Hey guys, looking for a recommendation. Totally cool if this doesn't exist, just thought I'd see where portable projector setups are at:

What's your budget?
$500

Intended sources -- what are you going to watch/play/do?
I'd like a laptop-bag setup (doesn't need to fit in my pocket or anything) that would allow me to pack a projector with my laptop (13" rmpb) and allow me to play movies/games in a dim-to-dark room.

Sources:
PC, laptop, phone, chromecast.

How big of a picture do you want? "I don't care/Big" is an acceptable answer
I don't care/big. I'm looking for something that'd handily beat a laptop screen/ipad for group movie watching while travelling.

Are you going to use a screen? (if you already own a screen, how big/what kind/what gain, if known?)
What are the restrictions, if any, on placement?

No screen. A portable setup would hopefully give me flexibility of placement.

Assume a power source, no need for batteries/solar/hydro whatever other bullshit.

Stuff I've found:

This looks cool but I can't find a mention of it outside of Amazon. So I don't trust it at all.

I like the flatter build of this one

Pricey and I really just want the simplest, best picture I can get in the smallest form factor- this one seems to have some wifi features that I don't care at all about. Seems to have great picture and would fit in carry-on, which I could bump up to if the quality improvement were there.
