Hes a cool dude and loves new tech. So I thought Iād share the projector with him. Unfortunately he has since bought one and loves it. I have yet to even test one out

This is not true.
Iāve been working with the unit all day today, putting it through itās paces and both Chromecast as well as Airplay are unavailable unless you connect a device to the USB/HDMI ports. (ie Chromecast, Apple TV, Amazon Fire Stick, etc)
to be honest Iād rather Anker made it ādumberā and you can connect your choice of dongle you probably already own.
I can some do magical things with a Raspberry Pi (or similar) which is USB powered for not much $ which is HDMI output and use bluetooth keyboard / mouse and just need a HDMI projector.
Works out cheapest in total for most people who own something already.

Donāt all the Nebulas seem expensive for what youāre getting?
$600 for 720p
$400 for 480p
$3000 for 1080p
Compared to TVs its crazy. Not only that but thereās no way they can be very bright with some of the sizes they are claiming.

Youāre paying for version 1.
I agree its bad value and I expect bad performance, but youāre comparing to TVs of a mature product produced and sold in much more quantity.
Around here you can get a LCD screen for free they are on the street with a āfreeā sticker on them to avoid recycling costs and if you add a Chromecast (old one on ebay or craigslist $10) or Raspberry Pi you can do just as well as these current projectors for a fraction of the cost. What these projectors can do though is be āoff-gridā but thenā¦ (version 1 problem) they are not using the other Anker off-grid products like USB-PD to keep them going they are still designed in an on-grid mindset.
Version 3 will be better.
What Iām waiting for is better headset projectors into the eye, up close to the eye you need a lot less energy (light loss is to square of distance so 1/100th the distance to your eye needs 1/10000th the energy) therefore passive cooling and a high pixel density is possible. Google Glasses concept just much better. Then BT stream off your mobile. There is no reason these cannot be got down in cost to a few $ and built into glasses for $ and then if you all want to share then its multicast. Youād then have off-grid equivalent which lasts days on batteries.
Still not worth it.
