I'll take Potent Potables for $1000, Alex.

These things look awful in real life. (Can you notice how the photographer has had to play around with the available light to make the picture look half-decent?)
Battery-schmattery! In a fully darkened room, you need at least 300 ANSI lumens for the picture to look any good. In a semi-lit room, at least 1000 ANSI lumens. In a fully-lit room, you need at least 2000 ANSI just to overcome the ambient light. How bright is this thing? It probably has an ANSI equivalent of 150 lumens...or less.
You'd be better off putting the $300 toward one of the many ultra-portables that you can buy for under $700.

Damn you, dcjeepguy2001, with your "sense talkin" and your "facts"... way to ruin the party.
Good thing we have YOU to remind us that early adopters of first-gen tech are ignorant and wasteful scum! Some of them may have gone ahead and bought this thing and enjoyed it, despite its shortcomings! The joke would have been on them, however, as the industry, spurred by their first-wave success continued to develop better products with more features! Bwahaha!
Again, we thank you dcjeepguy2001... if only you'd been around to talk us down from our precarious position when the first-gen "portable computer" was introduced!

What's the battery life like? How long can it be used before recharging?
What about projector lamp life? Does it still matter with these new projectors or is it a thing of the past?
Does it get very hot?

It doesn't get very hot, and can run for two hours without any issues. You can hold it in your hand with zero burning. They manual recommends you power it down after two hours though for best picture results.
Battery life is probably about that, though the manual doesn't say and the battery lasted throughout my testing.
And yeah, LEDs last a long time.
