Awesome. I would like to buy one
Don’t you think it’s a bit expensive? I mean it’s cheap for those who want projector but i don’t think anyone would like to buy expensive all-in-one product.
Yes, unfortunately the price is a bit on the higher side…
May be the price tag is not so inviding.
We buy gadgets in a passing graze manners, so if the price tag come up to too high, it would be a draw back for the gadget lovers.
