Anker is known for its Nebula line of projectors. Among the models it offers is the Capsule II, a portable projector with a built-in battery. Anker has now announced a Star Wars R2-D2 Limited Edition of the projector. The Nebula Capsule II Star Wars R2-D2 Limited Edition ditches the black paint job of the normal version for one akin to that of the popular R2-D2 droid from the Star Wars series. The manufacturer says that the design is inspired by the iconic scene from Star Wars: A New Hope where Princess Leia sends a holographic message to Obi-Wan Kenobi through the droid.
The paint job is not the only thing that
is different. This special edition projector also makes sounds similar to the
droid in the movies when booted up. Save for these additions, the limited
edition has the same specs as the standard version. The Anker Nebula Capsule II
Star Wars™ R2-D2™ Limited Edition runs Android 9 TV with Google Assistant and
Chromecast support. It has a brightness of 200 ANSI lumens, a 720p resolution,
and can project images and videos up to 100 inches in size.
The Nebula Capsule II can also double as a
Bluetooth speaker. It has an auxiliary port, a full-sized USB port, an HDMI
port, and a USB-C port for charging the device. It comes with a voice remote, a
USB-C cable, and a power adapter in the box. When used as a projector, the
device has a battery life of 2.5 hours.
The Anker Nebula Capsule II Star Wars™
R2-D2™ Limited Edition is available on the official website for US$ 699.99, which
is US$ 120 more than the price of the standard version. At the moment, Anker is
even selling the standard version for US$ 529.99, so unless you really really love
Star Wars, you are better off getting the standard version.
