Typical Sony... neat execution but engineered to be built cheaply.
720P video in 2017?
3GB RAM?
Not room-bright, but you have to dim the lights to use it?
Fixing all the above is technically possible but would cost more.

- patrickg_zill 9y agoI just don't want good to be the enemy of "even better" :-)
- H4CK3RM4N 9y agoI feel like 720p/3GB would be capable enough for most basic Android utility apps, and some social media, which appears to be the use case they're targeting here.
- firmgently 9y agoProjectors don't need to be as high-res as screens, the pixels spread out in the same way as a torch-beam does so you don't get blockiness (and extremely fine resolutions would be lost), and with the applications this would be used for why would you need more precision than 720p? People obsess on resolution too much, probably because it's a nice simple number to compare. Same goes for 3GB RAM.. what will this need loads of RAM for? Isn't it basically an external display combined with cameras and gesture input/processing? [EDIT TO ADD] maybe I'm wrong about this, I thought it was a peripheral but it seems to be standalone.. although the example apps don't sound very taxing. I agree with the general point about Sony designing with cheap components etc but can't see how it matters in this instance.
