Verdict

The Lenovo Xiaoxin 100M is a compact, entry-level smart projector featuring native 1080p Full HD resolution, 400 ANSI lumens of brightness, and a 1,000:1 contrast ratio. Its standout characteristic is a built-in U-shaped gimbal stand that allows for a 210° vertical tilt, enabling easy projection onto walls or ceilings. Main pros include its lightweight 0.8 kg portable design, integrated Android 12 OS with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0, and automated setup tools like ToF laser autofocus and auto-keystone correction. However, notable cons include its limited brightness which requires a dark room for optimal viewing, mediocre dual 3W built-in speakers, and high input lag (~60-70ms) that makes it unsuitable for competitive gaming.
