Acer K10 (Projectors)

Small but perfectly formed?

The thing that really strikes the K10 down now is the price. Coming in at around £400, up from the original £300 estimate when we first saw the projector in December, the K10 is not much cheaper than models with a much higher specification, which may...

A new kind of projector

Low heat output; compact; easy controls

Noisy fan; separate power supply; low brightness requires low light

An interesting attempt at a miniature projector, but a flawed one

The Acer K10 uses an LED bulb as a light source, making it run cooler and quieter

Good image quality for text; Quiet; Portable

Not great for movies; Odd resolution

When it comes to image quality we were genuinely surprised at how impressive the picture is. Movies were less impressive, but for text and presentations, it is more than usable

Compact; easy to use; long-life LED lamp

The K10 is among the smallest and lightest projectors on the market today, making it the ideal mobile solution for instant, anywhere projection.

We like the compact size of this small projector, but we think it's just a bit pricey for what is quite a basic product, as far as projectors go.

Another respectable step forward for the pico-projector, but it's still not ready for the limelight.

There are big digital projectors, for filling large auditoriums, pocket projectors for camera phone users who want to show off in pubs, and there's Acer's K10. It's a glossy black unit, about the size of a Mac mini, with a 100-lumen output, and has...

The Acer K10 fits into the market as a travel projector, where it's fine for showing a presentation in an office or board room, throwing a picture of up to 1.5m (5ft) diagonal. It would also be suitable in a hotel room or the bed-sit of an affluent...
