Xgimi’s portable MoGo 2 Pro projector is $200 off right now

Let’s face it, a big TV isn’t always an option, especially if you live in a tiny apartment or prefer a more nomadic lifestyle. In those instances, it might be wiser to buy the Xgimi MoGo 2 Pro, a portable Android TV projector that’s small enough to toss in your backpack before heading out the door. Thankfully, Xgimi’s 1080p smart projector is currently on sale at Amazon for $399.99 ($200 off) when you clip the on-page coupon, which drops it to one of its lowest prices to date.

Despite its small stature and modest 400 ANSI lumens, the MoGo 2 Pro can project large, 200-inch images while delivering surprisingly good picture quality at smaller sizes (think 30 inches). It looks best when viewed in the dark, like most projectors, which results in a brighter, richer image than if you were to view it in a room awash with ambient light. That being said, picture quality is only part of the equation. Xgimi’s mini projector also has Chromecast built-in and doubles as a surprisingly solid Bluetooth speaker — one you can easily run on a USB-C power bank should the need arise.

The Xgimi MoGo 2 Pro is a portable smart projector and Bluetooth speaker that delivers surprisingly good picture and sound quality for its size.

If you’re an Apple fan looking to pick up a new smart speaker, Apple’s pint-sized HomePod Mini has returned to its all-time low at Best Buy, where you can grab in one of five colors for $79.99 ($20 off).

If you’re embedded in Apple’s ecosystem, the HomePod Mini can make life a little easier. As Apple’s smallest Siri-based speaker, it integrates well with other Apple devices and can act as a dedicated smart home hub, allowing you to control various lights, locks, plugs, and other compatible smart home gadgets. Thanks to a post-launch software update, it can also monitor temperature and humidity levels — something that is particularly useful when paired with a connected thermostat or air quality monitor. Then there’s the speaker itself, which produces good sound for its size and more bass than similarly-sized options from Amazon and Google. It can’t rival the second-gen HomePod and bigger, more expensive speakers, but then again, it doesn’t have to when it costs less than a third of the price.

Apple’s smallest smart speaker, the HomePod Mini, comes with Siri, Apple’s voice assistant, built in and can play music, set timers, and control your smart home as well as send messages and make calls using your iPhone. It comes in white, dark gray, blue, yellow, and orange.

The smart thermostat can adapt to your habits over time in a similar fashion to more expensive models, which can help lower your energy consumption and potentially save you money. That said, it’s only compatible with Amazon Alexa, so it might be a better choice if you’re already tapped into Amazon’s ecosystem.

In addition to offering six outlets that are compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, the power strip features three USB-A ports for juicing tablets and other electronics. Each outlet is set up to monitor energy consumption, too, much like Amazon’s aforementioned smart thermostat.
