Lots o' light

Rated at 1,100 lumens, I measured less than half that. Still, the AAXA delivers nearly 50% more light than the next-brightest portable projector I've measured, which is very impressive for the price.

Inputs

Connectivity is ample, with HDMI, analog video, USB and a headphone jack.

Big battery

Inside is a 15,000-mAh battery, rated at 90 minutes of playtime at full brightness, or 240 in the 66% dimmer Eco mode. Battery life is excellent for a portable projector.

On the left is the small 4-watt speaker. It's fine, but doesn't play as loud as some other portable projectors.

Fans

The small fans make more noise than you'd expect in Standard and Bright modes. In Eco mode they're pretty quiet though.

Buttons

Not a lot to navigate, since there's no built-in streaming. For that you'll have to BYO streaming stick.

Handheld

It's heavier than it looks, thanks to that huge battery.

P6X

What it does well it does very well, but still misses in a few key areas. However, it's impressively inexpensive.
