target="_blank">Essential G2</a>, then, drops both bulk and weight to come in at 75g, together with 20 lumens brightness and VGA 640 x 480 resolution.</p> <p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-49787" title="beambox_essential_g2_1" src="http://www.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/beambox_essential_g2_1-540x392.jpg" alt="beambox essential g2 1 540x392" width="540" height="392" /></p> </blockquote> <p><br/><a href="http://www.slashgear.com/beambox-essential-g2-pico-projector-aimed-at-netbooksnotebooks-2049785/">BeamBox Essential G2 pico-projector aimed at netbooks/notebooks</a></p>
