Portable 4K laser cinema: Hisense M2 Pro reimagines home viewing

Mashable’s hands-on with the Hisense M2 Pro 4K triple-laser portable projector finds it packs bright, daylight-friendly 1,300 ANSI lumens, up to 200-inch images, 240Hz gaming with 12ms input lag, and decent onboard speakers, all in a ~9-pound chassis with a carrying case. It runs Vidaa OS but accepts external streaming devices, and it requires an AC power brick (no built-in battery). Setup includes auto-focus/keystone adjustments; best for setups that can project at least 65 inches. Priced around $1,299 (often on sale near $1,099). Verdict: a strong alternative to a TV for movie nights and gaming, with the tradeoffs of size and power needs.
