  2. 2 Which to get
In today’s comparison, we’re diving into two projectors that cater to those who want to bring the big screen experience into their space. On one hand, we have the Portable Mini Projector, which touts its compact size and convenience for on-the-go viewing. On the other, there's the Cacacol P20 Pro Smart Projector, which promises impressive specs like native 1080p resolution, 4K support, and a brightness output that could rival a small cinema.

While the Portable Mini Projector focuses on portability, we’ll explore if it sacrifices performance for size. In contrast, the Cacacol P20 Pro aims to deliver a premium home theater experience with features like electric focus and auto keystone correction. But does that make it worth the investment, or is it overkill for casual viewers?

Join us as we dissect the strengths and weaknesses of both options to help you determine whether you should prioritize portability or performance in your next projector purchase.

Which to get​

Looking to make a decision on which projector to grab, and I could really use your input!

First up, we have the **Portable Mini Projector**. While I don't have the full deets, I’m curious if it can compete with the Cacacol P20 Pro Smart Projector, which boasts some serious specs.

The **Cacacol P20 Pro** comes in with a **native 1080p** and supports **4K**—that’s a big plus for picture quality. Plus, its **700 ANSI lumens** brightness should keep the visuals sharp and vibrant, even in less-than-ideal lighting. The **electric focus** and **4P auto keystone correction** sound like they’ll make setup a breeze.

On the sound front, I’d love to know if the **Portable Mini Projector** has decent audio or if I’ll be left hunting for external speakers. The Cacacol is a bit of a powerhouse with its **Amlogic T950S Quad-Core CPU** and **2GB RAM**, but I wonder if there are any downsides with it, like heat issues or fan noise.

If anyone has experience with either of these, particularly on picture and sound quality, system performance, and any potential downsides, I’d really appreciate your thoughts!
