Almost perfect portable projector

I am very satisfied with this projector. Of course, you shouldn't use it outdoors or in a well-lit room, but it's perfect for small conference rooms or bedrooms. However, there are some disadvantages that detract from the fifth star. The physical buttons are fiddly and sometimes work in unexpected ways (pressing the X button registers as a Y button), meaning you have to use the remote control.2. The projector's battery drains VERY quickly and will be completely depleted in less than a week. I suspect this is because the projector is always ready to respond to remote control input.3. Some network functions seem immature after purchasing a compatible dongle. The only reliable way to connect your phone is through the Asus app or a physical MHL cable. It seems that it wants to support Android screen mirroring via Miracast (note: Asus never states this, but there is an option for it), but it almost always fails. I find the carrying case that comes with it to be too small given the bulkiness of the power supply. All things considered, these are all minor issues with available workarounds that Asus can hopefully fix with a firmware update (assuming it's supported). As such, I would still wholeheartedly recommend this product if you are looking for portability and utility.
