XGIMI Horizon Pro 4K projector review

English
| Product Review
The XGIMI Horizon Pro 4K projector is commended for its excellent picture quality, ease of setup, and advanced features like auto-keystone and auto-focus. Despite its high price, the projector's compact design and Android TV integration offer a premium home entertainment experience. However, the lack of native Netflix support and subpar built-in speakers are noted as significant drawbacks, with the latter likely requiring additional speaker setup for optimal sound quality.

Test-Driving The Electric 2023 Smart #1
29 Sept 2023
|
Forbes
|
English
| Technology Review
The Smart #1 is an electric vehicle that represents a new direction for the Smart brand, with a larger size than its predecessors and a 66 kWh battery offering up to 260 miles of range. It features a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive system and can charge up to 80% in under 30 minutes. The car includes standard features such as heated seats, a panoramic glass roof, and a 12.8-inch touchscreen display. Despite its decent value and impressive EV platform, the Smart #1 has technical imperfections, including a delayed regenerative braking response and a problematic speed limit reading system. The author suggests potential buyers consider the upcoming Volvo EX30, which shares the same platform and may offer better value.
