Boxlight Bumblebee


(3 out of 5)

MSRP: $799


The Bumblebee projector is the result of some good and bad design decisions.

Review date: Jan 25, 2007

Based on its general appearance and features, the Boxlight Bumblebee projector is surely a sibling of the Mitsubishi Pocket Projector PK20. But we prefer the Bumblebee’s rounded edges, which make it easy to slide in and out of its small carrying pouch. There is no similar pouch for cables, and surprisingly no VGA cable for connecting to a laptop.   For laptop-less operation, the Bumblebee has an SD Card slot. To use it, you must save your PowerPoint slideshow on an SD Card as a series of JPEG image files. We had some trouble getting the projector to recognize that an SD Card was present, and there was about a one-second lag time between slides. We also had some trouble getting the Bumblebee to display video files; the only video it did show satisfactorily was an MPEG-4 file.
